Making a Beetle Droid (Brooch) // More Beading!

A beaded beetle bot brooch? Why not! Meet BT-11, my little droid beetle ready for reconnaissance and lockpicking, etc. Using the same techniques as I have been developing all year, and a mixture of sequins, rhinestones, wires, threads, and beads on felt, I spent a very full day making this little buddy. I want to make a crystal beetle next, but then I have a big bug project in the works that won't be a brooch, but you'll have to wait for that one! It looks like General Bead are currently temporarily closed!? Hopefully they come back! Pin Backs: https://www.etsy.com/listing/64450755... Music and Sound Effects from Epidemic Sound.

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
