Cooper brooch


This is a new "hobby" for me..often completed as I watch TV or, even more often, while waiting for children or their sports activities to finish up!
This brooch is made from Lumiere painted Tyvex that was over-stitched with Superior Rainbows Trilobal Poly variegated thread; then heated. The center looks like antique 18k rose gold. The beaded embroidery was worked around the edges, there is a peyote stitched border wrapping around the edge. There are freshwater pearls, metal and glass beads. It has a pin back covered with moleskin. It measures aprox 1.5 inches across.
The brooch is available for sale for $65.00.
