Hola my friend!
Not so long ago I promised to list some black and white pins on my Etsy store, that I had made out of shrink plastic... BUT, I accidentally found out that the concentrated black ink that I was using on the shrink plastic wasn't safe around water, that's why I decided to make the same pin using a different material. After some experimentation I decided that the perfect option was polymer clay covered with resin and stiffened felt for the back. I am sooo happy about the result!
I have been wearing this little bambina all the time!!! :)
It just goes with everything!
I am looking at it right now and I can say that it looks like an antique little porcelain tile, so sweet!
Right now I only have 6 of them that I am happy to share with you, you can find this pin here on my Etsy store.
Have a wonderful day!
Elsita :)
i love this pin elsita and it was great for you to solve the water resistant problem. I went to etsy to see if I could buy one but there are none in the shop and yet only one was sold as far as I can tell . I will check back a little later to see if it has been restocked.

Boo! Me, too, too late! Will you make more? She is so, so lovely, and when I wear her, I will think of her sister print, hanging in my beautiful baby girl's room. Add me to the chorus of "Please!"

Hola Elsa!....me encanta tu trabajo, preciosos dibujos. Hace poco, conseguí Shrink Plastic en un viaje, y no he parado de hacer cositas....los resultados son geniales!...me encanta (tengo que hacer fotos). Y también he decubierto lo que te ha pasado a tí, que la tinta concentrada al encoger, se emborrona con el sudor o el agua, incluso rascando un poquito con la uña, y se estropean los dibujos. Cómo haces para proteger los dibujos?, has dado con alguna solución?, algún tipo de barniz o esmalte?. Si pudieras ayudarme te estaría agradecida. Lo malo que al barnizar igual también se emborrona la tinta, y se pierde esa textura tan bonita que queda al natural, en mate...aysss. Ya me dirás!. Gracias

See how the sky was black during the day, see how long is the night, and at dawn.
