Colorful Punch Needle Embroidered Anatomy Brooches

Punch Needle Brooches Toolbox

Slow crafter Hiné Mizushima recently discovered the technique of punch needle embroidery. After a bit of practice, she created a wonderful line of brooches and pins colorfully decorated with miniature organs from human anatomy. Like her other work, each piece is highly detailed and well-crafted.

I recently learned a new embroidery technique, punch needle. After a lot of experimentation, I’ve made three anatomical brooches!
