flower brooch in flame with feathers

Description

flame flower brooch is decorated with peacock and hand stripped coque feathers! it makes a lovely hat decoration or hair adornment.

this little flower fades from a deep red to pink to orange at its centre. the flower is fashioned from french wire ribbon with an orange swarovski crystal surrounded by raspberry japanese delica glass beads. the flower itself measures about 2" (5cm) in diameter. the flower is adorned with black hand stripped coque feathers, and a tiny peacock feather that peeks up from the flower with its asymmetrical fringe. the feathers come about 5" (13 cm) from the flower. the feathers are glued to a backing and sewn on to the flower itself, so they are pretty sturdy, but they will not stand for being shut in a car door or chewed on by a pet cat. the flower is backed with a wool felt backing with a 1" (2.5 cm) bar pin sewn to the back. why a pin-back instead of a hair clip? because a pinback may be pinned in hair with bobby pins, and also versatile enough to pin to your hat or to close your shawl or on your shoulder, or otherwise attached to your garment.

please note that all piper ewan feathery flower brooches are one of a kind, and may be similarly, but not exactly duplicated. i am relegated to what is available to me through wholesale sources, ribbon mills and birds, so an exact match may be well near impossible. if you are unsure, and would like to send me a swatch to see how well it matches, you are welcome to do so at your own expense. all orders; especially feathers and special orders are a final sale, so please choose wisely. but all that said, i make my flowers as an art form that imitates real life, and in real life, flowers don't match, shouldn't be expected to match, and really work with all kinds of possibilities.
