Trying hard

Still trying to get it right, some success but some failures but am starting to understand some things.
The photos show some of the bits and pieces I have collected over a long long time. I have many many brooches, neaklaces and earings, nearly all bought at Boot fairs or Flea markets. If they get broken then I can often use them on my dolls or collages. The silk flowers I love to have, sometimes I use one or two on a hat but other wise they may be in a bowl or just about.
