I made this pin from bronze. I sawed out the dandelion form, textured the feathery gold section, used brown patina on the stems and attached the back I made. I've always had an emotional connection to dandelions. I am by nature, very superstitious. As a child I made wishes on birthday cakes, shooting stars, the first star I saw every night, 11:11, after holding my breath driving through tunnels, and most frequently dandelions. I still make wishes whenever I can. Not because I believe dandelions have superpowers to grant wishes, but because it reminds me of what I truly want in life. It reminds me to dream big. And with this reminder, I am inspired to go after what I want.
