A felt and silk brooch that I have made in the shape of a boot.
When making the felt my the wet felt method I covered the merino wool
with pure silk. This has given the brooch a wonderful tactile
smoothness. To get a spotted pattern on the boot I needle felted
afterwards which has left tiny spots over the surface where the
underlying wool shows.
The hand embroidery adds further detail and I used vintage silk threads to work stem stitch and french knots.

Brooches need to be handled quite a lot, so in order to make the brooch
firm, I have sandwiched a layer of Decovil light iron interfacing
between the felt front and the vintage fabric back to which I added a
secure pin.
This pretty felt brooch will make a wonderful addition to a jumper,
cardigan, dress or blouse. It would also look great on a bag.
The customer will receive the felt brooch packaged securely in a box. I will then place the box in a plastic postage bag to keep dry.
