Ornate handmade pink and gold 'Seahorse' brooch by Jan Cooper

Enjoy this vintage-style and beautiful Seahorse brooch, using gold and lush pink gilded flowers to create the shape. Pulped paper and glue make the face, which is finely painted by Jan and coated with resin to give a porcelain-like look. Upcycled and recycled decorations make up the overall piece, and there's Jan's attention to detail with a great gold backing and the artist's name. 

The brooch  is 11cm tall.
