    Brass and Antler Brooch

    Hey Gang,
    Am heading to the Stone Mountain Highland Games and to complete my new féile mhór, I fastened
    an auld brass bracelet and antler tip into an [antler tine].



    The brass took a bit of manipulating to get the correct shape, then I cut
    the antler to the right length and...wallah!



    BTW...this is my new tartan fabric that I just received in the Post: Shaw Modern Green.

    Cheers ith:

    No, that looks like an antler tine. Well done, Jonathan. Our consultation seems to have born fruit. I look forward to seeing the entire ensemble on Sunday.

    Actually, that is the same antler from a deer my Grandfather shot, from which I also made these:
