Mixed-Media dragon brooch created using John Teal Crutchfield's signature "Metallic Art Graphics" technique. The dragon’s body is decorated with an intricate collage of computer graphics, marbleized paper, and inlaid strips of glitter and prism. These elements create a multi-dimensional, psychedelic effect that often appears to shift colors or shimmer in the light. The foundation is made from high-quality brass, providing a sturdy metal base. The surface is then coated in a thick, glass-like layer of clear resin or fiberglass, which protects the graphics and adds depth to the design. Crutchfield’s work often draws from Art History, reinterpreting classical motifs and historical themes through a contemporary, digital-age lens. This specific dragon shape is part of his "mythical creature" series, which aims to evoke a sense of imagination and grandeur. Each piece is an original studio art creation. You can find a hand-signed signature on the reverse side, often accompanied by the year 1997 of production. RARE! *UNISEX* MEASURES 2 3/4"×1.5"
