this listing is for the smaller version of my moth pins. note that there are a few new designs that are even smaller! please pay attention to which one you are ordering (they are all named and i have a photo with the names labelled so you can be sure!)
these moth pins are perfect to add a splash of color to your wardrobe or work space, and their designs are unique and eye-catching!
the steel pins are glued on very securely, so they will not come loose! the backing is also a nice snug fit, i've personally worn one of my pins all day and it didn't budge. still, i wouldn't recommend wearing it if you will be doing any kind of hard labor, because it's still made of ceramic.


THE PROCESS //
• before making a piece i sketch out a design and pick some colors and patterns to suit the piece.
• i then hand-sculpt the ideas out of porcelain clay! once they are dry (around 24-48 hours later)...
• they are then bisque fired to about 2000 degrees fahrenheit in order to strengthen the clay.
• they are then individually painted with glaze, then fired again to over 2000 degrees to make the glaze melt like glass.
• once they are glazed and shiny, i paint the accents with a gold luster chemical, and they are fired once more to burn off the residue in the luster and leave behind a very thin layer of gold.
