AUGUST BROOCH Laminate, resin, oxidised silver, wood (wenge), steel pin. Large brooch: 81mm x 19mm x 15mm Small pin: 32mm x 16mm x 8mm • This month I revisited the technique I used for my March brooch - cutting tiny squares of laminate and setting them together in resin, this time a dark navy blue/black. I wanted to make a larger piece and then I kept sanding the shape until I was happy with the form. I felt it needed something more, so I cut it in two and added some wood. I ended up making a chunky pin out of the smaller piece, so two brooches this month! I love the brick-like layers and pattern as well as the rough wood paired with the smooth laminate. And for the first time this year it’s finished before the end of the month 🤸‍♂️ . . . #broochproject #contemporaryjewellery #brooch #pin #handmade #handcut #laminate #wood #oxidisedsilver #orange #pattern #pair #tja #arttowear #craftsmanship #materials #surface #design #maker

July brooch: wood, laminate, resin, oxidised silver and 9ct gold. 75mm x 47mm x 35mm • This brooch was made using offcuts and unused pieces from last month. I have layered different coloured woods and orange laminate together - I love the stripes, I had great sticky fun gluing (it reminded me of making mud pies in the garden as a child for some reason!). I glued them with blue resin, however, this doesn’t show up as much as I anticipated. It’s got a fairly rough surface finish as I didn’t want a completely perfect, shiny finish. . . . #contemporaryjewellery #broochproject #thisisabrooch #process #newwork #exploringideas #stripes #colour #wood #orange #laminate #handcut #handmade #craftsmanship #gold #dots #surface #materials #emilykidson
