Rustic Pins


I have so enjoyed making these pins...... 


 
....hand drawn little images on old book pages with text that I painted over
..... captured in resin and wax
....... mounted on hand cut and filed reclaimed metal
 
that I attached a small pin too, and etched my signature on the back
 

 
taking way longer to make then they look like they should when they are finished.
 
 
 I then decided to mount them on a card
 
 
that when folded in half contains my name and address

 
and when opened

shows off the pin with a wee bit of information about its making.
 
All of it was so enjoyable.

  5. And these are so enjoyable to behold in person. The complete package is here Kim. Not only are the pins themselves a treasure, but the art on the card is in itself a little work of art. The thought behind the design of this whole presentation is magnificent. Your talent shines through. This is a gift that would be perfect in the giving. I don't even want to mention how perfect it is to receive such a gift...(ahem)...everybody wins. You have really done it this time Kim. AND ALL TIMES, as you know I adore your work. N. xo
