'Cauliflower Cheese and Doilies' Brooch

Piece number two in the making. I actually finished most of this brooch yesterday but have not yet taken a photograph. Since this picture, I have rivetted lace tablecloth to the brooch. It just needs a good clean before the exhibition next week.

Brooch: Silver, tubing and Fabric.

This silver brooch is inspired by dinner time at my Nans house. The shape of the brooch is taken from the doilies and table cloths which my Nan would have decorated over every table in the house. I have textured the inner circular piece of silver, by hammering the metal to give it a fabric appearance. I have used rivets to attach a piece of fabric which was my Nan’s.
The brooch includes a handmade pin on the back and is light enough to wear on most fabrics.
