Woven and embroidered brooch
Reading various blogs my eye spotted an appealing woven brooch - and luckily my friend Erica gracefully responded to my enquiry by posting the full instructions on her blog Creative Dabbling. I found them to be very clear and easy to follow; and the weaving process felt quite meditative and so relaxing.
A small adaption was required – french knots served to enhance my loose weaving … next time I will know better.
Erica described the process as being pretty simple and could be applied to add texture to textile art and ATCs.
Do visit Erica’s blog Creative Dabbling -
to see her tutotial or just dabble amidst her creative ideas.

The French Knots add beautiful texture. I love the brooch you have made, Pamela!
the french knots are an interesting addition Pamela. Will you wear it at Forum? Speaking of which, i hope you’ve made yourself a very special name tag for Forum. K.

Fabulous!! Really like the different textures used. Now I just have to go off and visit the creative dabbling blog …
Gorgeous colours Pamela! I found Erica’s tutorial and just had to try it out too! (Found you from a link on Erica’s blog)
Don’t the varigated threads add lots of interest? I like how you used similar weight threads throughout… mmm might need to try that out.
I’m off to have a look around your blog now!

Thanks Sandy for you comments on my “Erica brooch”. I hope you enjoy trying this approach…it is very relaxing and great “handbag activity” when away from home.
Cheers, Pamela
