Some people like to express thought makeup, some through hair color, some through meticulously chosen outfits or fun prints on their clothes, but since minimalism has been in trend many are choosing to express their individuality through well-picked accessories. That might be a hat, a fun pair of shoes or perhaps a handbag, but what about brooches? Have you considered this option? It’s just a small detail but it can completely transform your outfit and show off your unique tastes and interests. Brooches used to be such a popular accessory in the past and it looks like they’re coming back, but in a transformed, modern way that is able to fit in with your style.
There are many different kinds of brooches out there to choose from but today we want to talk about brooches made by a Russian artist that goes by the name Fistashka.Art on Instagram. She has a truly unique style and generally makes embroidery or beaded brooches. Both kinds are generally quite colorful and incredibly detailed. They look almost as mini paintings that you can wear as an accessory. These are available for purchase on Etsy, so if you’re interested – you can find a link to the store in her Instagram bio. In the meantime, here are our favourite brooches that Fistashka.Art has made so far.
1. Get ready to see a lot of Van Gough brooches because it seems like it’s the artist’s favourite.
2. Frida is also heavily featured on her Instagram and we love every single version she’s done so far.
3. But she doesn’t shy away from pop culture references, so here’s baby Yoda.
4. More Frida, this time with added beads. We love the detail in this one and the bead placement works as a great way to accentuate certain features.
5. A girl with a pearl earring looks great as an embroidered brooch, it’s a wearable work of art now.
6. More Frida and Van Gough, with even more beads, added. You can really see the artist experimenting and growing and evolving on her Instagram with each brooch she does.
7. Here’s the latest version of the Joker, played by Joaquin Phoenix. Instantly recognizable, don’t you think?
8. More variations on Van Gogh and Frida Khalo. You can look at their self-portraits forever, so why wouldn’t you get multiple brooches of them too?
9. David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust is such an iconic look. We’ve seen t-shirts with this image, we’ve had pins, now you can get a brooch too.
10. Fistashka.Art also does embroidered brooches of artworks and just cute ones of food.
11. Can you recognize who these people are? It’s that famous photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
12. You can never have too much Van Gogh, that seems to be the artist’s philosophy and honestly, we agree with that.
13. We like to imagine this is what Mona Lisa would look like if Van Gogh painted her.
14. Even more Vang Gogh and some of his magical landscape paintings on the side.
15. And here are some famous movie characters. Yup that’s Forrest Gump and Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds.
