Hand painted wooden magpie pin (laser cut brooch / badge)
The colours in this pin have a wow factor so I'm convinced that this would be a great gift for anyone - but especially so for a nature lover or bird fan.
I'm really pleased with this magpie brooch / pin / badge. Magpies are frequent visitors to the Badger Sett and I love how striking they - smart blocks of black and white with irridescent blue and green. I had to get experimental with paint to adequately reflect this - which I think I have achieved with super black paint and an irridescent additive to the green and black so the colours really shimmer.
He’s about 5.5cm wide and 3mm deep - so he’s not huge, but would make a cheerful statement on a jacket or bag. He’s cut from sustainable 3mm ply the edges have a sandwich effect.
It has been painted with acrylic paint and then has a light coating of non-yellowing varnish to ensure that colours stay bright. The varnish provides protection from damp and knocks (that said, it hasn't been designed for a soaking - so don't try sticking it in the washing machine). On the back there is a brooch clasp which is has been attached with super strong 2 part glue to keep things in place.
Because it's hand painted each magpie is just a little unique, so your magpie may vary a smidge from the one in the photo.
It's presented on a card in a small box - both of which are made from recycled card and it comes in plastic-
