As much as the other Domestic Sluts are enamoured with Tatty Devine, I'll admit that I've never been much of a fan. Sure, it's fun to look at and a bit tongue in cheek but I like my jewellery delicate and sparkly. But then I saw this brooch.
Taken from a papercut designed by artist Rob Ryan, the brooch forms all the little lovely things that make up the pieces of the heart. It should be sickeningly schmaltzy, but when it involves 'mashed potato' and 'feeling myself fall asleep', it's actually rather charming.
But don't be fooled by the acrylic. This handmade brooch is a limited edition piece of 25 and made to order, so you'll need a few pounds stashed away if you plan on ordering it - £190 to be exact.
Gorgeous. I absolutely adore Rob Ryan and saw his small exhibition at the Tatty Devine shop near Brick Lane last year, so I'm really chuffed they've teamed up again. Looks like I'll have to inform my overdraft...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing in Tatty Devine. It's not new Charley, but it's be far their prettiest piece :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd the thing is, 'feeling myself fall asleep' does feel amazing. Rob Ryan is very clever.
