70. Flower brooches,
enamel on copper, by Janet Haigh.
The embroiderer Janet Haigh, makes the most beautiful objects, and her enamel flower brooches, in a myriad of delicious colours, are irresistible. The enamel is fused onto copper and the small glass beads stitched into place with wire thread. The pleasure in owning and wearing these brooches is intensified by knowing that they have been made by a friend.
71. Heart badge,
enamel on copper, by Janet Haigh.
A firm fabric knot mends this broken heart. The significance of mending is an important theme in Janet's work, and this colourful little badge is very meaningful to me and to the friends for whom I have bought a similar heart.
Nice.
ReplyDeleteThe symbolism behind jewellery (especially Victorian) is fascinating, but it seems now to be lost.
