Pankhurst brooch
This measures two inches across so isn't as small as some of the pieces I have been working on lately.
The image is an ink jet print, sourced from the internet, and is covered with an acrylic dome. The outside edge is a quickly worked machine embroidery edge with an inner piece created from some melted silk. I have added French knots worked in metallic thread.
This is destined for the front cover of my sketch book which will be on display, together with my exhibition piece, at the NEC in Birmingham at the Sewing for Pleasure show from 15th March.
