This year’s theme was Precious.
For me Precious stands for the wisdom, encouragement, advice and love I have received in my life that have made me who I am today. Each brooch gives shape to a feeling that I have with a loved one and the life and wisdom that came with them. By presenting the brooches together as a group on frames I want to strengthen the feeling and memories of my loved ones.
The brooches are made of Sterling silver, blue alabaster, peach selenite, cobalt serpentine, nickel silver and steel. I have grinded the stones by hand and made de stands out of oak and linen.
