This is my Chotski pin for Red Lead's swap. I went with a seashore theme. The piece of coral was on clearance at Michaels and started its life as a gaudish red pendant. I painted it with white acrylics and colorized it with aqua, orange, and brown perfect pearls. And I sealed it for good measure. The little vial holds sand and seashell bits from a vacation. I added a pearl to charms (also on Michaels' clearance), and added some metallic ribbon as the finishing touch. I'm pleased with the balance of the finished pin and I love the color palette.
