Description
Wear this green foil bead bee with a smile, because, when you do, those who notice it will not be able to resist smiling, too. It’s off-beat, quirky, and fun.
The body is a 13mm green foil bead with an 8mm freshwater pearl for the head, and has been fashioned using 14kt gold-filled wire (also known as rolled gold). Although it’s not anatomically correct (this bee has only four legs), it will have a lot of admirers whereever you go.
The brooch is approximately 32mm long and is about 28mm from wingtip to wingtip. The pin for the brooch is a handmade 14kt gold-filled wire pin running the length of the bee which has been fashioned in gold-filled wire.
It’s a great, fun piece, that everybody will enjoy showing off.
The technique of wire-wrapping is not new – it dates back to the early Egyptians. Wire-wrapping uses no solder or glues, the wire ends being neatly hidden away wherever possible. Because it is handmade with few tools and no machines, it is a one-off. Although there may be similar pieces, it is virtually impossible for me to repeat a pattern exactly because of the very nature of wire-wrapping.
It is also, by definition, imperfect but that’s part of the beauty.
When looking at the photos, be sure to also refer to the description for the colour, because computer monitors differ so much and can do strange things to colours.
