Hand fabricated. 2012.
Childhood activities of sewing, knitting and crocheting have resulted in a passion for making and working directly with materials. This body of work introduced colour using oxidised silver and coloured silk thread, and it rekindled a childhood love of making with thread.
The silk thread is used to construct the form by ‘sewing’ tubes of silver together to create a lightweight graphic piece.
Geometric brooch was chosen to mark the 40th anniversary of Dazzle because it came from a collection of work which has not previously been exhibited with Dazzle.

Cleaning Instructions
The brooch should be wrapped in acid free tissue paper and kept in a box when not worn. DO NOT try to force or manipulate the brooch out of its shape. When handling and wearing take care to not catch or pull the silk thread.
The oxidised silver should not be rubbed with a cleaning cloth as this will remove the black colouring. This piece should not require any special cleaning if the above instructions are followed.
