Our handmade clay brooches are individually decorated using a technique which makes each piece unique. This piece can be used as a brooch or a shawl pin. It has a powerful magnet on the back and can be used through multiple layers of fabrics.
Before the pieces is fired, colorants are brushed on using a technique taught to me by my mother, Beth. My Mom was an accomplished Tole and decorative painter. Each piece is a different look, with no two pieces alike as shown in the photo. But the character of this piece, the scenery is create with a feather carbonized into onto the piece.
Using alternative techniques such as painting with feathers on pieces is a hallmark of LickinFlames. The piece takes several weeks to dry and then the finishing can take place. When the pieces are removed from the kiln and cooled, each is washed, dried and an appropriate magnets are attached to finish the piece.
And just before it's sent to you, the piece is packaged in it's own gift box.

Remember that because of the handmade nature of the piece, some variations should be expected. Even though we carefully fire each piece in the same manner, variation occurs and gives unique qualities to the piece. The quality is always the same standard that LickinFlames is known for, but some variations in color, design element placement and decoration patterns needs to be allowed. We know you will love the piece that is shipped. But in case you don't we cover your satisfaction with our return policy.
