{"product_id":"blue-glass-mushroom-brooch-blackened-copper","title":"Blue Glass Mushroom Brooch – Blackened Copper","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handcrafted mushroom brooch made from copper, pewter, steel and vivid cobalt-blue glass. The open botanical composition features three sculptural mushrooms rising above a large luminous glass element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mushrooms stand at different heights and have smooth, individually shaped conical caps without raised dots. Their long slender stems create the impression of delicate forest fungi growing upward from a mysterious blue pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large rounded glass element forms the glowing center of the brooch. It is surrounded by a textured setting of tiny metal spheres and pointed organic details that resemble shoots emerging from the forest floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo long curved metal lines pass across the front of the glass and end in smooth droplet-shaped forms near the base. They visually connect the upper botanical structure with the lower edge of the brooch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curling stem creates an open spiral near one of the smaller mushrooms. Other slender branches end in rounded droplets and one elongated seed-like bud, adding rhythm and movement to the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the lighting, background and viewing angle, the glass may appear bright cobalt blue, sapphire, ultramarine or a deeper midnight-blue shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe deep black finish emphasizes the smooth mushroom caps, fine stems and vivid glass. In direct light, subtle coppery and graphite reflections may appear along the polished edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite its expressive structure, the open spaces between the stems keep the brooch visually light. It can be worn on a jacket, coat, scarf, hat or another fabric suitable for a brooch pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe version shown in the photographs has three smooth mushroom caps without dots, cobalt-blue glass and a black finish. Raised mushroom dots, another available glass color, a custom brooch size or a silver-tone finish may be requested through personalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis brooch is designed as a small wearable botanical object, somewhere between jewelry, a natural memory and a personal symbol. Each component is shaped and finished by hand in my family workshop on the Baltic coast of Poland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design begins with impressions of slender mushrooms, curling forest shoots and fragments of blue light found among moss and woodland plants. I do not reproduce nature literally; I allow these observations to guide the material until a new form appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI do not usually begin with a finished sketch. The work grows intuitively during the making process — through the dialogue between hands, materials and feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem: One sculptural mushroom brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Copper, Glass, Pewter, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: black \/ cobalt blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrooch size: approx. 4.5 × 3 cm (1.8 × 1.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom quantity: three\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMushroom design: smooth conical caps without dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass element: one large rounded cobalt-blue glass element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical details: curved stems, one spiral, rounded droplets and an elongated bud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront details: two long curved lines ending in droplet-shaped forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass setting: textured border of small metal spheres and pointed organic details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastening: integrated brooch pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in Poland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs show three smooth mushrooms and one large blue glass element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metal is covered with black patina, carefully sanded and polished, then treated with an antioxidant finishing solution to help protect the surface and preserve its deep tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe glass is melted in a special kiln and individually shaped.
