Hand-Sculpted OOAK Magnets and Broaches

One-of-a-kind polymer clay magnet by Misha Yarbrough

Made by the talented Misha Yarbrough, shown above, is a one-of-a-kind polymer clay magnet. She has made these as cameo-style broaches, too.


These are other examples of Misha's magnets and broaches. She currently has some listed on eBay here.


After purchasing the one shown in the first image, I commissioned Misha to make a portrait broach using one of my photos.  The photo and the broach are shown above in a side-by-side photograph.  As she worked on it, without showing the actual photo of me, Misha made a short video. Several people on Instagram and on Facebook knew it was me, which is a testament to her talent.

The broach is shown above in front and back views.
My commissioned piece arrived in a cotton-lined gift-box as perfect as I had imagined.  My husband asked, "So what are you going to do, walk around with a broach of yourself?"  My answer was, "No, I'm going to pin it where my other broach collection is pinned.  But truth be told, yes, I will wear it and proudly.

Other doll pins and broaches

This denim hobo-style bag is where most of my broaches are pinned.  For now, the one Misha made will be stored in the gift box until I choose to wear it.


Africa and me.
As a side note, the shape of my commissioned broach interestingly reminds me of the shape of the continent of Africa.

Here again, is a link to Misha's current eBay listings.
