Chickenscratch Pin Holding the Bag JN2584

Chickenscratch jewelry is completely handmade by Lisa and Scott Cylinder of mixed metals, plastics, and found objects. Finishes are various and vast; Hand applied patinas, enamels, enamel paints, epoxy resins, silver and gold leaf, silver and gold plate and many more! All work is silver soldered and many pieces have moving elements. The quality, integrity and our unique design sense have been at the highest level for 26 years. Each piece is a small sculpture constructed from many parts. The construction process is inventive, clever and labor intensive. Each is truly a work of art.

Introduced in 1997, the Holding The Bag Pin speaks volumes about the burdens of life. An oxidized brass bird, complete with a copper beak and an epoxy resin in copper eye, holds a hydraulically formed, amber patinated bag full of copper worms. This pin is a complex fabrication combining silver soldering and clever cold connections. Both the feet of the bird and the worms move. Completed with our handmade pin mechanism. Fun pin indeed. Measures 2.25" long and 1.5" across the wides part. Silver soldered and cold joined. Nest is just under 1.5" diameter.
