Christmas making for Christmas shopping

Well it's time to think about buying Christmas presents again. I'm starting to list lots of items in my etsy shop. Small items made from handmade felt and silk. Pretty brooches, pieces to hang around the house and even some to hang on your
special tree. 
 
You can find them all at www.etsy.com/shop/Feltissimo.
 
I've just put this felt embroidered brooch on to etsy this morning.

Embroidered felt brooch, floral design by Feltissimo


My inspiration for this pretty felt brooch was the colours, hues and flowers in the countryside around me.


 I make all of my felt by hand layering wool fibres together and wet felting them so that the fibres become entangled creating a firm felt fabric.

The hand embroidery that I have added to the brooch has been created using antique and vintage recycled silk threads.

Measures approx. 7cms x 4cms / 2.8" x 1.6"

 This pretty felt brooch will make a wonderful addition to a jumper, cardigan, dress or blouse. It would also look great on a bag. Ideal for a Christmas gift.
Vintage fabric from an old quilt on the reverse.

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. Feltissimo has many years experience of shipping items. I pride myself in ensuring that all items arrive at their destination in good condition.
