birds nest fungi brooch

I've completed a new brooch, this one inspired by the tiny birds nest fungi.
A fanciful collection of bullion knots, french knots, and a few beads too.

The wool was some from a local shearer that I dyed in an autumnal mix of browns and rust.  The base is a piece of poplar branch that I dried so that the bark would remain in tact.  I love the bits of lichen attached to it.

A very earthy, natural piece.  If you know someone who shares that unique aesthetic, this piece is now available in my shop.

Enjoy your weekend!

I'm in love with your brooches! I was thinking I'd rather fancy a brooch to go with one of my outfits. I can't see one in your shop right now - but maybe soon they'll be another?
