This large brooch has been made using recycled Derwent colouring pencils.
We take the rejected pencils from thefactory and combine them together to make colourful blocks that we cut and shape by hand to create a unique and individual piece.
The hardwood used in this piece has been salvaged from a building site and was harvested in a time when people knew no better. Each piece is unique and the one you receive may differ slightly from the one in the picture.
Materials: recycled Derwent colouring pencils, reclaimed hardwood, silver coloured metal fastener.
Size: 5 cm x 3.2 cm approx.

Lidia and Paul are Zincwhite, an upcycling project based in Huddersfield. Combining our fine art and architecture backgrounds along with our passion for environmental issues, we design and handcraft jewellery and fashion accessories from waste materials.
We use recycled Derwent colouring pencils for our colourful range of jewellery. Cufflinks, rings, earrings and hairclips are also upcycled from vintage typewriter components, bags are reconstructed from shirts and coffee sacks, bracelets are reworked from broken camera lenses and necklaces are created from trashed artist’s paintbrushes.
