I was asked to make a few more wine inspired brooches. The brooches are a stylised bottle and a wine glass.

In my original design, I created a base design of a bottle on its side with a wine glass charm and embellished the design with wire curls. The wire curls are for attaching pens, openers and glasses. It has been ‘road tested’ and held up successfully under stress.

I love the way the wine glass charm turned out. It was made using twisted aluminium wire that was shaped and hammered.

The Blue Set

Each item has been embellished with a charm and the surface design is dotty. The hooks are made from copper as it is a stronger gauge than the wire used on my first design.
