Jewelled insects and pins made by local artist Linda Jenson. Each are unique and may be slightly different.

A fascination with insects has led to the creation of these pieces. The
class Insecta is vast and varied; rich with shapes, sizes, colors and
metamorphosis. SKINKS are the result of years of experimentation
with an epoxy compound and a variety of materials. Wire, stone, film
and metallic powders are fixed into the medium before it sets. Each
one is individually sculpted and diabolically detailed, right down to the
antennae. The appendages are flexible and embedded through the
cement, finished with a protective coating for durability. These critters
are comfortable just about anywhere – the garden hat, the jacket lapel
or lounging on a lampshade. Jewelry with shock value… never met
with indifference, responses ranging from a shudder to a squeal of
delight. Enjoy!
