Brass Fairy Doors + Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas

Filed under Christmas, Collage Sheets, Newsletters, Sale

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

Brass Door Sets
Adorable little sets of raw brass doors (with windows) to create tiny pendants,
earrings, pins (or include in a collage). And look at that amazing pendant (far right) Wendy Anderson made by turning one of the doors upside down!

The "Wide Rounded" version (with the round/circle window) is approx.
1-1/4" wide x 1-1/4" tall. The window is 17mm diameter.

The "Rectangle" version (with the half-round window) is approx. 3/4" wide x 1-1/4" tall. The window is 14mm wide.

All the art samples show tiny little images sized for these windows from the New Fairy Inchies Mini Sheet.

Fairy Inchies Mini Sheet
A half-page sheet (5-1/2 x 8-1/2″) with tiny little images, chosen for the windows in the Brass Door Sets (but suitable for all kinds of tiny needs, including inchies). The images are either 1″ x 1″ or 1″ x 2″ (with a lovely little bit of 3 gold metallic trims filling out the space on the right edge).

Beside “fairies” (and that’s quite a wide umbrella as I’ve included an Absinthe Green Fairy along with the more traditional Victorian winged fairies) there are birds (and a bird cage), the birth of Venus, Pre-Raphaelite beauties, a mermaid and some cherubs.

Pin Back with Bail
Nice idea: give your gift recipient (or yourself) the option of wearing your creation as a pin or as a pendant. Will need to be glued onto the back of your artwork. Shown at right on the back of one of the new wide brass doors.

And finally, as you may need to add a hole to turn a brass door into a pendant, I’ve put the
Mighty Punch Kit
on sale! Durable and easy to use (really! even with my gimpy carpel-tunnel wrists); no electricity required. Ideal for cold connections and creating jewelry components. It will Punch through metals up to 16 gauge in thickness.
