AG in a Card Free Zone July I'd Wear That!

Time for a new challenge at The Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone and the optional theme is... I'd Wear That; of course, you can always play AG.    

I chose to make a Vintage Style Brooch out of some old jewelry pieces and a doily that had been in my stash for some time!  This would be a perfect piece on a fall/winter jacket, coat, or bulky sweater.  I'd personally wear it on a denim jacket, but I'd wear anything on a denim jacket!  ;)
