Seashore Brooch

Three tide-pool species share the frame here: a smooth, whiskered sea lion, a shore crab, and a common sea star. Mike Warner relied on delicate photo-etching to distinguish their surfaces, translating the star's rough, bumpy rays into tiny brass textures right alongside the sea lion's slick silhouette. I only come across this multi-species pin occasionally, though it was produced in both bright gold tone and silver-rhodium.
