Beaded pin for March...........

Here's the latest beaded pin/brooch finally finished just in the nick of time to meet the March 31 deadline! On one of my online groups, we are challenging ourselves to bead a 2" square every month of the year.......the idea being that by Christmas we'll have finished at least 11 little pieces of beaded jewelry for selling or gifting! This one was hard to work on, for some reason; I think because I had three other deadlines looming. The pink felt background you see will be turned under or trimmed away up to the beads and a backing piece of felt/fabric will be stitched on as well as a metal pin-back. The center button was in a Christmas gift to me, and I love it.........it looks to have been beaded itself with teeny-tiny beads, but it's actually painted to look that way. I used pink and yellow flower beads, and some teal glass leaves........all the colors of spring, which is coming on fast, thank God! Now to decide what theme/colors to bead my April square in....
hmmmmmm. Stay tuned!
