Detta, pick a pin!

I'll be in BC to see you soon and want to bring you a pin.  I have no idea which you'll like best, so have a look and pick your pin!

Here are you choices, in no particular order.  Take your time!  You have until November 8 to decide.

Love,
Jan



I have no idea what the pin back is made of --  it was a flea market find --  but I love the gear and the disc saying "discover" right next to a key.

 This is a vintage silver filigree pin to which I appended a snowflake and an eiffel tower.
This one uses my beloved Egyptian motifs.  I can't guarantee the stability of the wings, though.  I glued them down as tightly as I could, but the do stick out.
 A lovely animal mask and really nice colours.  This one is heavy, though, because it's backing is a stone disc.  I think it would only work on a coat.
I used some Indian silver stars for this one, along with coral and lapis beads.
A bronze locket that I got in Seoul and upended to make a pin.  
 Very Steampunky, with a compass attached!
Bigger than most, but quite light in weight.
This is one of my favourites, but sadly it's in colours I don't wear or I'd keep it myself.  It's very light and has some lovey-dovey French words on the backing.
I have one very like this that I wear often..  I love the juxtaposition of the gears and the escaping bird.
"The Wave" on a clock face, with sea birds flying below.
The back on this is shinier than it looks in this photo. It's got lots of gears and clock innards and a really pretty multicoloured bead below.
Six layers of gears, with the Eiffel Tower,  a ball (NOT a wrecking ball, although I suspect that there's a Sreampunk novel somewhere in which the Eiffel Tower gets destroyed! ) and chain below.
 This is another one I'd like to keep, but I just don't wear silver.  The backing is a turquoise disc.
 Another of the silver Indian stars, this time with pearly blue beads and a nice key pendant below.  There's a blue clock face under the star.
This was one of the first pins I made.  It's very clunky to hold, but looks nice when worn.  It's a pin with pressed flowers inside to which I attached the hand and the crystal.
