Prayer Flag Brooches - First Mini Collection

Here is a preview of my first small collection of prayer flag brooches. They are somewhat inspired by the look of Buddhist flags, but are really more for imparting an inspiring word or wish.

They could be pinned to a jacket or handbag, or perhaps displayed near your desk at work to give you a reminder of a word to meditate on.

One of my online friends commented that they are like a medal that you could award someone, which I thought was a nice idea.


 "Courage" Prayer Flag Brooch




"Create Every Day" Prayer Flag Brooch

These textile brooches are all hand sewn with bead, button, charm and/or sequin embellishment. I am busy rust dyeing some fabric for the next batch, which may be little wall hangings rather than brooches. Watch this space!

Recommended Etsy Shop: TeensOriginals

I thought that I would share a recommended seller on Etsy. I recently bought this beautiful handmade shawl/scarf from Tina Appleby of TeensOriginals.


I wanted something to replace a rather tired pashmina, and was looking for something that would go with both a red coat and a grey coat, and this fits the bill perfectly. It will also be worn in the evenings to keep my shoulders warm, over Spring and Summer outfits.

Not only was the piece very reasonably priced, at £20, but it arrived quickly, beautifully packaged and included a little complimentary crocheted brooch. A highly recommended seller!

A few other items from Tina's shop that are still for sale!

Silver and Pink Hip Bag, £6.00

Poncho/capelet, £9.00
