Abigail Brown's Butterfly Brooches


I found the image of these cute butterfly brooches in the Embroidery magazine of March/April 2010. I think they're gorgeous. I think that they have been constructed with bits and scraps of fabric and have also been embroidered and stitched.

Looking on Abigail's website, I found out a little more about what she does. 
She works with fabric 'using it to give life to the little creatures that form in her mind'.
The fabrics she uses can be new or old as she loves the vibrancy of new fabrics and their bright colours but also the fact that the history of an old fabric can live on in the form of something new.
Abigail's work is mostly textile created animals as they inspire and interest her.
