Crocheted Brooches With Vintage Buttons

These are not the, over the top, unusual,  accessories that I typically make.

They are simple crocheted flower brooches embellished with vintage buttons.

Something that anyone could feel comfortable wearing.

I think they might look nice to dress up a jacket or maybe pin one on a cool weather scarf.

All were crocheted with lovely wool yarn and backed with recycled wool felt.

I love the antique glass button on this ivory one.

I think most of these will end up as gifts, but I'll probably keep at least one for myself .

I made a simple necklace as well.

I felted the wool beads myself. First I needle felted them and then followed that up with some wet felting.

There is a glass bead between each of the felted ones and the clasp is copper.

Once again, not my usual, over the top, kind of thing.

Perfect for Fall, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Crocheted Steampunk

I wasn't quite sure what to call this style, so I've decided on crocheted steampunk.

This necklace is titled

Do Not Disturb.

It has a ceramic face, some felted beads, an antique key, an antique leather button and 3 beautiful glass vintage buttons. It all comes together with a fine cotton crochet thread.

One of a kind.

Artwear.

Thanks for having a look.

I can't decide if I'm going to list this one or keep it for myself.

Thanks for stopping in.

Not Forgotten

Remembering a day long ago.

Playing on the beach while mom sat nearby.

Small bits of lace and buttons from her sundress and yours.

Some torn linen from the tablecloth where you had your picnic together.

Freshwater pearls from the shop on the boardwalk.

Time goes by so quickly.

It seems like only yesterday.

Hand stitched bits of antique linen and lace.

Antique and vintage buttons.

Freshwater pearls.

A vintage watch case altered to hold a little girls picture and a free moving pearl.

Remembering special moments.

They are Not Forgotten.

This one of a kind art wear necklace will be available for sale in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for stopping by.

Please take a minute to say hi while you're here.

Happy 4th of July weekend to you all.
