One of a Kind
An experiment in color, pattern and form.
Ca. 2000-2005.
More images coming on Nov. 12.
Made with:
Oxidized sterling silver square castings which I soldered together into the structure you see.
Japanese glass cylinder seed beads.
Japanese gilt metal seed beads. Rare and costly back in the day, they went out of production long ago.
Nickel silver pin stem, catch and joint.
Weight:
Light to medium.
Dimensions:
About 2 3/4”w x 2 7/8” h x just over 1/8” d
Additional Information:
The pin stem runs from far right end of the red squares to the central tuquoise & bronze square. However, you can wear the brooch in several different color orientations, which is what I had in mind when I made the piece.
Use stopper (included) to help prevent loss. Simply insert the pin stem into the back of the fabric, slide the stopper an inch or more down onto the pin stem, bring the pin stem back to the front of the fabric, and close the catch. As far as I know, this is an old sorority sister trick. Apparently, they used pencil stoppers.
I will sign the brooch before shipping it.
