#343P – Penguin Hand Painted Pin

Aptenodytes forsteri, 1″ wide X 1.4″ tall. This sculpted, Hand Painted Emperor Penguin Pin is expertly crafted into wearable avian art, sure to please the winter colony breeding, flightless Antarctic bird enthusiast.

Cast in lead-free Fine Pewter, our especially detailed pins are individually Hand Painted by award winning artist Michele Kortbawi-Wilk. She painstakingly blends acrylic paints, combining delicate washes and precise patterns, to achieve her uniquely colorful and realistic style.

Then, each piece is protected with a durable, multi-coat gloss for everyday wear and truly becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art. Each pin has two short nails and two flat-backed clutches as shown above, for a secure, non-spin hold. All designs © GG Harris.
