Just listed a great new Brooch in our online store. The title of the brooch is Kleine Beer, (Little Bear) and is somewhat similar to Grote Beer.
The brooch is made of ebony, silver and rose wood.
The Kleine Beer Brooch is a design by my partner Jan Kerkstra. If you like more info about Kleine Beer please click overhere
And I think this will become the next brooch!
This beautiful wood storage is my new inspiration to make another brooch.
Last week I spend some time making the two outer sides. I sawed them out of a 30 year old piece of reddish cherrywood. Now I have to frame the two pieces in blackened Sterling. Still playing around with ideas about what material will be in the middle … will continue.

Another beauty! The rose wood looks amazing against the silver and ebony. The way the circle and the square’s edges blend is a lovely touch.

Thank you Lois, I will tell Jan!
This brooch is pretty difficult to make, so the comment you made about the blending edges is really appreciated …
