Oh how I love talented people like Ann Carrington, who conceptualise and produce such incredibly gorgeous art as this. I like my incredibly gorgeous art even more so when it is served with a wafer thin slice of irony. This style of button work was made most famous by these types of British pearly queens, yet Ann has used it to create a pearly queen of the HRH variety. Totally brilliant.
And the 2p just there? Safety pins. I kid you not.
If you're as in love with this unique work as much as I am, you can get your mitts on a limited edition print of the beautiful originals.
p.s. while researching Ann's work I found that the Novogratz family known for the show 9 By Design have several of Ann's pieces in their home. So, i guess that's a good thing - they must be kid proof!

This kind of edgy art is really my cup of tea. Safety pins, buttons...I love the creativity of this work.
They are fabulous. I'm seeing one on my gallery wall in the b&w bedroom...if I can ever get my act together. BTW, love your very funny comment about the kidproofness!
In safety pins!?! It's somehow a very suitable, prudent sort of a product for a 2p.
I am a lover of all things sequin and glitter;) These are wonderful pieces of art! I would love one on my living room wall! Thanks for introducing me to Ann's amazing art Jules! Thanks also for all of your lovely comments, they make my day! Today I will be 'Powering On!' Wishing you a wonderful weekend ~ Tina xx
