{"url":"https://folksy.com/items/8597064-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch","title":"Apple Core bead embroidered brooch","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","provider_name":"Folksy","description":"This hand embroidered apple core brooch is an original piece of bead embroidery artwork, carefully made by me in my Guernsey studio in the Channel Islands. I am a textile and mixed media artist with around twenty years of experience, and bead embroidery is something I return to again and again because I love its detail and quiet character.\r\n\r\nThe brooch shows the core of a green apple, with the outer skin stitched in green seed beads and the centre worked in soft off-white tones. Two small wooden beads sit in the middle to represent the seeds, adding a natural texture. At the top, the apple stalk is embroidered using bronze and brown beads for a subtle contrast. I enjoy working slowly and thoughtfully, letting each piece develop in its own way, so no two are ever exactly the same.\r\n\r\nThe finished brooch measures approximately 6 cm high and 4 cm wide. A metal brooch bar is securely attached to the back, making it easy to wear on clothing, coats, scarves or bags.\r\n\r\nThis beaded apple core brooch is a small, wearable artwork and would suit anyone who enjoys handmade jewellery, nature-inspired design or unusual textile accessories. It is made with care and attention, and I hope it brings a quiet smile to whoever wears it.","brand":"Hayley Mallett","product_id":8597064,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-09-24T05:49:57+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-644b201b-8051-4272-9e1c-0c9b848a15c9-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-c22e778f-87a5-4bb3-868c-9287f4cdb98e-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-8fe85d31-2e52-42ac-b485-22b47674eca7-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-f1d100d3-9d40-43d7-a80e-cae0f4101f6f-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-d82abae3-a82a-42ae-8c66-d731b94fa5da-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-64a8cca3-6e17-49d7-9fe2-5bad877a5f96-apple-core-bead-embroidered-brooch-hayley-mallett/public"]}
