Storm in a Teacup

Oh the drama of the Storm in the Teacup brooch - quite literally!

The storm cloud acrylic is beyond beautiful with a mix of shimmering hues; pinks, purples, blues and silvers. So subtle that the overall impression is simply of clouds! The kaleidoscope acrylic on the outside proves the old adage of, every cloud has a silver lining! The way it frames and hugs the cloud in rolling thunderous swirls is simply exquisite. And I just could not help myself (I muse), I had to add the rain rods for extra indulgence as well as linking the storm cloud to the cup.

Only the best iridescent acrylic has been used for the lightning bolts, allowing for a see-through lightning strike effect when worn. Only the subtest of movement is needed to light up these pieces and stun onlookers.

The Tall Ship on the tempest sea that spill over the rim of the cup speaks of rolling movement while equally being captured in time. The rain rods lend themselves to holding the two main pieces together and also allowing for the beautiful movement when held or worn. It's a fabulous quirky design.

There’s a real narrative to this brooch — It's fun, dramatic and elegant all at once. If ever there was wearable art!
