Tatyana Biota realistic flower brooches
Moscow based artist and jewelry designer Tatyana Ivanovna is a biologist, she graduated from Biological Faculty of Moscow State University. Having worked for many years in her specialty, she decided to create, fantasize and experiment. According to Tatyana, she constantly learns. And her main teacher is Nature – with an endless and unique variety of shapes and colors. Although she doesn’t strive for naturalism in her work, yet the fact is her flower brooches look very realistic. For her, images and associations are more important, so that each created composition has its own character, its own “zest”, and its own history.

Noteworthy, the basic material the artist uses for creating these brooches is foamiran. Foamiran (from the English “foam”) is a decorative material used in various types of needlework. Also, it has other names: plastic suede, foamed rubber, reveljur, etc. Foamiran contains ethylene vinyl acetate polymer, made in the form of soft thin sheets (average thickness – 1 mm) in a palette from 20 to 24 colors (depending on the manufacturer). Traditionally, jewelers use Chinese, Korean and Iranian production. Considered to be of higher quality, Iranian foamiran has more realistic colors.
