Zoinks, y'all. So far all of my favorite pieces of Larkin's work have involved stones and metal, but this piece of pure silversmithing has me converted!
You may recall that Larkin fabricated this apple blossom as part of the Ringgold workshop-- well, now it has been paired with an apple leaf and transformed into a gorgeous clothing pin!
This set involves so many different techniques and textures that combine to form an amazingly realistic result.
And look how perfectly shiny the back is! Zoom in if you ever have a need for my fingerprints.
This lovely will be at the RoxyAnn Winery event tomorrow!
