"We had to believe in impossible things" says the intro to Ted Radio Hour and this I listen to a lot. More importantly I listen while I'm working. So today, I broke the capture for the pin back off of this brooch at the very last stage! So... a whole new back plate had to be made & I had to figure out how to attach it to the already finished & resined piece! I think it didn't just turn out nicely, I think it's 10 times better than the original design! In fact, I'll do it like this from now on... Believe in impossible things and be pleasantly surprised!

So, the story of this brooch begins with a little bird who built a house in a little town and she planted flowers and she takes it all with her everywhere she goes! It's all a part of who she is!
