About Butterfly سنجاق سینه

این قطعه هنری پوشیدنی دست ساز را می توان به عنوان اکسسوری پوشید یا حتی در خانه به نمایش گذاشت. با استفاده از یک تکنیک جدید گلدوزی سه بعدی دو طرفه، همان الگوی به طور همزمان در دو طرف قطعه دوخته شد. بال‌های نازک، پودری و براق آن را می‌توان با تک رشته‌ها و سیم‌ها تکثیر کرد و در نتیجه پروانه‌ای سه‌بعدی واقعی با بال‌های قابل تغییر شکل داد. بال ها محکم به پایه ها چسبیده بودند تا به راحتی جدا نشوند. نخ های طلا و پلاتین اصیل به کار رفته به قدری سخت هستند که تاکنون در صنعت گلدوزی ژاپن از آنها استفاده نشده است.

Unique Properties
This hand-crafted jewelry item is a wearable art that may be worn as an accessory or even displayed at home. Using the double-sided 3D embroidery technique with single strand, Sayoko could reproduce its thin and shiny wings, resulting in a lifelike 3D butterfly with form-changeable wings. The genuine gold and platinum threads used for this piece are produced and used in making traditional Japanese sashes, or Obi. They are so hard that until now, they have never been used in the embroidery industry.
Dimensions & Packaging

Width 80mm x Depth 70mm x Height 40mm, Weight: 7g. The piece comes in a box.

Production Technology
Technique used: Double-Sided 3D Embroidery technique, which is the original technique of the artist. Materials: 24K gold thread, 99.9 percent platinum thread, melee diamonds, platinum collets and prongs, lame yarn, wires, and 18K gold brooch pin.
Design Challenge
First, controlling force was a key to produce this work. The platinum and gold threads used are so hard that they require more force to stitch than conventional ones. Yet, they are likely to break when too much force is applied. Second, stitching the patterns of wings symmetrically by hand was strenuous and required intensely focused and meticulous work. Lastly, intense efforts were made to invent a unique wiring technology to make them firmly attached to the outfit when going out.
Research
Fluttering butterfly wings captivate the eye; their shape and pattern are truly art in motion. Replicating the look and movement of their wings was essential to the success of this project. To do this, Sayoko analyzed a large number of butterflies on the Internet to ensure natural appearance of the work, including the forms, movement, and texture of the wings. After selecting suitable materials and experimenting with stitching methods, she created a new approach that resulted in a lifelike 3D appearance.
Inspiration
This piece was inspired by Morpho Rhetenor Helena Butterflies dancing in the air. Through her encounter with the threads for making Obi, Sayoko was motivated to create lifelike, fully 3D butterflies, using threads that have never been used in the embroidery industry before.
Project Duration
This project started in June 2021 and finished in December 2021 in Chiba, Japan.
Operation Flow
After placing it on your outfit or ring, by slightly pulling it toward its bottom, its body works as a stopper. Then change its form of wings as you like.
