Living Room

This is one of my oldest pins, but I've never tired of it. I like the fact that everything's a bit skewed, even the frame around the room. Then there are all those details: a cityscape in the window, floral wallpaper, a windowsill and the distorted chair. And then a favourite element: my shirt is both the carpet and the sky behind the cityscape.

I chose this pin because I was meeting corporate big-wigs today. The meeting was casual (or as casual as these things can be), but I always have that feeling that everything's supposed to be 'buttoned up', so we all look good... My pin was a silent rebellion against there being too much order and 'buttoned up-ness'.

The pin's made of silver and gold, and it's signed on the back. Unfortunately, the signature's so small that I can't read it, so I can't give credit, and I can't find more pins by the same designer, so we both lose.
