Boxing Hares

[Tabby66]

Hi,
I thought I would show you a brooch I finished today - Boxing Hares - I would have liked to have made my own brooch pin and clasp and hence the previous question about pin wire




I ended up cutting the centre out of a bought pin and clasp.
Kind regards

Lovely piece, especially like the texturing on bellies and tails, is that engraved?

Well the main thing is that you succeeded, Jill. Somebody wiil be proud to wear you brooch. Dennis.

Thank you both. I enjoyed making them, they're for my sister in Law, "commissioned" by my father in law.

It's frosted Kwant with a small frosting wheel on my foredom.

Thanks, apparently Santa is bringing me a Foredom at Christmas I will have to get myself one of those frosting wheels as I currently achieve a similar effect using a rough point thing on my Dremmel but it takes ages.

My foredom was a present and I love it!

The frosting wheel is a great little attachment, not only can it hide the odd "blemish" but it gives a great finish - very quickly! Just hang onto whatever item your frosting, I still haven't found a finished silver number "24" which I had almost finished and thought "just that bit" and it flew off and remains unfound!! BTW - wear safety goggles ;-)
