What is a Charity Brooch?

I make tiny house brooches, then I pick a favorite charity, usually something that helps kids, my community or the world. This year I have picked Thompson Education Foundation. Loveland has an interesting problem, voters who refuse to increase school funding! TEF helps fill the gap by identifying the needs of the teachers and filling those needs.

But, how do you get your hands on your very own, tiny, one-of-a-kind wearable sculpture? At 3PM on Tuesday, August 8th… go here: http://www.jcmilnermetalworks.com/shop and pick your favorite! Give one as a gift, keep one for yourself, hang one on the wall, or hang several on the wall in a row and make a neighborhood! You can have as many as you want!

Each house is a part of a larger mural. I cut them up and save the best parts with the best detail. I cut them on the band saw at Loveland Creator Space, sand them, seal them, and attach them to the black and white strips. The trees next to each house (the metal parts) are all steel. Each brooch has a pin back for wearability, but it’s been placed so that the brooch will hang from a nail on the wall just as easily. These can also be gifted and used as holiday ornaments!

Please share with friends! See you at 3PM Tuesday!
