More vintage lace and vintage brooches

Here are some more...a whole mixture of different lace and crochet trimmings...

Vintage Lace and vintage brooches

I have some much vintage lace I wanted to find a use for them! Plus my many different vintage brooches..... also they went so well with the vintage fashion ephemera that I collect... so after a little bit of fiddling and arranging these are the first batch they I made....all sold straight away...but more to come

MIxed media brooches

Ok so these are the first that I have tried... I think I learned a lot but they took hours to get to the point that I was happy to put together... mind you I also found that I really liked stamping on fabric too...so I'll see what I can come up with in the next couple of days... \

Bird Brooches

The Sun is shining and there they were....Betty's Birdy Brooches ------- A Bird came down the Walk – He did not know I saw – He bit an Angleworm in halves And ate the fellow, raw, And then he drank a Dew From a convenient Grass – And then hopped sidewise to the Wall To let a Beetle pass – He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all abroad – They looked like frightened Beads, I thought – He stirred his Velvet Head Like one in danger, Cautious, I offered him a Crumb And he unrolled his feathers And rowed him softer home – Than Oars divide the Ocean, Too silver for a seam – Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon Leap, plashless as they swim. Emily Dickinson
