Chest Broach: Me

My Chest Broach

I drew a sketch of the real one and then placed a piece of wax paper over the drawing. Then I put a piece of the femo clay down on the wax paper and started to carve it over the drawing I could see through the wax paper. I tried to find beads that were the same purple colored flowers as the authentic ones, but I ended up finding a mixture of flowers and leaves in the colors of Padme's funeral dress, which I think is appropriate and forshadows what's to come. The flowers and leaves could also represent the meadow she and Anakin had a picnic in on Naboo... a more peaceful and happy time than the one they face now.
