HAND-MADE Artisan Lady With Flwers

Yvonne Hollingworth, along with her husband Mark, are Canadian and international artists whose work spans mixed media, painting and wearable art. Their work features miniature painted, fired and enameled elements mounted onto antique and vintage jewelry. Many years ago, Yvonne and Mark inherited a warehouse filled with thousands of pieces of antique and vintage jewelry of all kinds.....necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pins, rings, etc. Using this stroke of good luck, they went to work. They took different parts from various pieces of the antique/vintage jewelry and used them to recreate new pieces that were unique and one-of-a-kind. They also added their own elements like faces showing emotions and other pieces of original art. Owning one of their creations means that you will get to wear a piece of jewelry that was made from parts and pieces from several other pieces. Prepare to get noticed! MEASUREMENTS: 7/8" W X 2 1/2" H The artist created this pin/brooch from the parts of a few antique/vintage pieces of jewelry. The hand-painted face looks aged to give the impression of an antique doll. The two flowers with their smooth grey stones might have very well come off of a pair of earrings or a charm bracelet, and the base that the pieces sit on was most likely from a pin. *NOTE: This pin/brooch can also be worn as a necklace by attaching a silk cord to the bail on the back or sliding an omega through it (silk cord not included with purchase). Comes packed in a box
