I’m currently illustrating a couple books, and in my down time I’m creating new Art Pins.
How it started: a way for me to share 50 4-leaf clovers I had found.
My yard is full of normal run-of-the-mill 3-leaf clover, but a small patch of property under an old oak tree has the 4 and 5 leaf mutation. It’s just an over abundance of 4-leavers in that location. Over the years I would pick a few, put them in a thick book, and forget about them. Last year I realized the book was getting full of collected clover, so the question arose in my mind - how can I preserve these for people and pass along the good luck. The idea of Art Pins hatched in my mind.
After making 400 Art Pins, how it’s going.
I eventually made 75 clover pins, there were so many tucked away in that book! I gifted all of those away - save the ones above, which are spoken for. After they were gone, my list of recipients had grown beyond 75… so I created Art Pins with flowers I pressed. Each a unique watercolor painting and pen & ink drawing, each a unique piece of my art.
Just as the clover ones were special in that I had found each of the clovers in my yard, my latest batch of Art Pins are special, limited edition, in the fact that I’ve collected those flowers from my yard. You can dm me on Twitter if you are interested in one: @ShennenBersani
