...And, of course, I had the urge to buy it immediately. (As you all probably do now!) But the large stack of felt by my desk said "Astrid, hey, how about you use me and try it yourself?" Oh, stack of felt, you never let me get away with anything! So I tried it. And it was hard. I still want Le Petit Cadeau's... but I'll have to wait until my birthday, maybe!
Not quite so classy as Le Petit's, but here are my attempts, modeled by Mr. Monkey and Fatty Mc Beaver:
Smile, Monkey!
Try not to look quite so gormless, Beaver.
I haven't bothered to find proper pin-backs for them, so I'm just using a regular pin! (It's on the back! Who will know?!)
And yes, well, now I'm pretty excited about brooches! Mine aren't for sale... (Monkey and Beaver would never part with them now!), but check out these other awesome brooches that are up for grabs:
Back Where You Belong Brooch, by tinatarnoff
My Kimono Brooch, by munieca
Armando Portrait Brooch by Utter Rubbish
So, get adorning those cardigans! (Or stuffed toys...!)

I love them all. But please try to take a more flattering photo of mrs beaver- she can look smart too! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the brooch love! Here's some back at ya! I love your moose - and your models are terrific. Guess I should get cracking on some new designs. I kind of took a break from felt during the summer - It's kind of hot to be handling all that wooly goodness right now. Thanks again - and good luck with your felt adventures/brooch making.
