Hello lovelies,

it's been a while since I posted my brooch creations and it is definitely time for an update. 

In just one month I created so many brooches that I could also start with version two of some of them. Version two is the same design but with a better, at least that's what I hope, bead design and usage of rhinestones and pearls. 

Sailor Moon Brooches

Another brooch and another version two. This one already looks so much better than version one.

Version one and two (left and right). Left still looks clunky. Instead of pearls I used rhinestones and the rhinestone chain was cut to build crisp edges on the star. I don't like how it blends into the pink and I want a bigger gold chain so the star is more visible. Version three will come soon.

And this is already version three! It's much better than the other versions, again see below.

Left is the first version and right is the new version. The newer version only looks a bit wobbly because it has a pink on the back and the others don't. It's also fatter but smaller, I need to change that and I guess there will be a version four...

Pokemon brooches

This Pokeball is made with big pearls and just looks like an old 2D picture of a pokeball. But I like dthe project because it didn't take ages, compared to the other one.

Happy Pride

The next one is my favourite as it has the pride colours and is heart shaped. I also made a trans-pride heart a few months ago, see here.

The rest

Not to be mean to my other brooches but they don't really fall in a special category. They are forms which I thought were cute or would work with that style of bead and pearl embroidery. 

These are the sweet as candy collection. I absolutely love this technique of not being in a straight line and just sew anything I want onto the brooches. It's a bit chaotic but very fun. Usually I start with going from the largest beads to the smallest and fill in the gaps left with tiny beads.

No collection of mine would be done without a fleur de lis. I challenged myself to a colourway which was not previously done and that was the wonderful result.

This is is actually a shell but looks more like a fan. I did not blend in the pearls and it looks very weird. Not my best work but that is how I realized that I can also blend them and I guess it helped me with the sakura blossom which came afterwards.
