Floral Brooches
More florals, yes, I know. I'm stuck on flowers right now - and thoroughly enjoying it, so it must be a good thing. :) They're all a bit different. Some may resemble real flowers from our gardens, others are just my interpretation of what a flower could be. The colors are all mine. This first set shows 3 very different pieces. All but the yellow/coral piece are pin/pendant convertibles. I like the idea of giving someone the flexibility of wearing a piece as a necklace or a brooch. This just creates a lot more options.
The next piece reminds me of gladiolus. Given all the colors they come in, I figured my mix probably exists "out there" somewhere. This piece originally was supposed to be an off-center necklace, but the wire I was using was too soft to handle the weight of the clay. So, the piece became a pin. I'll try my idea again when I find something less flexible for a base.
Here is another variation on a starburst I first tried a few weeks ago. For some reason, this particular design created with this particular cane almost looks like it's in motion. I really like this design.
Finally, here is another of my "special" triangular shaped flowers I developed one day while playing with petal shapes. The blends and fades from yellow to violet really makes this piece come alive.
