I am keying this in as I anticipate a short vacation to Florida. Which
probably explains my first choice: "Racing Octopi Pin" posted by Brad Elfrink, aka
buttoncarver. I'm a sucker for cephalopods, and this trio carved from vintage Bakelite is fantastic.
We now journey from the ocean depths to the night sky. I couldn't resist posting Kent Synder's red brass pins. The owl's tube-set peepers add a note of whimsy to a classic motif.
And to round out our animal theme, how about iris09's hand forged copper snake bangle? Iris used hefty 4 gauge copper to make this statement piece.
I hope you enjoyed my picks for this round. As always, we invite Subscribers to upload images of your work to the Subscriber Gallery. Just be sure to register on our Web site -- it's free and quick, and we don't share your info with anyone! Cheers, Jill :)
