This hand-beaded broach collection is inspired by my personal use of mind maps to arrive to an idea while brainstorming. I am constantly writing down my thoughts, in a well designed manner within a graphic mind map. I chose to select shapes that I arrived to in the mind map, after looking at what "Spirited" means to me. Using a variety of beading processes and materials, I allowed each broach to be quirky and unique on it's own, but be able to thrive in a group. Each broach is a personality of being spirited and is it's own separate thought bubble within the mind map.
