Christmas pins 2015












I try to make these every year to give as gifts. I only managed to get 5 successful paintings. They are watercolor and ink on mat board, then sprayed with a fixative. The beads are strung on a needle then dipped into acrylic gloss medium. Then carefully pulled the needle out(that explains the crooked bead lines). Finally a layer of gloss medium over the image and bead, Sign on the back and attach clasp.

      I guess though the years I must have made a hundred of them.

      Thanks for the comment. I probably throw half out but with this small size not a lot of material waste.

      Thanks for commenting. I have given them away and occasionally someone leaves one on and it goes through the wash. When I give them away to everyone who want them I may start over again with those that lost them in the washing machine.
