space junk : - a little like the space above the planet where the Clangers lived, full of junk and debris (see YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HArUmqqiL0s for further enlightenment)

materials: ribbon, wool, eyelash yarn, picasso jasper, glass, found electrical components, wire

measures 2 inches (52mm) diameter

flotsam brooches are mixed media pieces using recycled/upcycled materials from my handcrafting exploits, outside sources and found objects.

they are based around recycled wire mesh discs (waste from manufacturing) and those annoying end pieces of wire on a spool which somehow aren't quite enough to use in a bigger project.

for each brooch a “project soup” of fibre, beads, objects and wire is assembled - then from the first stitch to the last wrap the assemblage is a completely random pattern of embroidery, darning, wiring, crochet and crimping.

add a pin on the back and it's ready to wear!
