Here are some trades that I have been working on for artfest. I think I got a little carried away. They were supposed to be simple, quick and really easy, but I loved the process. I just got lost in time and painted tiny little pictures for most of the day. It was really fun. I love getting lost like that.
After I painted them, I decided to get a little daring and added wax. I didn’t really know what I was doing, but the end result turned out great. I love the subdued color and the added texture. I wish you could see them in person.
Now, the question is whether I should glue on magnets for the fridge or pins to wear. Maybe both? I can’t decide. Help!
both!
Oh, I love those so much! Whenever you see my comments, you must just think “Oh, there’s that Michelle again,” but seriously I just think those are fantastic. It’s a toss up between magnets or pins, because on the one hand, I think pins would allow your little pieces of art to see the world and be enjoyed by more people, but then again magnets on the fridge are seen multiple times a day…! I’m no help, but maybe that means both?
I think magnets would be really neat… but then, i have a fridge that doesnt attract magnets! So magnets are pretty useless to me actually 🙂
:)…michelle really cracks me up.
i’d go with magnets. you don’t really know the recipients and not everyone is a pin wearer… but i would guess everyone has a fridge.
they’re sweet…and i love the wax
Their really sweet, what have you drawn them onto?
pins! I want the bird one…no no, the princess with the shiny crown…no the little house…..pins, pins. Lots of my friends would wear pins.
Pins! definitely pins, they are too beautiful to put on a fridge!
i love them! i can’t even decide which is my favorite.
i think either magnets or pins would be awesome.
magnets would be easy… but i’m leaning more towards pins. if you made them into pins you could even add a little felt backing/border.
either way — they are super cute and the recipients will love them!
both! But if you have to chose, then pins!
Do both – they are so cute!
Either or both – they are gorgeous! Are you going to sell some too? Please say yes!
Both are a great idea, but may I offer another suggestion . . .rings!!!
They may be a bit large, but would be neat for some of them. Definitely would make a statement.
These are so adorable and so you. Love them, love them, love them. And I vote for magnets.
I would love them as pins or magnets, but I’m voting for pins! Everyone can pin them on something–if not a jacket or scarf, then a bag…my knitting bag carries the funnest pins around!
Absolutely both –
Pins or both. They are so beautiful! Yes, sell some!
both-both-both!
I think both.As pins I would put them in bags, scarfs, on a hand made doll for me. As magnets in my fridge, but it is a little bit crowded, so I would put them in my sewing machine!!!!
Lovely, especially the one with the Queen butterfly!
They are all cute.
they are beautiful..i love them !!
BRAVO !!!
love your work !!
a bientot
I say both, and these would make darling checker sets for birthday parties if you have some coming up.
I love your work and have been by here on occasion. Not sure how I first discovered your blog. While I think pins would be fabulous to show off to others I know if these were on my fridge they’d make me smile SO much every time I went to get something from the fridge. They’re lovely! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
I love them all! Why not create both? The possibilities are endless, 🙂 I’d love to have one of these on my bag.
Pins! I want one!!!
Also, at some point you wrote, “I wish you could see them in person” and I said out loud, “Me too!” 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your talents my bloggity friend.
You ROCK!
Jennifer
Both! They are so happy to look at!
