The Boy with the Golden Star - Brooch

The Story of The Boys with the Golden Stars 

- a Romanian Fairy Tale -

A herdsman had three daughters, and the youngest was the most beautiful. One day, the emperor rode by with attendants. The oldest said that if one married her, she would bake him a loaf of bread that would make him young and brave forever; the second, if one married her, she would make him a shirt that would protect him from any fight, even with a dragon, and against heat and water; the youngest, that she would bear twin sons with stars in their foreheads. The emperor married the youngest, and two of his friends the other two.

The emperor's stepmother had wanted him to marry her daughter and so hated his new wife. She got her brother to declare war on him, to get him away from her, and when the empress gave birth in his absence, took away the twins and killed them, then buried them in the corner of the garden and put puppies in their place. The emperor had to punish his wife to show what happened to those who deceived the emperor.

Two aspens grew from the grave, putting on years' growth in hours. The stepmother wanted to chop them down, but the emperor forbade it for a long time. Finally, she succeeded, on the condition that she had beds made from the wood, one for him and one for her. In the night, the beds began to talk to each other. The stepmother had two new beds made, identical, and burned the beds to ash. While they were burning, the two brightest sparks flew off and fell into the river. They became two golden fish. When the fishermen caught them, they wanted to take them alive to the emperor. The fish told them to instead let them swim in dew, and then dry out in the sun. When they did this, the fish were turned back into babies. They grew up in days.

Wearing lambskin caps that covered their hair and stars, they went to their father's castle and forced their way in. Despite their refusal to take off their caps, the emperor listened to their story. At the end, they took them off. The emperor executed his stepmother and took back his wife.

The Making of.....Small Cats Inspired Brooches

  

BLACK played with black lace and enjoyed 'rounding it up' into a circular shape. Still obsessed with creating brooches and pins, she decided to explore fabric along with the cameo casings. Lace forms the base layer of the brooch with crochet or printed paper as the second layer.  Right on top as a centre piece is the image cast in the cameo casing. Not sure if others would like it but BLACK sure does! These brooches and pins can indeed spice up your outfit or be used as embellishment on your everyday bag!

SOLD! Dual Length Unique Brass Owl Necklace - worn Long OR Short

Patch designed this unique and authentic brass owl necklace to be worn in 2 different ways – long OR short. She's getting really good at this. It’s not just the chain’s design that we’re excited about…It’s also the originality of the concept that we’re very eager to share !! :) 

The brass owl has movable parts, making it a very ‘lively’ pendant to wear. The black beads are specially designed and crafted to create an asymmetry look, giving this chain its unique appearance. 

In the above 3 pictures, you can see the necklace worn as i) a shorter version where the additional black beads hang comfortably on the right side of your chest when you wear it, ii) a longer version where the asymmetrical design sits on the left side of your torso and iii) looping the charm in place using a 'tear-drop' design just above the owl. 

The diagram illustrates how to hook the chain in order to wear the necklace (A) long or (B) short.
