Buckle Bug Brooch - Chocolate

Description

Buckle Bug Brooches were born when red suede kitten realised she had a huge glut of fancy buckles and buttons waiting to be made into something, well... delightful.

These bugs are happy little creatures. Like the Felt Clouds they are colourful, odd little creations, and are ultra original too! Wearing a Buckle Bug will make you and others smile.

Each bug is unique and completely one-of-a-kind. They are made from plastic buckles and buttons (sometimes vintage, sometimes new and interesting) and layers of colourful felt and fabric.

They come in luscious colour combinations too.

Chocolate Buckle Bug comes in shades of brown, taupe, orange and grey. Her wings are made from layers of chocolate brown and taupe. Cocoa bug has a large body and tail made out of a piece of fabric in co-ordinating tones (brown/grey). He also has a tiny nose made of ochre and taupe felt. The buckle is a chocolate brown vintage plastic buckle with a faux woodgrain finish. Chocolate's eyes are made from a pair of textured, chocolate brown buttons. The brooch fastens with a sturdy pin on the back.

The dimensions of this bug are: approximately 7.5 cm or 3 inches long and 5.2 cm or 2 inches wide (at its extremities)

The last picture shows some of the other members of the Buckle Bug family sunbathing. Chocolate is not in this picture, but her brother, Cocoa Bug, is. This listing is for the Chocolate bug only - which is shown in pictures 1-3.
