Embroidered Brooches

I was inspired this week by my first custom order on etsy. Marie requested my embroidered roses on a brooch. I did one for her and loveed how it turned out. She wanted the pale pink roses on blue. My style is a bit different so I experimented with black & cream and red roses on cream. I have been crocheting lately as well and so I added a sweet little crochet lace trim to both brooches. Here they are!




The black Roses Brooch was hard to photograph. I tried everything all day long: every window, lamps, by the front door in the am sun, at the dining table in the afternoon sun... This was the best I could get!
