Friducha brooch or necklace
Designed and hand made by Australian textile artist Pearl Red Moon.
A whimsical brooch that can be worn on the front of a garment or pinned to a strip of fabric and worn as a necklace.
The brooch is backed with stiff cloth and zigzag stitched around the outer edge. A small black safety pin forms the naive style pin at the top.
The face image is printed on archival treated cotton cloth so it won't fade. It is sealed to be water resistant. The focal piece is 35mm(1 1/4") wide.
A variety of bead dangles and tiny metal talismans are stitched to the bottom edge falling approx 4cm(1 1/2") long.
Don't wash, soak or immerse the brooch in water. If necessary,it can be easily cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.
