Create a brooch/pin no larger that 2 ½ x 2 ½ inches.
Anything goes for the face as long as it implies a human face and has some beads.
Polymer clay, buttons, paper clay, image transfer, bead or regular embroidery, what ever strikes your fancy.
This is a 1 -1 swap. Due to me by September 28th.
You must include return postage of $5.00 or a Priority Stamp
and return mailing label. If you do not send return postage, your pin is mine.
