The outrageous price of the brooch I inherited from my mother

brooch

This is a brooch made from wool felt that recreates the penguin’s soft, rounded form.

The steps are simple—press the felt into a mold and firm it up—so it should be approachable even for beginners.

The contrast between the body and face colors, and the crisp line at their boundary, are key to capturing a penguin-like look, so pay special attention to that area.

After that, attach the beak and eye parts, then fix a brooch pin to the back to finish.

With the wool’s gentle texture creating soft tones, it’s a piece that could fit nicely into a variety of settings.
