A little surprise {ing}

Psssssst! I’m making something new for the sale. I haven’t said anything before now because I wasn’t sure these would work.

I’m making ceramic broaches that are adorned with found, rusted wire. Yes I am!

I am treating the wire to keep the patina on… and not rub off onto clothing. Since these are a test, I am not promising purchasers that there won’t be any offsetting. Time will tell.

This photo, taken by my collaborator Barbara who made these buttons, showcases the second of two batches she created. In my next post I’ll share a finished piece so you can get a better idea of these. I’m pretty jazzed about them!
