Brooches

I had some big flat round beads. Some are from glass, some are from colored shell. And I thought to make some bead embroidered brooches.

 

First one is with red shell bead. I nested it with 8/0 and 9/0 seed beads. Then added two black glass leaves, round glass beads and some more seed beads. Backside is covered with black felt.

 

The other one is with bright orange shell bead. At first I thought I will use black and orange combination. But then I found those dark green glass leaves and decided to use orange-dark green color palette. And I like how it turned out.

 This brooch has dark grey felt on backside.
