The top center layer is domed with a rocket ship right in the center surrounded by purple/white blue berry blast acai flavor.

How ironic that the information says this is “all natural fruit flavored” but it is still candy, not fruit.

The mixed messages of consumer packaging is what I like to example more closely in my work.

Our society at every level seems to be filled with lies and seduction.

The next layer is an orange & yellow tin layer. Further back is a deep purple post consumer plastic. It looks super sharp and threatening, but actually it is soft and flexible. This plastic is durable beyond your imagination. It will not break. It is incredibly difficult to cut plastic from commercial shampoo bottles direct from the salon.

back ground layers include “Gucciesque” multi colored tin layer, Deep Purple Post Consumer Plastic, Pink/Purple Post Consumer Plastic.

Back: Dark Purple with white star on the edge and white & gold crown in the center

Look at the close ups.
One of the images is my maker's mark. This is the stamped image of a domestic iron.  This domestic iron even has an electric cord, and plug with two prongs. A maker's mark is the traditional way silversmiths, metalsmiths and jewelers stamped their work indicating the maker of the piece.  This is permanent and establishes this as the work of Harriete Estel Berman.

This domestic iron is a pun on the fact that a hallmarking stamp is made from iron (steel) and a tribute to the traditional tool of women's work - an iron.

All of this tin is from post consumer tin cans. All pins are one of a kind.
The sturdy commercial pin is artfully concealed. Look for my hallmark on the back of the pin.

Dimensions: (4.5”x4.5”)
Purchases can be made directly from the artist at my studio or by mail.
Nothing you see here is sold at another location. This is a one of a kind Flower Pin with both recycled tin cans and post-consumer plastic trash.
