Hi pals, how was your weekend? It's really hot and humid here right now. But you know what? I rather deal with this than the snow, so I am not complaining.
I took Friday off for some much needed rest and created a couple of new brooches! (Actually I also painted but I will share them with you later.) This time I am going for a weathered/vintage look... I want them to look like old toys that have stories behind them. Each of the brooch received a couple of layers of acrylic paints, sanded and stained, then I drew on top of it with a black graphite pencil. To protect the drawings, they all get a layer of matt varnish coating. I then added a layer of felt to finish them up. (Oh, and I used clutch back pins so you can also use these brooches to pin down notes on your tack board if you wish.) Do you like them? : )

These are really nice, great job! Oh how I wish I had some pennies to spare.
These are really cute - I love the teapot and the coffee cup! :)
These are too gorgeous!
Thank you guys!!!
And.... Ahhhh... I took back that part when I said "I have no complain about this weather"! We got so much rain (since Friday and especially last night) that my basement (and most people's in this area) is flooded... 0_0 wahhhh!!! Stop raining already!!
Very very nice I love the one with the owl :)
I love your packaging concept. I hope you would allow me to be inspired by it. I am struggling to come up with something for my buttons on Folksy (UK Etsy type of place) and I don't like my current packaging much. I've got a flower drawn out at home which I wanted to use as my logo, but hadn't thought of making it bigger and putting the buttons in a group at the top. I've just bought some manilla card and have been itching to use it for packaging but stuck as to how.

if you want to see what my existing packing is like, and see what I mean, there's a folksy button on my blog... :)
