Ladybug & Bloodroot Leaf Brooch
Ladybug & Bloodroot Leaf Brooch
$280.00
This brooch was made in 2024 and features a ladybug sitting on a bloodroot leaf.
The ladybug was created in copper with fine silver fused spots and a traditional Japanese patina called “hido”. The bloodroot leaf texture is also inspired from Japanese metalwork- specifically a dotted texture commonly seen in tsuba (sword guards). My version of this texture is a little different, with larger, flat concentric circles. The leaf is made in fine silver with sterling silver hardware on the reverse.
The brooch can be converted into a pendant but needs a very thin chain to prevent catching.
Size: 36 x 40 mm (about 1.5 inches)
