I LUV BADGES.

I luv badges so I made some. Making badges is a highly addictive hobby.

I fear I may leave the house covered in 500 badges one day & people will stare at me.

I'm not good at throwing things out, I like to recycle things, so I made these badges out of a GIRLS OWN ANNUAL 1977 cos I couldn't watch it rot on a shelf. Now I have 500 badges.

I think I'm becoming the crazy badge lady.

And another badge.

This one is made from some wrapping paper that I couldn't see go to waste. It is tastefully pinned to a playing card.

RESIN GINGERBREAD MEN

My little gingerbread friends are cast in resin. The lollies in them are real, preserved forever in epoxy resin & never to be eaten.

THE GLAMOUR OF GLASSES

These bizarre glasses have antennae attached & they were designed to wear to gala events.
These vintage glasses are from the 1960's. I purchased them in a flea market in New York City.
The lady who sold me the glasses was a film student in the 1960's. These glasses were used as a prop in a 1960's student short film title WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE BABY GIRL.

The Beauty of Glasses

"Not very long ago, having to wear glasses could blight a girl's life to the extent of making her feel unattractive, unwanted and hopelessly inferior to anyone else lucky enough to be born with good sight.

Then the designers got busy, transforming the ugly, old-fashioned type of spectacles into colourful, face flattering accessories." The Book of Beauty. year of publication unknown but I suspect the late 1950's 0r 1960's.
