Forget-me-not Brooch

Following on from the i-cord flower post of yesterday, I made a forget-me-not brooch today.
I knitted two stems from i-cord, one slightly longer than the other, then attached these to the back of the flowers. I knotted the stems and arranged the flowers. I can either attach the blooms directly to a garment or back the flowers with felt and sew on a pin.

Zip It!

I bought a selection of long colourful zips, with metal teeth, from a variety of charity shops/thrift stores. I've seen jewellery made from zips and wanted to have a play! I'm pleased with how the flowers turned out, I think they make interesting blooms!
