Brooches

The Hare And The Fox

The fox lay still by the birch-tree's root
In the heather.
The hare was running with nimble foot
O'er the heather.
Was ever brighter a sunshine-day,
Before, behind me, and every way,
O'er the heather!

The fox laughed low by the birch-tree's root
In the heather.
The hare was running with daring foot
O'er the heather.

The first in my new series of arctic animal jewellery. So lovely for a winter coat.

The bird collector No 002 is a large statement brooch to add some high Victorian drama to one's wardrobe. At roughly 4 1/4 inches long and 3 1/4 inches wide (sans chain) these are not to be trifled with.

The black acrylic frames are designed by me so you won't find them anywhere else. Set in the frame is a beautifully detailed wooden bird courtesy of the oh so gutsy Scott of the Pork Chop Show. The brooch is finished with black chain, vintage soft plastic flowers and vintage buttons.

This brooch is based on a pale lilac and canary yellow colour scheme........

Loyalty, fidelity and hope. Swallow tattoos have plenty of interpretations:
Sailors often had them because when they saw a swallow on the horizon it would mean they were near land. Others say that the swallows would lift their souls from the sea if they were to drown. Some landlubbers would say that a swallow tattoo is a sign of having "done bird" or completed a stint in prison.

You don't need to be tough to wear these beauties though........
