Red/Animal Print Flocked Vinyl Record Flower Brooch

Description

"May, Queen of blossoms and fulfilling flowers, with what music shall we charm the hours?"

This brooch is part of my 'Vinyl is Dead' collection - the project I set myself was to make accessories and home wares out of recycled vinyl records - changing the purpose of the record and giving it a different or greater value.

The shape of the flower's leaves and petals have been sculpted free-hand using a rotary tool, the design is unique and cannot be repeated - so this piece is 100% bespoke - you will never see anyone wearing exactly the same piece.

The petals are flocked in a strong red colour.

The petals have been flocked with using an electrostatic flocking machine; this unusual technique dates back over 3000 years ago when the Chinese invented a prototype of flocking, nowadays it is rarely used in the production of modern jewellery.

The flock is done by applying fine particles to the adhesive coated surface using a high-voltage electric field.

The flowers is securely pinned on to a small brooch pin and finished off with a recycled animal print patterned button.

The brooch is presented in a box made from a recycled record sleeve which has been embroidered in a contracting colour and stuffed with protective tissue paper.

Thank you for looking x
