memory brooch




1 x 1 1/2 x 3/16"
I'm still working on an idea of a piece of memory jewellery to commemorate my Father. I have fabricated this small brooch out of 26 gauge copper sheet, glass and silver. It is a box frame with the photo of my Father as a toddler in the background and within the space are small hearts cut from a rose petal from my Dad's ceremony. On the back I've etched falling oak leaves into the copper. This is definitely the direction I want to take this piece, just a matter of a bit of tweaking and refining. The final piece will probably be in silver, although I LOVE the way the copper compliments the colour of the original photo. (apologises for the blurred photo!)
