Poinsettia Brooch

Poinsettia Brooch Christmas Flower Christmas Star Holiday Leather Craft Handmade Christmas Gift for Friends Gift for Her

Poinsettia is also known as the Christmas Star and Christmas Flower, it's said that poinsettias’ association with Christmas comes from a Mexican legend. The story goes that a child, with no means for a grander gift, gathered humble weeds from the side of the road to place at the church alter on Christmas Eve. As the congregation witnessed a Christmas miracle, the weeds turned into brilliant red and green flowers.

Named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, first United States ambassador to Mexico and the amateur botanist who introduced the plant to the U.S. in 1825, the poinsettia is also known as Mexican Flame Leaf, Winter Rose, Noche Buena and, in Turkey, Atakurk's Flower, because it was the favorite flower of Atakurk, the founder of modern Turkey.

While considered by the ancient Aztecs to be symbols of purity, in today's language of flowers, red, white or pink poinsettias, the December birth flower, symbolize good cheer and success and are said to bring wishes of mirth and celebration.

This very beautiful accessory will be a wonderful addition to your collection or will make a wonderful gift for someone like a third anniversary (leather).

I use natural materials like leather and gemstones along with wire to make my beautiful flowers.   Also, I use wire and velvet to give the leaves a nice form.   I use leather from USA, Turkey and Italy. 

If you would like something different than what you see here, please ask, I can make what you want, different colors and different flower etc.   

Every design is unique and can not be exactly duplicated. 

These are made from genuine leather and you must take care not to get wet.

This work is from my heart.  I make what makes me feel happy.  I hope it makes you smile too.
