Superb Fairy Wren handcrafted brooch made from wood, resin & glitter acrylic with safety brooch pin.

About the Sulphur Crested White Cockatoo:

These spectacular large parrots with their white plumage and yellow crest are certainly not going to win any singing competitions but they are a beautiful all the same.

They can live to 40 in the wild and tend to hang out in the same place all their lives often in VERY large packs.  They are mostly into seeds, berries & nuts and my gosh they have a loud screech !

Why Brooches ?

So it's a thing again right !  Brooches have come a long way since the Cameo your grandma used to wear.  And a lot of people aren't getting their ears pierced these days...so...

Enter the modern era of the must-have accessory.

Yep - the BROOCH IS BACK baby and it's funkier than ever !

After quite a few enquiries in the shop as to whether we carry brooches, well let's just say "challenge accepted !"

I put on my design hat, and over the next few months created my own take on the once humble brooch, a range of beautiful, colourful and (if I don't say so myself) pretty stylish yet fun brooches featuring Australian Flora and Fauna (and a few other plants and animals that I couldn't resist).

And you know what...I have actually started wearing them myself and I must say I am starting to feel a bit naked without one.  

The designs are cut on our own own laser cutter out of Australian made 'no-nasties' ply and locally sourced glitter acrylic.  They are then handpainted, hand dome cast using Australian made plant based bio-resin.  Then back inside for another paint on the back, brooch back pin attached and voila - a finished brooch.
