My Mockingjay Pin

Description

Oh lordy, was this frustrating. I live in Canada, so, short of buying one online - which my parents refuse to let me do - I couldn't manage to get my hands on a mockingjay pin. Therefore, like so many others, I made one!

Fricken Sculpey.

I don't know how long it took, but it was no quick process. It's sort of difficult to see the detail in this picture (you can thank my phone's camera for that), but I'm quite proud of how it came out. The ring is a tad wonky though :(

This is for my costume for the premiere (got my ticket today, yay!). Considering I look a lot more like how Katniss is portrayed on the cover of the UK version than how she is described in the books, I went with the UK pin design rather than the more popular "bird holding an arrow" one. Thinking about it now, it makes more sense and ties in more closely with the description in the books...I mean, the symbolism is nice with the other one, but it would only really make sense if it were made for Katniss. Why was the arrow so important when it was made? It's already a mockingjay, wouldn't the fact that it's holding an arrow be an even bigger insult to the Capitol? I don't know. But I like mine a lot. :D

Clay: white Sculpey Bake Shop oven-bake clay
Paint: Plaid Folk Art in metallic gold
The pin on the back is just an ordinary safety pin secured with some more Sculpey.
