SCRAMBLED, 2023
You've seen the Andrew Logan Fried Egg.
Are you ready for THE SCRAMBLED EGG?!
We're so excited about these new Fried Eggs, created by Andrew Logan in his Berriew studio in late 2023. This is the only SCRAMBLED EGG Andrew has made to date, it is available to purchase for the first time ever now!
Andrew first created his fried egg brooches for Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for his Ready-to-Wear show for Spring/Summer 2017 in the Paris Runway. Only three were originally made, two for the catwalk show and one was a gift to close friend and collaborator, fashion designer Zandra Rhodes. It is a firm favourite of hers, she adds, “Of course - I now couldn’t exist without my fried egg - what an inspired brooch! I just need a couple of chips with it.”
This jolly statement brooch features an unusual, pyramid shaped glass piece, which has a yellow glass centre. This spherical shaped glass piece gives the brooch a dynamism, reflecting spirals of light. It is laid over yellow resin that resembles a stylised, scrambled egg yolk, which been hand-painted a rich yellowy orange colour on the underneath side and sealed with glass. The brooch also features some unusual fragments of handmade textured glass, which is marbled yellow and white and has the appearance of sunrises, lemon curd and custard! The yellow resin has been coated with gold leaf to bring out the golden yolk, and flecked with a small amount of mulitcolored glitter to give the egg some additional shimmer.
Scrambled will add joy and humour to every outfit and could also be displayed in the home. It measures 10.5 by 9 cm at its widest points. It has a gold coloured safety pin embedded in the resin at rear, which has been coated with an additional layer of bright green resin and has been signed and dated by the artist. The brooch weighs 53 g.
