Yellow HappYness & Graduation

Moar brooches

Hi, I'm back again with some new creations.The pictures are horrible because I don't have my camera with me and I have to use the webcam instead, and the quality is really poor.I hope they give you an hint of what they are, and I will update the pictures as soon as I can grab a camera, promise.So, these are some rose-shaped tulle brooches I did using a tutorial I found on the amazing site [ BURDA STYLE ], and they're much better than the first...

It is very simple, two different stripes of tulle in two different colours and size.Please leave any comment, comments and critique are very much welcome here.yours sincerel...
