A quirky pair of brooches which could ‘bee’ a great gift!

This little set of brooches is made by upcycling a domino and a draughts (checkers) piece. The bee and hive are printed from ink drawings, the bee is then hand painted before being finished with glossy resin which gives a lovely shine.

Vintage wooden draughts (checkers) pieces and dominoes are used to create each brooch. These vintage tiles often have a lovely patina with the turned / engraved wood visible on the reverse. A safety catches securely fasten the brooches to a favourite top, coat or bag. 

The jewellery is handmade in Haworth, West Yorkshire. A pendant and earrings are available in this design.
