New brooch series

I've started making a few brooches I like to call Sugar Bunnies, because the patterns remind me of Day of the dead art from Mexico. I've also started doing some cute squares with rabbits and elephants, I think I'll start doing a veggie series too but for now here are some cool photos of my new stuff. xxoo

The machine is alive!!

Nah it's ok, I'm not going corporate, My sewing machine is in full swing, so I'm able to make more brooches with less callouses and pin wounds. I've started doing more rabbits, because the shapes are quite simple, and I'm making some huge brooches for those who want something a little different. I've started doing a bit of embroidery too, one big brooch is of a sparrow with green tinges on its feathers, these are going to be a little more expensive though because embroidery is time consuming and painful for the eyes and back. Also I keep forgetting to wear my glasses.
On another note...
I was looking through my photos of Europe and found some jewellery thats at the British museum, some gold earrings, including stretchers.
