Women's Suffrage brooch
This bears the image of Teresa Billington-Grieg who was a Women's Social and Political Union organiser and founder of the Women's Freedom League.
I made it today because I am going to the NEC in Birmingham tomorrow to see the Stitching and Hobbycraft Show and I fancied wearing a new brooch.
Say hello if you see me about.!
The base is silk to which I have added the photocopy with PVA. I then covered the copy with gloss medium and then hand stitched through it at random. This was stretched over a padded piece of card and then I couched covered wire around the edges and added a few beads.
A very quick and scrappy piece, but i achieved what I set out to do which was have a new piece to wear tomorrow without using up a lot of time. It looks a lot better from a distance!
