Week 30 Pink Brooch


My mother has been asking me to make her a brooch. One of her favorite blouses has a stain on it and she wanted something to cover it :). I don't have any experiences with pins or brooches but this is what I came up with. A pink (my mothers favorite color) round brooch losely inspired on an old style of Dutch jewelry called a Zweeuwse Knop (knop means knot). I wanted it to look kinda classical. It is made with lots of wire, Freshwater Pearls, tiny faceted and round Rose Quarts and tiny silver beads. While I was making it it gave me lots more ideas how to use this technique for pendants and other jewelry so I'll be trying out more of it.
