sweet & fresh...
This gorgeous little flower girl brooch has been handcrafted and recycled
from old, discarded, unwanted dessert spoon found in a local charity
shop. Many items of cutlery like this one are completely unwanted and
staff at the charity shops are usually delighted to see the back of
them! As 'lost', single items of cutlery sets, there is just no real
market for them. So why not make a lovely use for them!
A beautiful
little design with the fun of knowing its previous life. To create the
brooch I do the design, then drill several holes into the areas i want
to remove. These sections are pierced away with a small jewellers hand
saw (see workshop page). After all the drilling and delicate cutting
has been completed I simple finish the brooch with some filing, polishing
and a security brooch fitting. The end result is quite pleasing.
