Vintage Cookie Jars Inspiration for Beads
You know I'm always keeping my eyes open for different types of inspiration.
Have you ever considered cookie jars?
These were purloined from a blog called Retro District, which I enjoy a lot.
Now to be honest, there are only one or two of these which are my style to base a bead on. But the vintage color combinations are always a lot of fun.
I might just look at them a different way. Here I have a variety of eyeballs. (Yep, still on that kick, I'm afraid to say.) But look - there's quite a gamut here. I like the rounded happy face eyes of the man in the bottom right corner, or the "plus signs" for that traditional clown appearance. Both are simple to make and are great reminders that you don't always need to be complex.
So have you guessed which two? I'll give you a clue, they're on the same row. The first person to post on this blog, the correct response, will receive a $15 gift certificate to my StudioMarcy etsy shop. (Please note, if you're reading this on Facebook, the guess must be posted on my blog- http://www.StudioMarcy.blogspot.com.

Third row down, last two on the right, are my picks.

Second row, Humpty Dumpty and the Pig. They already look like something you've made.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Humpty Dumpty and the Deer ones! It is amazing where you can find inspiration! Love your work!
ReplyDeleteI say Humpty Dumpty and the plaid clown (with moustachio!). Can't wait to see what you choose!
ReplyDeleteWonderful inspiration ...!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I really do hope that you'll go for the clown and the mouse (no. 1 / no. 2 of the the first row ...!).
Looking forward to see your choices ... :)
I think it's the pig and the pieman. The very last two :)
