Part of my goal for this challenge was to show people (as well as myself) what I'm capable of. So far it's really succeeded in doing that. In fact, it's succeeded so much so that a friend of mine, Janet, asked me to make her some special favors for her 30th birthday. Janet has been so supportive of Stray from the beginning, so of course, I said yes! (Plus 30 unique brooches in less than 2 weeks is too tasty a challenge to just pass up P:)We decided on brooches because they're just the right size and I feel I have an adequate amount of time to complete 30 of them given the time. (Even if that means halting my 23 day challenge :P)
Thing is! The only brooches I've made are the little rose and the big rose ones (which is also a hair clip). I wanted to offer Janet more options so I tried different ideas.I wanted to design something a little more sophisticated so I played with some geometric shapes until I came up with a nice little pattern I was happy with.
Janet, bless her, loved all of the designs. So I'm going to make her a whole mixture of brooches.
After we had already came to an agreement I finished another one that I kind of like. She hasn't told me yet though what she thinks of it, though.Overall, I love them! They're so cute! I hope I can make more than I need so I can keep or sell a few lol. They're going to be so awesome on hats and scarves when the weather gets colder.
I'm not going to post pictures of them during the process because I don't want to spoil the surprise, but my flickr will be full of them after her birthday party.
BTW, today is her real birthday so--
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANET!!!
