Description

Can't make Russian Dolls (Matryoshka to give them their proper name) without coming over all Kate Bush and singing "Babushka ya ya".... These little brooches morphed away from the traditional headscarf and headed towards the flower crowns, which turned into these big gold headdresses. They are happy, and so am I, and so, I hope, are you! Felt backed, their faces are all individually drawn, painted and stitched. The headdresses two - no two will be identical. A little piece of wearable textile art. PS: Apparently young Kate didn't know that the word actually meant Granny

  • Gorgeous little brooch and beautifully made. Not very wearable as a brooch unfortunately as the ears are just soft felt with no reinforcement so she ends up being very scrunched. I’ve attached her to a pinboard instead where she looks quite happy!
