Day 55

Day 55's piece is this flower brooch pin. I made this using a page from an old book, coloured tissue paper and oxidised silver.

Day 46

So today I thought I'd try a similar piece to yesterday, but, hmmm... not too sure about this one! It doesn't have the 'Hey Presto' magic of yesterday for me, more 'Piff Paff Poof! It looks like a police chalk line around a body wearing dodgy pajamas!

Ah well, can't win 'em all

Oh, its a brooch pin by the way.

Day 36




.....and I'm back to plastic,
I can't help myself!

Today's piece is a brooch pin made from plastic and sterling silver. I used an old Victorian brooch design for the drawing, then added a tiny leaf design in sterling silver which acts as a gem and holds the pin to the back.
It has a wonderful ornate feel, but you lose a lot of the detail in the drawing when it shrinks down to this scale, I'll need to think bigger next time.

Day 17







A little green brooch pin is my item for today, made with the fabulous shrinking plastic of course, and sterling silver for the pin.

Day 7

Managed a whole week, hurray!!

I'm on a quest to get a new collection together, so my most recent items have run along a similar theme. I made this brooch to match the necklace from day 6.
