Mercedes Scott hosted the fabric rosette swap at Bird Song 2013. As a swap participant, we were to create a fabric rosette
brooch and include a vintage bird
pin on it.
Beautiful Mercedes by the beautifully wrapped rosettes
Mercedes offered a creative way to exchange the rosettes. She made a lovely keepsake bird tag with a matching card. She randomly handed out the cards, the participants then matched their card to the bird tag on the wrapped rosette package.
Here is the bird tag & card I received along with my wrapped rosette swap
The lovely rosette I received was from Lindy. It was wrapped in two vintage hankies, and included vintage millinery as well as a Victorian era reverse carved glass & reverse-painted rose pin
Inside was Lindy's handmade GORGEOUS silk rosette and a sterling silver bird pin with a garnet eye!
I love every thought, every stitch, every little bit of Lindy's heart that she put into her rosette swap! Thank you Lindy!
Here are the other rosettes... every one of them was different and uniquely beautiful
This cream on cream rosette was my creation.
Lindy & me after I received her amazing rosette
Aren't these rosettes amazingly beautiful?
