Amazing Ribbon Animal Brooches by Ribbonesia
Tweet I’ve long been a fan of Japanese art and design. This new find of amazing animal brooches by Ribbonesia illustrates the reasons why. The designs are not only clever but beautifully and artistically put together. The founder of Ribbonesia is Sapporo-based Baku Maeda, who is a freelance illustrator. He needed a project for his “fiddling” fingers which had nothing to do with his living. After trying out a succession of hobbies including animal art made from electrical outlets and plugs, he settled on his unusual ribbon art. He developed a method of making animals from ribbons after a lot of experimentation. His explanation is quintessentially Japanese, “The secret was to create each animal with minimum elements. The simplicity was a key to its beauty.”

Brooches Get Funky With Help From Alex and Chloe!
Forget everything you know about brooches (ie: old-fashioned cameo pins and gaudy pearl-and-rhinestone creations from your grandmother’s jewelry box). Alex and Chloe is bringing them back into the limelight after being way underrated and misunderstood for so long in the grand scheme of jewelry pieces. After all, considering all these revisited jewelry trends like oversized cocktail rings, bib necklaces, and costume pearls, it was only a matter of time before the brooch got a modern makeover! In the edgy accessory brand’s Shadow and Light collection, the design duo reinvents brooches as quirky statement pieces that add an instant dose of personality to any outfit. In other words, these pins are no antique store rejects! Plus, they’re unisex and universally cool -.

Beautiful Blooms: Felt Flower Brooches from SeventySeventyOne
It’s definitely still wintertime up here in Minnesota (I can’t remember a time I’ve seen such a large amount of snow in one season!). While I was thinking of you cold weather brides in cardigans, I was also thinking a cover up shouldn’t prevent you from adorable accessories. Enter SeventySeventyOne , which has some adorable felt flower brooches that would be incredibly sweet on top of a button up, or even directly on top of a more casual dress. I’d love to see a bride coordinate these with their bridesmaids �C what if the bride wore one in the bridesmaids’ dress color, and the girls wore one in white? The flowers are available in multiple color ways, and SeventySeventyOne also offers them in other accessory types, as well. Images from SeventySeventyOne
