The familiar city pigeon becomes a characterful textile brooch. Layered fabrics lend this everyday bird a softer, sculptural quality, with detail to enjoy up close.
Created in Vikki Lafford Garside’s studio in Witney, Oxfordshire. Layers of fabric are machine embroidered and hand painted to build a three-dimensional effect. Soft felt backs the reverse and sealed edges help prevent fraying. The result is lightweight, soft and flexible.
It can be pinned to a favourite coat, cardigan, scarf or bag for a little bird-inspired detail.
Each piece is individually made; small variations in colour, stitching and painted detail are part of its character.
Details - Brooch length from head to tail: 7 cm. - Materials: polyester, felt. - Fastening: brooch pin. - Direction: facing left or facing right. - Packaging: 9 cm × 9 cm gift box.
