Traveling Books (again)

Having played with collections of Bullion Knots I thought I could create a prototype broach idea using them. This is what I've sent on in my Travelling Book this month.

The fabric background is a little heavy for this which made the broach effect more bulky than I would like and I suspect I could have put the gathering thread a bit closer to the edge of the card template which would help to give a cleaner edge.

Working on a smaller scale this would also work for a large statement button on a plain garment and a collection of them in different sizes might make an interesting wall hanging! Such serendipity! What next I wonder......
