Brooches, artworks and other things :)

I think I promised to do an update on my original artworks in my Etsy shop - oops, a bit later than I anticipated but . . . . :)

I love doing collage artwork with oddments of tweed in my fabric stash.  'Seagull on the Shore' was a lot of fun to make, from a scribbly drawing I'd made of an online image.  I love the iconic shape of this much maligned bird - I'm beginning to see it in a new light :)

A collage landscape seemed to be a natural direction - I hope to make a series of these original artworks.  I came up with the inspired title (NOT 😉!) "tweed outlook #1", mostly as I intend to make more on the same theme.  Just gives me a little leeway to make something creative without having to come up with a different title every time!  Here's a snippet  of the first in the series . . . 

Finally I've added some crochet brooches, to complete the knitwear/crochet pieces.  These will complement the cowls, scarves and wristwarmers I hope!, but will also jazz up a favourite coat or jacket . . . . 

I've embellished the brooches with little bronze coloured beads, like little drops of Hebridean rain 😉 (or maybe that should read dollops, which we're more familiar with!)  

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday wherever you are :)  We've got something called . . . . . I think it's 'sunshine'??!!  Have you heard of it? 😀  

Cheerio an drasda :)
