Mona Lotl: axolotl pin
The axolotl's own wide smile stands in for the world's most famous one. Mona Lotl sits for the portrait in a dark shawl, with hazy lakes and hills behind, redrawn in cottagecore's soft ink line and paper grain. A tiny gallery piece for a keeper's jacket or bag: a 3 in round pin on a Cream field.

About this design
A leucistic axolotl sits for the world's most famous portrait, knowing smile and dark shawl, with hazy lakes and hills behind, filling the round pin.
The axolotl's own wide smile stands in for the famous one, and the old-master haze is redrawn with cottagecore's soft ink line, stipple texture, earthy palette and paper grain.
The real animal: In the wild, axolotls survive only in the lake and canal system of Xochimilco near Mexico City, and they are assessed as critically endangered. (Source: Wikipedia)
About this pin
Metal with a glossy mylar face that resists scratches and UV, and a safety-pin back.
The printed face wraps over the button's rim, so the key art sits inside the front circle and only the background runs over the edge.
