Nicola William's drawing of the kowhai -

Latest comment: Finn 22 August 2009

The Kowhai was beautifully made with a good finding on the back, but it needed to be worn on quite a thick garment, otherwise it would hang down on an angle towards the floor. I thought the effect of the light through the resin from the silver made it float, and made spectators enquire about what it was? I particularly liked the detail that only the wearer would see, as they put it on.

I was a little scared wearing this brooch, I kept on thinking that I would crack the pod- as it was only joined in two places.
