Sometimes I like to let a piece of knitting emerge , i just knit whatever i fancy, casting on a random number of stitches and working them in a random unplanned way. I'm always curious to see what i end up with. I start with a vague idea of the shape, but nothing else. I mix different yarns to see what weight and texture I end up with. The only notion I had with this piece was that I wanted a crescent shape. Once i had made the piece of knitting I added vintage bridal lace, some vintage glass buttons, mother of pearl buttons, Swarovski crystals and pearls and some jewellery fragments. I added some Liberty fabric and used the print to inform the finished shape of the brooch. I worked the knitted fabric further with some freehand chain using a crochet hook and ended up with an abstract heart shape.
The finished piece looks just like the fragment of a flower, with Valentine's day approaching i am calling it the "Loves me" Corsage.
