I forgot to post the finished flower brooch. We shifted from white to black. (I listed the white one in the shop.) I’m pretty sure I would never have created a three dimensional black flower without outside prodding. That’s the power of collaboration, folks. A shout out to all my amazing customers. Y’all consistently prod me to try interesting things. ———————————————————————- #collaboration #tinjewelry #tinflower #metalsculpture #tinsmithing #sustainabledesign #jewelrymaking #brooch #upcycling #upcycledfashion #magneticjewelry (at San Marcos, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhDb8wFpVK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6p0jqcxweru6

Name: Tinflower Flight: Fire Occupation: Collector, Taxonomist, Arthropod Enthusiast 

"A pin for everything, and everything on its pin." Tinflower is an accomplished entomologist. Her collection of pinned, labeled, and oft-times newly discovered insects is vast and precisely catalogued. She is passionate about taxonomy and proper classification. Precision and delicacy are her watchwords. Recently she has acquired an interest in taxidermy; an art she has always considered vital to understanding natural history. She finds the remnants of extinct species to be especially captivating and will pay almost any price to acquire new specimens to add to her collection. Other dragons often find themselves uneasy in Tinflower's company, as she has the disconcerting habit of talking to herself, usually measuring and classifying things under her breath, including the features of her guests. Familiar: Titus, a rare and unusually large Hydra Scorpion (Androctonus hydrae) -- certainly one of the more dangerous pieces in her collection.
