I've been busy doing lots of admin this weekend, and working on a custom order for a wedding that includes lots of crimson corsage brooches...... made from an old wool sweater and lots and lots and lots of black beads!
Oooh love those -red is my fave colour. Just wanted to let you know I've nominated you for the sunshine blog award...http://redbirdjewellery.blogspot.com/2010/02/sunshine-award.html
what a fabulous wedding momento. Much better than flowers that are dead a weak into married life. Or if you're like me never even make it home with you because you leave them in a sink in the loos at your reception. hey ho, if I did it all over again I'd be placing an order for sure. lush x
Thanks everyone! The sweater was an 100% wool one which I turned into felt (there are lots of tutorials online for how to do this if you're interested) - it makes lovely thick felt :)

Those look great. What a fantastic way to reuse the sweater.
They are so pretty! How did you manage to reuse your old sweater without it falling apart?
