Eye Flower Pin (Brown)

2 x 2 7/8 x 1 
 
This pin by Betsy Youngquist was made using an antique glass doll eye surrounded by beads and adhered in a mosaic process. The eye was salvaged from the grounds of a pre-WW2 German doll factory. These were the "flawed" eyes which were buried in the ground as a means of disposal. 
Eyes are historically identified as symbols of protection. This is a one of a kind piece of wearable art. 
 
Materials:
