I Think I'm going to make lots more of these and I've ordered some ridiculously small, very cute, deep sided stretched canvases , only 5x4 inches , to display them.
I see a wall full, either rows of them or in a square block.
I wish for now though that I could just get them together in a rectangle for this blog.
For subtlety and relief from vulgar colours, do visit Karens blog.
Its cool, calm, tasteful and relaxing.

i love the color ranges in these small units, just fabulous.
These are beautiful and so unusual!
Lovely shapes and colour combinations. They remind me of extra special jigsaw pieces and I think your idea of displaying them on those tiny artists canvases is a great idea. They'd look great decorating a small space or massed in a larger one.
More nice pieces. I like the bright colors, but these are nice too.
Jackie, i'm totally in love with these. Try making them into a "panorama" in your photo edit program.
Ha! Ha! Ha! There's room for both subtle and vulgar colours!!! Me, the older I get the more I can tick off the list of things in the "When I'm old I shall wear purple" poem........ I used to "do" subtle colours, but veer evermore towards the bright and colourful. Your work is lovely. x
what vulgar colours? I think these are delightful
These just keep getting better and better!!!
I love the way the colours blend into each other.
Lovely work Jackie.x
Quite agree, on those little chunky canvases your gorgeous work will look fabulous. x
Vulgar colours? I don't think so!!! I've never been a fan of pastels. Great idea to mount them on little artist canvases...perfect.
Love them!
Wonderfully like both protozoa and illuminated letters. Okay to right click and link from my blog Tinytheatre?

they are wonderful
These are also wonderful. And yesterday I read your article in Quilting Arts Magazine. Great to read!
Aw shucks! Thanks for that and your colours are anything but vulgar, more vibrant, life affirming, energetic, vivacious......I could go on! (would probably have to get a thesaurus out though!
I just love this new shape, they are like beautiful little alien creatures and they make me smile!

My copy of QA came at last - great article - and I see that we share a few sources of inspiration ...
So beautiful! It looks like colors from a coral reef.
Very arty very cool, they will look so good on canvases.I've been wondering what they reminded me of and Heather said it - crazy jigsaw pieces!!
these are just darling! Lovely colours!
Seeing a collection of your "bug" brooches in little canvases would be delightful, I can't wait.
I cant wait to see them displayed on your small canvases...it will look amazing! I'm loving all of these fantastic shapes and vibrant colour combinations!

They are just soooooo gorguous !!!
they make me smile - the way they're escaping in all directions! and the beautiful colours.
These are just knocking my socks off, lady! (And there is nothing vulgar about them!) They will indeed look great displayed as you have planned!
Jackie, all your work is so joyous. I love coming to visit your blog - it is a delight, and these pieces are great. Congratulations re: the Quilting Arts article as well. Wonderful.

They are FABULOUS and I adore the colours (not a fan of pastels and creams myself). They'll look perfect on mini canvases - great idea!

I can see a wall filled with mini canvases each with one of your brooches on it!! It could be a grouping of 6 or 60 either way it would be stunning and it would be so easy to rearrange the order at any time. Sign me up I want a set of screaming oragne and hot pink with turquoise thread!!! No calming needed here!!!!!
Seriously let me know the moment yo have sets for sale!!
Hugs!

That wall will look wonderful. I am loving this collection - the colours and the shapes!
i love these - they have a slightly amoeba-ish look to them and the colours are stunning :)
lovely strong forms, lots of energy ... ooh jackie i wish i was clever and popular like you, i just tried to give something away, it must be really crappy ?
id send you some tweed but it looks so dull next to this amazing work, love the ideas of the canvases too ...
Thank you for visiting my blog. I have been following your blog for some time now and I love your work, the wonderful colours and textures. My weekend has been a bit!!! busy but I am now going to sit down with a cup of tea with my magazine and read your article.
I love the shapes you create...they look like something from a bygone year..which decorated cloakes for ancient kings and quens...have a nice week...H
How happy am I to find your blog!
I'm a felt artist from Hungary, in love with detail work and emroidered felt pieces. Your art makes my heart skipping around. :o)
Wooly regards

I think these are ACE!
I love the colours and the shapes - they are brilliant!
What a fantastic idea. They are lovely.
I just received my Quilting Arts this morning and read your wonderful article. Congrats!
Small, perfectly formed and not remotely vulgar...shame I can't say the same about me really! x;0)
Brilliant idea! I LOVE those teeny canvases! I just put a link to this post on my blog. I hope it brings you a few extra visitors.
