Fernbird embroidery brooch 3D Thread Sculpture.

This Fernbird embroidered brooch is totally handmade with love.

The fernbird is an endemic bird of New Zealand, uncommon to see, usually hiding in the wetlands particularly around alpine areas.  I have been lucky to photograph these secretive birds, whilst out hiking around Mount Ruapehu forests.

Each brooch is stitched completely by hand, using specialised techniques.  Every brooch is a unique design, and I only make one of each bird.

It is light weight, attached with a brooch pin on the back.

Handmade in New Zealand.
