Brooches

These elaborate brooches are constructed from sixty four individual pieces and take the best part of a day to complete. As the pieces themselves are rather simple to fold, I can pretty much leave my hands on auto-pilot and allow my thoughts to wander for most of the process.
The brooches are folded from Japanese washi paper which comes in a wonderful variety of beautiful colours and patterns and is an absolute joy to work with. I love picking out which colours and patterns I think will complement and offset each other in a brooch.

I also make each brooch its own box.
