I've been wanting to make a felt brooch for a while. I always see flower ones which I like but I wanted to make something a little different. Lately, I’ve been on a real Enid kick. I’ve got another one of her bags coming to me in the mail.
Finding wool felt is not the simplest thing here. We have no Michael’s or any other type of craft superstore. I guess the closest thing is John Lewis on Oxford Street but, anyone who has been to Oxford Street knows that it’s a pretty maddening place to get to. This is mainly, because of the throngs of crowds that you must navigate through to get to the shop. In the end, the thought of John Lewis makes me just want to buy stuff online.
All that aside, there is a little craft shop up on Blackstock road near-ish to Finsbury Park. They have all kinds of yarn, buttons, knitting needles, findings and wool felt. I went there to get my felt. Then, after a few days of contemplation I decided that I would make an owl brooch based on one of Enid’s insanely cute designs. Whalla!:
I think a few more of these are in order. I’d really like a chicken one for myself!
