About this item
Collectable Commemorative Rosette for Women - Purple, green and white brooch. I made a small edition of large rosettes to make 100 years of the women's right to vote in 2018 in Britain. Using the colours of the suffrage movement, I created 19 brooches from wire reclaimed from televisions and bought wire backed with plastic from packaging. For more information on the history of the suffrage movement in the UK https://www.bl.uk/votes-for-women/articles/suffragists-and-suffragettes. Supplied on a commemorative card with acid green envelope, in a sturdy pink gift box and information card. All the outer packaging is reused and postage and packing is included. UK only.

Made in Wirral by me, Alison Bailey Smith. I trained as a jeweller in Edinburgh in the 80s and 90s and have been recycling since then, in different places all round the world. I am now back in the UK and recently acquired wires from lots of old televisions so am having great fun with new colours.My work is definitely a by-product of the 21st century & I have been described as a 'techno -cannibal' by BBC journalist Clare English. My career has spanned 3 decades and three different countries since leaving Edinburgh College of Art in 1990. The motivation behind my work comes from being the child of post war parents, Scottish thriftiness and an avid watcher of Blue Peter (yes, I have a badge)! I am keen to re-use, re-develop and re-create in my home and in my business. SF 13/18 10.5 cm x 8.5cm
