Behind the scenes I’ve been working on a little secret project. I signed up for gorgeous Susie’s Flower Press Brooch Swap not a hundred percent sure if I could do it justice but wanting to give it a try.
So here is my little friend all finished and napping peacefully in the grass. (As it turns out felt is pretty forgiving. Phew for that!) Sadly I can’t tell you who he’s for but I hope she loves him nearly as much as my girls do. I’m going to have to watch them like a hawk till he gets to the P.O. Now all I have to do is settle him into some super comfy packaging and off he goes to his new home.
If you are thinking of using felt for a project like this I recommend visiting Melissa at her beautiful blog Tiny Happy.
I found her brooch tutorial wonderfully helpful.
Visit Our Creative Spaces for lots of wonderful creative goodness. Make sure you’ve a cuppa in hand and some time up your sleeve, it’s hard to drag yourself away. Thanks Kirsty for setting up such a swanky new space!
What a gorgeous sweet little brooch… awwww! I really love the illustration too
It’s just … I don’t have words. It’s so perfectly executed, so sweet. The drawing is awesome, and the way you translated it into felt…!
Oh my gosh, he is so cute! I can see why you might have to keep your eyes on him – I am sure my 7 year would covet him as well!
Your foxy brooch is really lovely. I have a bit of a thing for foxes. He does look relaxed the little darling. Wouldn’t mind sleeping like that myself. Well done.
Oh this is completely & incredibly beautiful, just gorgeous work, love Posie
Wow….I love it. I wish I was your brooch swapping partner!
He’s lovely. What little or big girl wouldn’t be smitten.
Oh my he is adorable….you did an amazing job! Love<3
Oh Alisa, he is just too perfect! I love the way you’ve shaded him with different sized threads, I love the touches of white, and I love the glimpse at your process from sketch to brooch
I love your brooch! I love how you have been able to capture the drawing perfectly into your finished product. I’m loving your blog by the way- your work is beautiful, and your photos amazing.

sorry i’m a week late . . . this is really gorgeous!!
love the curled up shape
What a gorgeous brooch, it stood out a mile on the creative spaces page. Your swap partner is very very lucky!
so very sweet, love how you have used the white thread to create extra block of colour and texture.. a little curled up fox lends itself so well to the circle of a brooch.
Gorgeous Alisa, how sweet!
I can’t tell you how much I love the brooch you made – it is wonderful, amazing. The fox illustration is brilliant – can’t wait to see your etsy shop!
I can’t believe you worried about doing the project justice… this is stunning! x
