The textured shape of an ivy leaf becomes a generously sized botanical brooch. Heat-shaped fabric gives it a delicate appearance while retaining its flexibility.
Created in Vikki Lafford Garside’s studio in Witney, Oxfordshire. Polyester fabric is layered, machine-embroidered, shaped with heat and hand painted. The edges are sealed to prevent fraying and help secure the stitching. Soft felt covers the reverse.
It sits beautifully on a blouse, dress, coat or hat for a botanical finishing touch.
Each piece is individually made; small variations in colour, stitching and painted detail are part of its character.
Details - Brooch: 7.5 cm × 7 cm. - Materials: polyester. - Fastening: 32 mm brooch pin with safety clasp.
Care Store flat or pinned somewhere safe and avoid high temperatures. If wet, lay flat and leave to air dry. The flexible leaves can be gently flattened or shaped by hand.
