Fleur - A Brooch by Lynne Moncrieff
00:00
This
week I am sharing another project featuring one of Donna’s stamps, this time to
make a brooch.
Supplies
Old
Rolling Pin
Brooch
Pin Back
Button
Cotton
Thread
E6000
Glue or Gel Medium
Fabric
Stiffener
Vintage
Doily
Instructions
Roll
paperclay to required thickness. Ink up
flower and stamp into the paperclay. Create marks around the flower, I used the edge of an acrylic stamping
block. Leave to dry.
When
dry, paint the flower, background, edges and rear. Apply varnish. Embellish flower centre with old button. At this
stage you could adhere a brooch pin to the back of the piece or as I did … cut
motif from vintage doily and following manufacturer’s instructions, apply
fabric stiffener.
Once dry, adhere to
rear of paperclay piece and finally adhere a brooch pin (I had to pin it
slightly off centre at the back as the paperclay shape was irregular)
Until
next time
Wishes
Lynne

Really love this brooch and another wonderful idea for paperclay, thank you! xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and funny idea ,to use Donna`s pretty flower stamp, to create a brooch, dear Lynne. Love the rustic look, you created with the form of the brooch and the heaviness of the doily. Maybe I`m right that you used the backside of the button ? I always do that, with that kind of buttons,-aslooking much prettier than the front ,lol. You always find new ways of using stamps, and clay,- so wonderful. xx
