Mum is working on some Liberty brooches using vintage earrings and peacock feathers at the moment and they're looking fab. She's there, with her glasses on the end of her nose stitching the brooch back on the most glitzy one now.
Brooches are made unique so no two are the same, even if the same fabric is used. Roses are handmade using silk ribbon (which she has done for over 30 years now, so its a pretty fine art) and all fabrics are painstakingly chosen to fit in with the ethos of staying true to a true vintage look and feel.
Mum's love of colour and fabrics has meant all of her crafts, including tissue boxes, picture frames and collages are truly gorgeous. I can say this now but I never appreciated how skilled she was as I was growing up.
