Forcing the issue...

OK, so I am determined to get this brooch thing up and running. As you may know, I made a gigantic amount of brooches for the show I did over the weekend. How did they sell??? (I am sure you are all waiting with bated breath for the answer...) They sold pretty well. I didn't sell astounding amounts but enough sold that made me think I should keep them coming. So today I had a fashion shoot with my headless dress form (it belonged to my grandmother - it was cast from her body when she was 16 years old - you would not believe how tiiiiiny the waist is!) to show how excellent they can look.

The most common question I heard all weekend was "Can you show me ways to wear pins? I really like them but I don't know how to wear them." Well, just stick them on, I say! Anywhere! You can wear them on your Winter coat, your jacket, blazer, at your throat, on your collar, on your handbag, to hold a shawl closed, to gather a full skirt on the side, in your hair, on your hat, on your scarf, on your belt... whew! I could go on. But I won't. The point is this: brooches are awesome and I encourage everyone to wear one and all my fellow jewelry designers to make them. So there.

(could it be that I have had a little too much cold medicine today? It's time for my nap.)

All three brooches are now available in my Etsy shop.
