Started looking at medals and militaria and decided to create my own take on them, still at beginning stages as still experimenting and waiting for inspiration to strike ....................

This one is made from an upcycled brooch piece and door handle which we have sprayed black.
As you can see the brooch finding is hand stitched to the reverse.
For this medal I have reset the stones in an upcycled brooch piece and used a cameo pendant. The fabric is a gorgous striped silk from an FCUK camisole top.
The fabric is handstitched to the inside of the broochpiece.
To make this medal I have used a vintage gentleman's tiebar and a flatterned piece of ornate bronze or oxidised copper.
As you can see the fabric is again stitched into the brooch componant.
