Australian Magpie handcrafted brooch made from wood, resin & glitter acrylic with safety brooch pin.
About the Magpie:
What's not to love about the enchanting warbler that wins hearts all over the country.
Ok so they do get a bit antsy with some people who are too near their nests but on the whole these black & white beauties are very intelligent, quite tame and when they find a place they like they come back year after year and since they can live up to 30 years and remember people that's lots of visits you might be lucky enough to get.
Why Brooches ?
So it's a thing again right ! Brooches have come a long way since the Cameo your grandma used to wear. And a lot of people aren't getting their ears pierced these days...so...
Enter the modern era of the must-have accessory.
Yep - the BROOCH IS BACK baby and it's funkier than ever !
After quite a few enquiries in the shop as to whether we carry brooches, well let's just say "challenge accepted !"
I put on my design hat, and over the next few months created my own take on the once humble brooch, a range of beautiful, colourful and (if I don't say so myself) pretty stylish yet fun brooches featuring Australian Flora and Fauna (and a few other plants and animals that I couldn't resist).
And you know what...I have actually started wearing them myself and I must say I am starting to feel a bit naked without one.
The designs are cut on our own own laser cutter out of Australian made 'no-nasties' ply and locally sourced glitter acrylic. They are then handpainted, hand dome cast using Australian made plant based bio-resin. Then back inside for another paint on the back, brooch back pin attached and voila - a finished brooch.
