Description
The spring-flowering buttercup, with its simple, five-petal flower and pretty, lobed leaves, makes a perfect subject for this spectacular goldwork brooch, worked with gilt and silver-plated purl threads.
Stitched onto silk organza, each petal is fashioned separately then wired and backed with gold leaf before being combined with others and a cluster of golden stamens to create each dainty bloom.
Wrapped with tissue paper, then silk ribbon, the flower stems are joined to the sparkling silver leaf and a brooch pin is added to create a wonderfully wearable, three-dimensional embroidery.
