Brooches and Pins by Louise Compagnone
This is an inspirational and practical new title from a UK-based author. It is suitable for jewellery-makers of all ages and abilities, even the novice crafter on a budget. Set off your stylish new outfit with a fabulous hand-made brooch or surprise your friends and family members with a spectacular one-off piece as a gift. This fantastic new title in the inspirational "Magpie" series will show you how to make 20 eye-catching pieces, with clear step-by-step instructions and full-colour photographs to take the thinking out of making. From tape measure rosettes to Bakelite button cardigan clasps, these simple projects will teach you to cast, sew, knit, felt, bead, paint, print, engrave and invent your own darling brooches. Starting with an easy-to-follow techniques section and exploring a range of materials such as wood, ribbon, metal, ceramic, resin and found objects, the book will make you think 'outside the circle' when it comes to inventing your own brooches and pins.
Louise Compagnone's quirky handmade jewellery combines new, vintage and found materials and has been sold in boutiques around the world. Growing up in a remote town in Western Australia, shop-bought wasn't always an option so she learnt to make everything from patchwork quilts to her grandma's tomato sauce and most importantly, her own fun! Louise has worked as an editor and writer for nearly 10 years - covering topics including food, travel, fashion and music. She currently lives in Brighton, UK.
