Here's another painted canvas and embroidered wearable-art brooch featuring a piece of my sea glass collection. This time I've used shades of purple and blue on a deep mulberry felt background to frame the piece.
I love these colours, and the different textures of the brushed paint on canvas, the delicateness of the stitching and soft richness of the felt. My favourite so far I think.
This particular brooch is now SOLD. Each brooch I make is unique. But if you would like me you something similar, please let me know.
I'm experimenting with different ways to make jewelry featuring the sea glass I collect from the beach. It seems obvious now, but till now, I hadn't thought of combining painted artwork and hand-stitched embroidery. So this is a first!
For this wearable art seaglass brooch I used acrylic paint on canvas, which I snipped to a random shape, then applied a cloudy white sea glass gem and embroidered in pink and blue cotton thread inspired by colours in the painting. I hand-stitched pink felt to the reverse with a safety fastener.
