This 4" brooch, with a brushed brass fibula, has a flowered silk base cut from an antique kimono that sits on a beige silk shape. It is lavishly embellished with glass beads. A double layer of shibori silk edges the right side and tiny variegated crochet the other side. Silk waste thread covers the wire of the loops and a cluster of beaded wire is attached to the fibula's spring. Ultrasuede is stitched to the back.
