Ornate sparkling 'Bug' upcycled handmade brooch by Jan Cooper

We love a bug! And especially one coated with fantastic sparkling jewels. The brooch is made using many different pieces, with legs make with wire and beads, for a totally unique piece of jewellery. Upcycled and recycled fabric with sparkling decorations make up the overall piece, and there's Jan's favourite gold backing along with her artist tag. 

The brooch is 9cm tall.
