Tulip Brooch

A pretty tulip for your lapel. This brooch was hand knit in Noro Kureyon wool and then carefully hand-felted. The flower is wrapped with a high-quality brass zipper sourced from Montreal, and further embellished with repurposed rhinestones and a brass finding at its center. Glass bugle beads accent the leaves and stem, adding extra texture and shine. Light to medium in weight, this brooch is firm and durable. A one-of-a-kind piece to brighten any outfit.
