Textile Art Brooch - Portraits of the three graces - No 1 Aglaia

Description

Listed here is the first brooch of my 'Three Graces Series'
They were called the joyful ones, the charities, the goddesses of feasts & dance.
They were said to be the ever youthful companions and attendants to the goddess Aphrodite.

This one is Aglaia, meaning Splendor, Brilliant, Glory.
Her other attributes are: beauty and adornment.
She has a very regal expression and is beautifully detailed with swirles of bronze thread in her headdress and with an open frank expression.
I draw the faces using the sewing needle as a pencil, this takes a lot of skill and patience, in an effort to creat a unique expression for each portrait.

These little ladies are quite small but pack a lot of drama!
Measuring only 6.8x4.3cm approx.

Each brooch has a pin back fastner on the back.
Alternatively each may be framed, individually or as a grouping of three for maximum impact!
The last two photos show one of the other graces as a work in progress and another in a small box frame, this is just to give you an idea of size and show you how they may look.
