My favorite pieces 1

I would like to show you one of my favorite pieces.

This is a brooch made by Ms Akiko Fukui, a knitter.

This piece was made as an Obidome for the Obidome exhibition, but I use it as a brooch. I think it matches my polka-dot clothes. The material is PVC wire.

Akiko said PVC wire is a bit nuisance material. If the temperature is high, it becomes too loose to knit, if it is low, it becomes too hard to knit.

When I asked her to make some buttons using PVC wire, it was in midsummer. I remember she said that she had to control her room temperature.
