Poop Pins

For several years the tourists (and some locals) were wearing baseball caps that looked like a bird had dropped a load on the front of the cap,the caption read "Damn Seagulls". I must admit that I wasn't sorry when I finally quit seeing them,but a jewelry designer in London has taken the bird crap concept to a new level. The artist claims her creativity functions between seduction and repulsion and often finds her inspiration for her pieces looking down at the ground. She has put these ideas into some truly unique works,from ants to bird crap brooches. You might think what you see is gross at first but I think it kind of grows on person once the initial surprise wears off.
