For this piece, I started building from the center flower. My goal was to try a bouquet style. Arranging and rearranging different brooches and earrings until I found ones that worked well together; keeping with the black and silver color scheme. Then I walked away. I came back a few hours later to make sure I liked the placement, balance, and “white space” before gluing them down. I learned I need to get some tweezers for the tiny sections.
This frame is tiny. Only six square inches of usable space. This fish used to be an earring. Now it’s swimming in my little ocean scene complete with baby shell fragments. Perfect for any seaside/beach décor.
