Hand made, woven Shell Brooch- Sea of Wine

To the ancient Greeks, the sea was described as the colour of the wine.

It's because they shared the properties of mystery and depth.

With this piece, I played with this idea, choosing colours that evoke this idea.

Deep burgundy red, turquoise and soft blues intermixed with warm nude colours creating a whirlpool movement within the form.

Measuring: 8. 5 cm long and 7 cm wide.

4 cm diameter hand painted laser cut steel disc centre. 

Taking their cues from my large-scale sculptural work, these shell-like brooches are intricately hand-woven using micro macrame techniques.

Each brooch is a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable, handcrafted art.

Woven from a combination of high-quality fibres including silk, polyester and raffia.

Each piece features a hand-painted, laser-cut steel centre detail.

Colourfast and UV fade safe.

Superior quality 5-cm long brooch pin. No-snag sharply pointed stem and secure catch.
