A Brooch and a Pendant all rolled into one makes for a lot of fun to wear when you want a change.
Most of my brooches are created on a pin base which is attached in a vertical fashion. This makes it easy to pin on a jacket or a chain.
This brooch is attached to a bead sterling silver chain which creates a dramatic piece. You can use the pendant as a brooch and wear the sterling silver chain on it's own if you wish.
The pendant is a vintage button with two abstract looking ducks ready to take flight. The button is adorned with seed beads, Baltic Amber, Chardonnay recycled wine bottle bead along with other smaller glass beads. The focal bead is lampwork created from recycled Kahlua bottle glass which is encased with off-loom bead weaving using peyote stitch and size 11 seed beads.
This Kahlua Brooch is also on a sterling silver bead chain. It is adorned with a Vintage German Button, Fresh Water Pearls and other fun beads.
Both of these pieces are showing at Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery on Historical Whiskey Row.
