A few posts ago, I showed you a photograph of a new brooch I had made. Now I have completed another version of the same brooch in completely different colours and was struck by how different the two pieces look. I thought that people might be interested in seeing the two together.
The first brooch I made in blue with green and purple
New version of the brooch in red and gold with salmon velvet appliqué
With its “cloud” motif, the design felt quite Chinese so this version is executed in overtly “chinese” colours, though I added some salmon velvet appliqué in the end just to give some more variety and richness.
The blue brooch being worn
I would love to hear any opinions on the design, or preferences between the two colour schemes!
They do look different. Both are beautiful.
They are beautiful. I see the embellishment as quite different. I like both of them and could use both of them depending on the clothes I would wear.
Absolutely nice design and colours, I do love both versions but for me personnally, the red and gold is the winner, my very light skintone needs something to brighten it up.
Thanks to all of you for making these comments.

My favourite is the blue brooch, stunning:-)
Both are truly gorgeous – any choice would depend on context – season, mood, clothing worn etc…
I honestly dont know which I prefer myself.
