Homing Pigeon Brooch. Silver, steel, computer bearing.

This brooch trembles with the movements of the wearer. The birds are taken from sketches of Plate 169 'Homing Pigeon' in Eadweard Muybridge's 'Animals In Motion'. I used oxidised silver to distinguish the birds from doves, and kept the wires short so they tremble as opposed to swing, a more suitable form of movement for a small bird.
