This gold, pearl and amethyst brooch features two particularly fine brilliant cut amethysts and nine seed pearls. It is Edwardian and with its Art Nouveau design, was made in the first decade of the twentieth century. It is very likely a brooch made for a suffragette, featuring two of the three universal suffrage colours of white and purple. It was possibly worn against something green as the representation of the final colour. Brooches and other jewellery like this was a subtle way for suffragettes to communicate their allegiance to the movement with one another.
(Private collection)
Edwardian jewellery is renowned for its delicate, beautifully crafted designs. In contrast to Victorian jewellery, many pieces created during the Art Nouveau period were made in a very feminine fashion, using finer smaller stones and very light settings made possible by using platinum.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 18th of March is “jewellery (selective colour)”. I decided to select the purple of the amethysts as my selective colour, and accentuated it to draw out some of the blues that were created in the stone created by the black velvet on which the brooch sits. I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

The theme for Looking Close…on Friday is Clothes Pegs. These are clothes clips that can hook over a railing, fence, or nail, so a clothesline is unnecessary. 💙❓❓
I pruned the roses back hard much earlier than usual this year, due to the wet summer and lots of mildew and other problems. I was rewarded with this bright winter rose. Floribunda ‘Friesia’

Today I am entering this moth that has been on our front porch wall for days now. I submitted this for the theme Small Animals with Wings for Looking Close …on Friday!
Some varieties of plum tree have very sharp spines or spikes on them particularly an American variety or if they have been originally grafted from a blackthorn root stock.
This plum tree in our garden just decided to die some years ago for no known reason. I keep it because the birds use it a a perch and I also hang bird feeders from it. Maybe one day I will dig it up?
For Looking close on Friday!, theme …..Needles.

Came across this brilliant Passion flower which seemed to have all the colors of the 🌈,framed by green leaves.
BOGART: "Hullo Jago."
JAGO: "Hullo Bogart."
BOGART: "Why are you sitting here alone, Jago? Are you sad?"
JAGO: "Oh no, Bogart, I'm very happy. How could I be sad when I have you, Paddy, Scout, Cousin Paddington and Daddy for my family? I love being here with you all."
BOGART: "Then why are you sitting here?"
JAGO: "Well, sometimes I just like to sit quietly on my own and daydream, or look for faeries in the garden."
BOGART: "Faeries, in our garden? Where?" *Excited.*
JAGO: "Well, I haven't seen one yet, but maybe today will be my lucky day."
BOGART: "May I look for faeries with you, Jago?"
JAGO: "Yes, of course you may, Bogart. Come. Sit on my lap and let's watch closely for faeries in the garden."
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 11th of March is “backside”. When I came across Bogart and Jago looking for faeries in the garden through the window, I thought their backsides would be perfect for the theme. I hope that you think so too, and that it makes you smile!
Jago is a recent addition to my ever-growing family. A gift from a dear friend in England, he is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes. He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him. He is already fitting in with everyone else very nicely.
Bogart has travelled all the way from Georgia, via Alabama as a gift to me from a friend. He has lovely Southern manners and seems to be a fun and gentle soul with an inquisitive nature.
