April Showers Bring Spring Flowers Corsage

This brooch is a sample from my Afternoon Tea Brooch pattern, created from a warm, soft pallet of velvet, ombre, hand dyed silk, vintage jacquard and French wire ribbons.

The base is made from a hand dyed vintage cotton velvet ribbon. Hand stitched flowers and leaves are made with various ribbon work techniques and are stitched into a pleasing vignette.

Seed beads, glass and novelty beads are interspersed throughout the flowers and leaves.
