Wellllll...after much perfecting of and reworking of one of the oldest Black Apple products, the "Cameo Pins", they're finally back in action and (a limited amount) are available in the shop.
I agonized over the packaging, because I wanted a simple card they could be "pinned" to, but this proved a little tricky...Happily, I finally got a design that I was happy with for the backing cards, sent them to the printers, and finished up a whole big batch, some for the shop, and some to keep for Renegade (two weeks!!!!).
Here's a gaggle of them hanging out on their cards:
Oh, huzzah...I am so happy with these. I love the feel of them. They remind me of some sort of game-piece or token, but they have such a delicate quality, too.
PS: I just checked, and they're already starting to fly away! Hop on over if there is one you're particularly keen on.
xoxo, sweet peas!

These are really cute. What kind of material are they printed on? I wondered if they are like a plastic or ceramic. I will be at Renegade so I will check all your goods out for sure!

I love them. I wish I could get one but I am broke until I get paid tomorrow and they will all be gone by then :(
I saw this on MySpace today. I don't know if you knew about it.

These are gorgeous!
I too was intrigued as to what they are made of... plastic/fabric/card/porcelain?
Too sweet.

Your "cameo pins" are just precious. There's always something special about teeny tiny art pieces. :-)

Hi Emily!
I visit your site often. You are so very talented! I love your work, especially the silhouettes! I was wondering, what kind of digital camera do you use to capture the details of your mini works? I plan to start selling on Etsy soon, and am looking for a decent camera to photograph my work. Thanks for your advice and best wishes at Renegade!

Ohh too bad! Too busy today to sit and now when I do...sure enough, I missed something good going on. Very cute pins! Another successful venture Emily!
Helen · June 01, 2007 at 03:37 AM
Nooo! Please make more available. I love them so! I love your blog and your art. You will rock at Renegade. You need to visit Southern California sometime with your goods. Perhaps the Felt Club XL show?
Kristine · June 01, 2007 at 03:53 AM

ellen · June 01, 2007 at 06:23 AM
Emily you really do a wonderful job at putting together a very wonderful feel to your "brand", it is the lovely attention to details that you give that make you the success that you are.
the cameos and you are wonderful.

Dude, I really hate that while I can read your blog, I am blocked from the shop while I'm at work (darn government Big Brother)!
If they are all gone when I get home, I'm going to cry, I swear.
Kara · June 01, 2007 at 10:00 AM
So cute! I'm sad that I missed them. Lovely though... really, really lovely! :)
tiffany · June 01, 2007 at 10:09 AM
Love your new pins! The packaging is perfect.
esoule · June 01, 2007 at 11:31 AM
Will you have some available at Renegade? I have been saving my wallet for then. :)
Marilyn · June 01, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Wow, those are fabulous! You did a great job. They're perfect and match your shop so well!
tangerined · June 01, 2007 at 12:25 PM
sniffles...but I wanted a little jackalope baby of my own...on a pin...I hope you make more later. By the way, I met a friend of yours at Etsy labs last week!
Aloka · June 01, 2007 at 12:57 PM
Awe, I love your work. Love the pins!
Today I hung two prints of you in our kitchen (it took a while before I found some framing -the prints are in an odd size for Dutch frame shops-). Those cute prints (hedgehog hello & little Amelie) make me so happy, I just go in and out the kitchen to see them again and again.
And now I want some more!
silvita · June 01, 2007 at 04:03 PM
those are fantastic. are they ceramic or plastic or something else?
kiwi · June 01, 2007 at 04:22 PM
man! your stuff just flies out of the store. i sooooooooooooo wish i could go to renegade and meet you. i might have my friend, jill, stop by and buy me something from you.
risa · June 01, 2007 at 04:39 PM
please sir - will you make some more?
Jodie · June 02, 2007 at 06:22 AM
Gosh.. I blinked and I missed them. (very sad!)
Janice · June 02, 2007 at 08:42 AM
Em, once again, brilliant! I, of course, missed them all (I'm not very good at stalking you am i?). And where did those adorable pillow cases your newest dolls are leaning on from. I love those too. xo
