I'm playing along with the My Creative Space meme today. Visit Kirsty's at Kootoyoo for more spacers or to play along yourself.
Something a bit different this week. I found some lovely crochet cotton in a gorgeous steel blue colour and purchased a tiny crochet hook to play around with it. After many disappointing attempts I finally chanced on a neat little circle and decided to try and make them into brooches.
Still interested in that mixed media combination with felt. Also, I wanted it to be more durable and yet look fab so I made a felt and linen cushion of sorts as the backing. I love that little peek of red thread coming through.. but it was utter laziness on my part, just using the first thread that came to hand ;)
Thanks to everyone for my lovely birthday wishes :)

I love it- it looks like felt origami! I love it!!!
I love it too. The steel grey is gorgeous. I love that colour. xo
Grey is the order of the day. I love the lazy bit of red too.
Oh this looks beautiful! the thread is very similar to Kirsty's crochet cotton today too! LOl
That colour is just beautiful, and i love the linen too!
lovely colors together ... geometric feel to it
Great combination of textures and colours. Lovely crocheting too.
Love the steely blue colour and your tini-tiny crochet stitches.
Lovely. I particularly love your brooches so nice to see more of them!
So beautiful. What lovely fine crochet and I agree - gorgeous colour!
I am the VERY worst at the matchy thread thing. Not helped by the penchant for only straight-ish sewing (embrace the wonk! embrace the first thread to hand!).
It even looks lovely from the back! I love the colour combination.
it's lovely ~ the circle is just perfect. it all looks so teeny tiny, I don't know how you do it
your work is incredibly neat + original.
+ i love it!

Happy, happy a few days late birthday! I hope it was fabulous! I love the colour of the tiny crochet. The brooch looks great.
love the brooch. it looks all cosy and wintery. probably the grey and the boucle look of the crochet
It's so little and dainty and delicate that it looks like it was made by fairies Kylie! And I think your, ahem, deliberate touch of red is perfect!
Happy belated birthday to you.
I dont knit or crochette, but I love brooches. Happy Belated birthday.
