About Copper Oak Leaf Brooch with Mosaic

This brooch is hand-made from an Australian natural oak leaf. Partly covered with slight shades of live patina reflecting natural ageing of copper. Amazing Italian glass mosaic ornaments this leaf. A hand-made crochet leaf and copper leaf supplement each other beautifully.

I use original leaves for this unique brooch, trying to save all details and imperfections. Covered with a thin layer of eco-friendly varnish for scratch-proofing and copper colour protection.
