    My friend made this for me from an old kid's toy. I especially like the K for Kangaroo she put in its eye!

    Looks annoyed about something.

    Anodised aluminium. Is there anything you can't do? Not to mention the gold tone base metal leaves.

    It takes just a brooch back and a hot glue gun to convert kitschy childhood memorabilia into kitschy self-adornment. That said, I did actually buy these two. They never fail to attract nostalgic "oh I had those when I was a kid!" comments.

    Lots and lots of Buba Owls here - http://www.french-bijoux.com/en/buba.asp French brooch from Lea Stein, Paris. Production recommenced in the 1990s. Apparently: "They are recognizable and desirable for their extraordinary colors, textures and patterns, derived from a painstaking hands-on lamination process, invented by Lea Stein and still used in contemporary jewelry. No two pieces are exactly alike; each is collectible, signed and referenced in various books."
