Timeless Beauties

Beauty in the form of Hand Painted Brooches...

There's just something about the look of the hand painted brooch. I don't know what it is...perhaps the romance of the idea of its making and wearing. Can you picture one of these worn on the dress of a young woman, perhaps on a Sunday for Church? The eyes would immediately be drawn to the beauty of the piece. Perhaps the wearer was also the artist.
Oh, if I could only paint like that! I'd love to learn that art...painting beautiful china and jewelry.
Almost a lost art.


These are a few mosaics I've made of past posts. If you'd like to see the larger versions, please see my older posts for July.
I'm joining up with a few parties for Monday. Be sure and check them out to see all the beautiful blogs out there!!!

I've often envied those who can paint, Doni. These broaches with blue flowers are beautiful.

Wish I could stick my hand through the screen and pick through all that wonderful jewelry, especially the brooches so I could examine the painting on them.
Thanks for showing them again.
