Chicken Swap Sneak Peep
Here's a detail from a chicken swap I'm doing with Plump Pudding. Obviously I'm not very good at keeping secrets, but all is not revealed and I still have a few more surprises to add to the package. I started this project before I read her post about being a fickle-minded pincushion user. Hopefully this one holds her interest for awhile.
Side note: I'm watermarking my photos now because I'm a bit of a paranoid person and I've read a couple stories that got me thinking. And, although I'm not protecting any personal business interests, I do loath thievery. And, if I found one day that someone was using my photos in some non-ethical way, I might seize up and not be able to blog anymore. And, that would be a sad, sad day.
P.S. I forgot to mention that Bella Dia's pincushions and Wee Wonderfuls' Shrinky Dink pins were my inspirations on this one. I didn't have any Shrinky Dink sheets in the house, so I used Fimo. To make it an actual chicken swap I had to make the chick to tie it all together.

I love the colors! And the composition of the photograph! And the tasteful watermark. :) :) :)
Really sweet :)
These are really great - I had never thought to use Fymo for pins! And how could anyone not want to use this pincushion?! Great job.
OMG! IN. LOVE. WITH. THE. CHICKENS!!!
I thought you bought the pins for the homemade cusion. OMG -how did you do that!! Awesome! The chick is So cute!
This is SO lovely! I love your little chick...
These look great!!!! How sweet they are.
your chick is really cute! our fimo stories are almost identical - after seeing hillary's photos i made my first fimo pins because I didn't have any shrinky dink either! great minds and all that, huh? :) mine have turned into a full-time fascination. too funny!
Thank you everybody!
Abby: I made the watermark in Photoshop with a couple text layers over the photo. The big one is about 10 or 20 percent transparency. Hope this helps.
Cathy: Thanks for you visit. I just added you to my bloglines.
Sooz: You should see Laurie's blog (see her link in her comment above), she's the queen of Fimo pins.
tfrizzy: I sent you an email with a little how-to.
gillian: Thanks for the first time comment!
dana: I just added you to my bloglines, too.
Laurie: Now that I re-look at your blog I see that I took your idea without realizing it! You truly are the queen of Fimo pins! Sorry I didn't acknowledge you in the post. I'm at about 130 crafty blogs in my bloglines and I get a little confused sometimes, not to mention the mother-brain-sydrome I've got. ;)
I like the pins! Nice job. Do you think that you could post a tutorial about 'how to watermark'? :)
So sweet! so adorable, luvvin it!!!
The pincushion look beautiful and so do the pins!
I want to try making some too soon :)
Found your blog through Abigail's. Your art is wonderfully whimsical and very inspiring. Love the little chicken, apple pocket and other treasures. Look forward to seeing more...
This is so incredibly cute! Lovely gift.
I wanted to tell you that I showed your blog to Brian when I was up in Oakland, and his immediate question was "Does she sell things in stores? How can I buy some of these things." Just thought you should know that Brian, who is an angel as you know, wants to own things that you make.
Nice blog. I will be linking to you.
Love that green! Wonderful blog by the way. I'm hooked.
So nice to see some new people commenting! I'm looking forward to checking out your blogs.
Oh, lovely 'secret' pincushion... I'm in the midst of making pincushions in the shape of little owls. Love reading your blog. Cheers, gracia
