Brooch Time

March 30, 2011 · Filed under Crafts, Photography · Tagged jewelery, watches

When we were at the Balôn last month, we found a box full of old wrist watch faces selling for between €0.50 and €2.00 (for the ones that still contained part of the mechanism attached to the face). I spent almost an hour choosing the best ones, and last week made two brooches. Here they are, along with a few photos of the faces alone:

Great! What a fantastic idea! Over what did you attached the watch faces? What kind of brooch are you using? Love them!

Thanks Raul!
I used a thick grey felt for the white one and brown and orange to the bronze one. It is a safety pin with a flat side special for brooches.
