Heidi BigKnife Genetic Memory Pin – Dragonflies

She describes the figurative shapes she uses in this series as “dresses” – having a feminine connotation, but others see them as “tunics” – masculine representations. This pin includes the important element of dragonflies as decoration. The pin is 1 7/8" wide x 1 1/2" high. The matte finish gives the sterling silver a soft look, reminiscent of well-worn cloth.$215.00
