2santas.jpggood_easter1_3-ttalk.jpgGroupHalloweenttk.jpgbest-cat-group.jpgBestNew-santa3.jpgBest-Group2.jpgHave you ever had anything take over you life, unexpectedly?  I've been sidelined with making brooches from vintage postcard image *sigh*.  I know it's not bears, but would appreciate if some of you could take a minute and let me know which ones you find most appealing.  Thanks a bunch.

They are all very appealing. I wouldn't be able to choose one that was better than the others.

I have a cross-stitch of the Santa with the holly wreath on his head and the little girl. You've reminded me of it as I did it a number of years ago, but haven't yet decided whether it should be a pillow, framed picture, or wall hanging. But I do love the Santa and girl.

I agree that all of them are really nice!  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  I think I like, however, the close-up ones (kitten, bunny, chick, Santa head) maybe a tad more.  They are all beautiful, though.

Well . . . I'd have to have one for each holiday . . . so, for Christmas, I'd have to have the Santa with the little girl peeking around from behind, and for Easter,  the bunny with the basket.  For Halloween I like the girl in the orange costume with the broom and black cat.  The first one with the cat is a no-brainer, I'd have to have it.

Brenda, they're wonderful!  I love that there's a little glitter and sparkle to each one.  The holiday ones really catch my eye.  Aren't we all so lucky, to be creative souls?  Have a ball!

They're all lovely, but the Halloween ones are my fave!  Must be the bright colours and the fact that they have children in them bear_original

These are fabulous, all of them but my very, very favorite is the on at the very bottom on the right, the winter scene with santa and the two little children.

Thanks everyone!  I really appreciate all of the feedback.  I listed several on ebay tonight and I'm going to look into Etsy as well. I have a link to one of the auctions in the Art Cards  section.  It's nice to feel this excited about something, again!

I love the animal ones the best. But that is only my own personal taste.
Do you ever make any frogs?
I think these brooches are a quaint idea. I love them.

Brenda, what a gorgeous idea! :clap:
Now, I can tell you my favorites, but not because the others are not nice, but becuase I´m not so much into father christmas, but rather in St. Nicolaus  bear_grin

Make more, make more! ....and pix please!

Thanks so much for the feedback and comments girls- I bought more supplies while on holidays and am going to start different brooches, and custom Christmas ornaments as well.  It's really addictive!
