A Mixed Media Lady Brooch named Miriam

I was asked recently by a customer at our fundraiser if I made brooches, and it daunted on me that I very seldom did. Anyhow, thought I would do some, and this is one I just finished yesterday. The main cabochon is again one of my mixed media art deco lady cabs which I painted on a white polymer clay base, added bits and pieces, then covered with resin. I just love making these cabs and have a little collection of them, so there'll probably be more of them coming in different names and forms. (Hope you're not sick of them by now.) The brass leaf was aged with Gilder's pastes. Miriam actually has shimmering golden eyeshadow (I used a little Twinkling H2O water colours) but I couldn't capture that in the photos. Hope you like her.

    Hi Caroline,
    Beautiful brooch, can see your different influences, they are such gentle, I see that you have a good tender heart, it feels, and these people are, unfortunately, little in the world, and it is sad, it kills their greed for money, losing your humanity / I know these people .!!!/, I'm glad you're with another, I wish you much health, Happy Easter for you and your loved ones,
    I greet,
