I mentioned before that making pears small enough for 1/12 scale was a challenge. With some practice I was able to gauge just the right amount of wool to roll into the right-sized bead; but to get to that point I first made a few pear-shaped beads that were a bit too big.
These three were all about the same size so I gave them the finishing touches and made them into a brooch to wear to the opening. I sliced part of their backs off so there would be a good flat surface there, and used my new hot glue gun to stick them to the backing (a piece of plastic cut from an ice cream container, covered in black fabric).

Like three pears in a pod. :) Ingenious.
Lovely brooch! I can't believe those pears are the *big* ones.
That is so cute. I like the little fuzzy pears.
Now imagine them as peas in a pod, felted and on a brooch ....
I saw these today and it reminded me of your stuff so i thought i'd pop over and see what's new here. http://evencleveland.blogspot.com/2008/11/nuts.html
I love this brooch. Good to see you're still pearing it up. I still love my 'urchin?' bowl btw.
