Round The Bend

BROOCH (zinc-cast toy car, aerosol can top, jar lid, copper, base metal stud earring, brass, stainless steel)

 

Sometimes you get an object you just can't put down. It just talks to you from the bench, begging to be used. In this case, I had two. A bright toy car picked up at a boot sale, so yellow it could sing, and the top of an aerosol can found on one my walks, sporting the most gorgeous hues of rust and gold.

 

This is a piece that just simplifies the joy I find in making: the fun of materials, the ingenuity and problem solving, the story-telling.
