My creative space and Queen Anne's lace

The other day I made myself a giant doily brooch, something I've been meaning to do for ages.

I trimmed the middle out of an old doily that was shaped like an eye and sewed it onto some black fabric that I had reinforced with interfacing. I then sewed that onto some black wool felt (that was a beret in a previous life), also reinforced with interfacing, and sewed a brooch back onto that. Here it is on a jacket to show its size:

On this green silk fabric (soon to become a green silk top) I reckon it looks a bit like that plant Queen Anne's lace.


See?

To see a whole lot of other creative spaces pop on over to the "our creative spaces" blog.

Happy Thursday to you!
