You’ll start by cutting 2 circles from the piece of felt at approximately 2″ in diameter. Form the wires of your halo by molding and bending each piece into a half circle.

new wool landscape brooches

I've been working on just a few new brooches lately and wanted to give you a peek. These are all small needlefelted wool scenes fitted into bases that I make by hand. I was really liking how the cracks in this stump lined up with the leafless trees in this nighttime scene. This one has a teardrop shaped base made from an oak limb I brought in from the woods.
