Cardinal on a Branch Brooch

A little cardinal perched on a zipper branch. This brooch is made from hand knit Noro Kureyon wool and then carefully hand-felted. Wrapped with high-quality brass zipper sourced from Montreal, it is further embellished with repurposed rhinestones and a brass finding. Light to medium in weight and firm, this brooch is a charming, durable accent for your lapel or bag.
