So I’ve been badgering(!) away, and making different badges. The ones above originally looked like this before being popped in the oven. I’m not quite sure if I fully like these- I don’t know anyone that would actually want to wear a portrait on their lapel so perhaps they don’t make much sense… but they were my attempt at a sort of modern victorian cameo.
Below- the pin backs are held in place with a little piece of felt for strength.
I thought I’d share with you my super zine package from Mel Stringer, an illustrator from Queensland. You should definitely check out her drawings, her style is fantastic. As far as I can tell it’s mainly done with ball point pens, but somehow she manages to make the sketchy lines look so stylish. I admit, I totally I have art envy for this girl.
