'HOPE IS THE THING'. Pin 4.
’Hope is the thing’. Pin Brooch.
70mm tall, 75mm wide and roughly 5mm deep (15mm including pin and back).
Brass and cotton with a sterling silver pin and back. WITH MOVING PARTS. As you can see from the above photo, the cotton feathers are sewn around the arms of the little character, which then move up and down.
Inspired by the Emily Dickinson poem, this brooch was originally intended to have wings/feathers. The first brooch in this mini series ended up going in a different direction (wingless, just a little, textured character), but I revisited this idea and have since added wings.
Ready to post; will be with you within 3 business days.
