Arches Draughts Piece Brooch by Leigh Shepherd

A quirky, upcycled, contemporary brooch created from a vintage wooden draughts piece.
This brooch has been handmade with Chiyogami paper, this is a Japanese silkscreen paper traditionally used in bookbinding and artwork. The ‘Arches’ is a stylised, modern take on a traditional fan design. The pattern is white and deep blue with copper highlights.
Vintage wooden draughts (checkers) pieces are used to create each brooch. These vintage tiles often have a lovely patina with the turned wood visible on the reverse. A layer of glossy resin gives the brooch a beautiful shine. A safety catch securely fastens the brooch to a favourite top, coat or bag.
The jewellery is handmade in Haworth, West Yorkshire. A pendant and earrings are available in this design.
As vintage draughts pieces are sourced slight variations in size occur, as a guide they are approximately 3.75 cm in diameter.
