Here's a picture of a brooch I made recently for a competition (Ars Ornata - Inside Out), but it also counts towards my degree work (I'm in 2nd year and loving it!). It's a composite skeleton, essentially, and the pin and catch are formed by the hands (one of which is a bat's arm and the other is sort of human).

neat =)

That is fantastic! It looks more like a fossil or a sculpture than a brooch. I really love the fact that it isn't flat and looks so lightweight!

Thanks! I've been making slightly larger skeletons recently, so it was interesting to try and make something much smaller.

I know you posted this a while ago but I have to say this brooch kicks butt! Very very cool.

Thanks! He's probably my favourite piece that I've made. :)

He looks really familiar. Was he in a book or website or something? I swear I've seen it somewhere else before. He must be famous!

I made him up as I went along, more or less. Though he's just made up of different animal body parts, so maybe someone else has done something similar?
