Abstract Bat Brooch Assemblage

Abstract Bat Brooch by Tree Pruitt

Whimsical assemblage art bat brooch made of upcycled materials including an antique sugar bowl handle as wings & a blue letter B. Being well balanced it hangs secure & tidy by a solid brass locking pin back. It is sized at 3" long by 2 1/4" wide.

I began with a thick carded board which was painted. I painted a wooden letter & added tiny collage paper accents. Black plastic mesh was glued to the board using very strong clear adhesive. Then the metal handle was wrapped with brass wire and onto the letter as well to attach the two. That then was glued that down. Other paint accents were added including metallic gold highlights. The pin back was reclaimed from an old pin, cleaned, sharpened, then glued on. The entire piece was then carefully varnished to ensure that it is sealed.
