Ocean Series Brooches
This is a softly radiant, sculptural brooch that captures the delicate vitality of a sea anemone in bloom. Hand-woven from hundreds of seed and bugle beads, the form unfolds from a pale, luminous centre into gently curving tendrils that radiate outward, suggesting slow underwater movement and responsive life.
Subtle gradations of ivory, blush pink, and warm pearl tones create a sense of depth and translucency, while small accents of deep red at the tips of the tendrils introduce rhythm and pulse. The beadwork rises from the surface, giving the brooch a tactile, almost breathing presence, part flower, part organism.
At once fragile and resilient, Anemone invites close looking. Each bead reads like a cell of light; each connection speaks to balance, interdependence, and care. The brooch becomes a quiet meditation on marine life forms that are exquisitely sensitive to their environment, embodying both tenderness and endurance within the changing conditions of the ocean.
