Copper Safety Pin with Feathers

For quite awhile I've been admiring the delicate feathers being shown in jewelry & decorative fashion. They really are a fresh textural element in earrings & necklaces, so why not add them to a brooch? They are available in a seemingly endless array of colors & sizes. I have access to just a few types, but have decided I must have a wider selection to work with.

I think this pin will be great on a cowl or chunky handknit sweater.

Seasonal

October is wonderful. The air is fresh, the light is beautiful in the morning & late afternoon, and the leaves are all my favorite colors. I want to dwell on it for as long as it lasts.

O suns and skies and flowers of June,
