Frog Brooch - a photo on Flickriver

Frog Brooch

            This brooch is part of my Alexander Calder inspired collection I made for an Etsymetal Challenge (EMJC) which we had to create a piece inspired by him. Alexander Calder made many wire pieces, especially large brooches. Animals were, among other themes one of his favorites. I decided to make animals for the challenge because they are also a favorite theme and inspiration for me. This brooch is inspired by an actual frog I found and photographed in my garden last summer. Calder made his pieces with rivets and cold connections, but I made a few solder joins on critical areas to made the piece stronger and hammered it flat. 

Size: 1 1/2" wide by 2" high.
