DESIGNED FOR LASTING BEAUTY
View broochThe birch bark is sealed with a transparent matte varnish that lets the natural beauty of birch shine through. A shimmering resin backing is both beautiful and strong. Bonus: this brooch also has a bail that allows you to add a chain and wear it as a pendant too!
MEET THE ARTIST
Patricia Flynn of Portland Maine. Artist, gardener, forager, forest dreamer. I harvest only small, choice bits from carefully selected specimens along my path. I generally cover 3-5 miles to fill a knapsack with just a few special pieces of bark that I deem suitable for jewelry.
"hunting for the perfect birch bark for jewelry takes a practiced eye, and may be my favorite part of the process."
MEET THE TREES
Paper Birch and Gray Birch, both native to the Maine woods, have classic white bark with endlessly fascinating markings and textures.
"no trees harmed, ever! I gather the bark selectively from fallen trees only."
