It was always my intention to take some of my paintings and transform them into fancy wearables; things like brooches + lockets. But as is often the case, life got away from me and my good intentions had to be put on the back burner until a more opportune time. Well wouldn't you know, that time came just this past weekend! It was one of my dearest friend's {and biggest supporters of my art work} birthday and I instantly thought that I should get to work on making something for her!*************
So here is the Little Fawn Girl! I actually made 2 of these brooches, the second of which {is a bit darker} will be up in ye olde etsy shoppe. But while I was at it {and having such success!}, I thought I might as well make something for myself too...

My friend loved her gift! And I was pleased enough with how these turned out that I'm feeling really excited about making some more of these fancy wearables after the holidays!

I love it! I am a big brooch fan and wear them all the time. I usually end up scouring Goodwill for some vintage beauties but yours are ever so cool.
ReplyDeletethese turned out lovely! did you use resin? if not, i could teach you about that - and sorry you weren't feeling well on sunday... the nutcracker is such a special performance... maybe the beautiful music and soaring tree helped a bit...
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! What a great idea.

ReplyDeleteYes, I used Epoxy! That stuff is amazing! I was a little intimidated, but my Mister is pretty familiar with a variation on the stuff that he uses for fixing his surfboards. However, I'd always be thrilled to have any advice or help you'd like to lend!

ReplyDeleteThank you! And very true...sometimes the hunt for a great brooch and knowing that it is so unique makes it just that much more special!

i just saw your post title in the blog roll. I love your vegan cookie zine! Its awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am not a vegan, but tried it out as an experiment for a few months. I totally loved it. It just took so much time and energy. But I love incorporating vegan meals/treats/ideas into my life!
