Maker :: Chickenscratch

This whimsical pin is a take on Aesop's parable of the fox and the grapes. A complex piece featuring multiple finishes, it's crafted from hand-cut brass and copper, oxidized in a rich purple and green patina, then gold leafed. Closes with handmade pin mechanism.

Chickenscratch is a studio jewelry company founded in 1988 by the husband and wife team of Lisa and Scott Cylinder. 

Most Chickenscratch jewelry is made from base metals (brass, copper, nickel silver and sterling silver) sheet and wire that is hand cut and manipulated, mixed with various plastics and found objects. Each piece has been joined with silver solder for strength and durability.
