Victoria Anne Collections
Based on a contemporary Victorian Gothic theme, celebrating the lives of women in love and war, as such they are heart shaped, as hearts contain both aspects. They come in a black, red, white and grey theme, are personalized with small sayings or a short poem, hinting at a story or an imagery / backdrop. They are quite utilitarian whilst at the same time having intricate and delicate surface work. Each brooch is unique and I have made many different designs, sizes and versions of this collection.
Materials: Wool, lace, ribbons, threads, black safety pins, fabrics.
Price range: £14 - £35 (depending on size and materials)
Sizes: Measurements taken from longest side of heart shape. Sizes below vary and are an approximate, give or take 1-2 mm for lace and other embellishments.
Small – from 6cm x 8cm approx...

Large – from 8cm x 12cm approx..
