Label copy

In this brooch Aurélie Guillaume uses the technique of cloisonné sparingly, but to great effect. She drew lines in wire to create an animated and heartful facial expression—a nod to her background in illustration. To create an additional layer of texture, she fused tiny clear glass beads onto the surface of the enamel.
