Alpaca Brooch Adorned With Beads

I found this Alpaca Fiber Alpaca at one of the "Spinning at the Winery" in Livermore, California sometime ago. The first week of June, the Retzlauff Winery opens it's doors to Spinning at The Winery which is a delight for spinners and wine lovers alike. Just picture over 100 spinning wheels, all unique and attended by their owners, in the grass with their wine glasses near by spinning to create the most precious yarn from exotic fiber.

This brooch was cute when I found it and now that I've added beads it's perfect. I love to find unique buttons and objects to adorn with beads.

Artist and Cooperative Member Vanessa Tamarin uses her own Diacroic Fused Glass for her wire work art.

Wikipedia defines Dichroic Glass:

Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected. This causes an array of color to be displayed. The colors shift depending on the angle of view. Dichroic glass is an example of thin-film optics.
