Vintage Gardening Tools Brooch Plastics A tiny vintage tin parrot

A tiny vintage tin parrot from Japan has been reinvented into a stylish and colourful brooch

We have given it some TLC by backing it and edging with cream seed beads

and cream hand-made buttons

There is a spade, rake, hoe, fork, shears and a little watering can. They are surrounded by hand embroidered flowers and a pretty handbeaded edging. The brooch is the perfect accessory for all the horticultural lovers out there.
