BIG BOLD FELTED BROOCHES

I thought it would be a good time to feature some of my DIMENSIONAL BROOCHES.  I'm in love with them because they're BIG, BOLD, COLORFUL, TEXTURED, EMBROIDERED, PAINTED, LAYERED, SCULPTED AND LARGE - 3" to 4".


I've posted a few of them before, but the last two are new.

THE CENTER IS A NEEDLEFELTED PIECE I DID LAST YEAR.  I WET FELTED A PIECE OF PURPLE AND RED TO GO WITH IT AND ATTACHED IT ALL AND EMBELLISHED - BUT, OF COURSE!

THE BOTTOM PIECE OF THIS ONE IS FROM A WET FELTED BOWL I MADE TWO YEARS AGO - DIDN'T ACTUALLY COME OUT THAT GOOD, BUT I LOVED THE COLORS, SO I CUT IT UP AND USED IT FOR A NICE BOTTOM.  THEN I WET FELTED A SMALL PIECE OF PURPLE.  I HAD THE PURPLE CENTER FROM LAST YEAR AND WAS GOING TO USE IT TO MAKE A HAIR PIN.  THE CORD/STRING/THREAD IS FROM NEPAL AND I ADORE IT - IT'S ALL WOUND IN GORGEOUS COLORS.  I ATTACHED IT AROUND THE SECOND LAYER.  YOU CAN SEE SOME OF IT ON THE TOP RIGHT.
