"We must be clear that when it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections."

Niels Henrik David Bohr (1885-1962) Danish physicist. He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922 for his contributions which were essential to modern understandings of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.

Wear this burst of colour and style on your lab coat and impress all of your fellow scientists/ lab buddies with your love of atomic chemistry. Or... if you’re not in possession of a lab coat, it’s light enough to wear on your cardigan or jacket.

I felted the emmm nucleus of this brooch from a lawn green merino wool, firmly stitched on the top two electrons and used my special sewing ability to let the lower electron swing, jingle or orbit as you move.

There's a red version here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77520587/red-cinnamon-and-spice-modernist-brooch
And a blue version here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77525879/super-cool-blue-modernist-brooch-blue

**Vital statistics:
The Atomic brooch is approx. 7cm/ 2 ¾ inches long including the dangling lower ball and 4cm or roughly 1 ½ inches wide at its widest point.
It has a pin back and a tag so the other analysts will be able to get one too!

** This brooch is ready to ship.

** Because I know this will be a treat - either for yourself of some else - it comes wrapped as a treat in a lovely kraft paper box with a drawing of the brooch on the front and the brooch care instructions inside.
