I love the simpicity and elegance of black. I call it my instant wardrobe fix. In days that I don't really know what to wear, I just throw in my old reliable black shirt dress. Add accessories here and there, voila! A new, reinvigorated me.
Black is the inspiration for my latest line of floral brooches. They are made from vintage cloth scraps, modern lace, buttons, etc. The rose brooch on the left side is done using various ways. The main (bigger) petal is made of black lace that covers a silver cloth scrap. The smaller petal is made of twisted cloth in silver and black stripes. The pollen is a vintage crystal button. The floral brooch on the right side is another thing. The bigger petal came from a black sequined headband, and the little glittery petals from a shoelace which I twisted and rolled then sew together. The pollen came from a vintage button. It took me me 30 mins. to finish one brooch, equivalent to one coffee break for me!
This Black Rose Brooch can be worn in any ways. Think Michelle Obama and her stylish brooch! Use it to accentuate your belt, bag, purse. Ideas are limitless.
