aquacolorSome of my favorite childhood memories are of spending summer afternoons "fishing" with my dad. Instead of poles we used nets, waiting patiently in thigh-deep water for a ripple of iridescent color. One flick of the wrist and up came a bright, wriggling fish. We'd study it for a moment before releasing it to slip back into its watery world. Aquacolor is a thank you to my dad for those golden days.

I painstaking sculpt each sterling silver pin by hand, using an anatomical drawings of actual fish as my guide. Color is added by immersing the piece in a patina bath until the metal begins to glow with emerging color. Finally, an antique finish is applied. Sizes range from 1 1/4" for the trigger fish to 2 " for the squid.
