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 (and you know, cos it’s pretty).
And of course, the ever present DIY badges- now smaller, and shot on prettier fabric! I’m trying to make more of an effort to take nicer product photos- you know, as practice for when I actually sell stuff. Any comments/hints?
PS. If anyone would like, I’ll post them a portrait badge via snail mail. Just comment below with an email and let me know which one you want. Obviously, only the first two people will get one.
nb. the purple haired lady badge has gone to a lovely lady in Arizona, so only comment if you’d like the peach haired portrait!
