The little faces are painted in enamel onto old copper half pence coins from the early 1970s. I fire them at about 850 C using a gas torch rather than a kiln which means I can make one or two at a time rather than having to make enough to fill a kiln.

The brooch setting is fabricated in copper and will either be stamped to create a texture or engraved or both. the pin is a double stainless steel pin and as it is quite short can be fiddly but once it is on it is very secure.

I have been thinking about making these for a long time, which is a large part of the fun of making things and I’m very pleased with how they make me feel. There is a definitely a part of Max from Where the Wild things are in there, and a bit of Little Red Riding Hood.

they are aproximately 2.2 by 3.3cm :)

uk shipping is included in the price.
