Beaded Brooches

Last week I mentioned I have been having fun learning to assemble retro sty brooches.

Here are a few of my first projects.

My beading stash has grown a fair bit over the last five years.

I am using this exercise as an opportunity to use up unusual beads I picked up in my travels.

The best part about these brooches is that I can also use up leftover beads from current works.

Loving this style of hand sewing and jewelry assembly.
