Winkie Con Rosettes...Mission Accomplished!

The Wizard of Oz-themed rosettes are complete and just about ready for shipping, yay! I thought I was going to have to recruit some help, but I managed to get them done (about 170 of them) all by my lonesome.
Each one is in its own resealable cellophane bag just waiting for the little cards I'm going to include with them. This is where I cried uncle and asked Dawn to design something for me I can print on the laser printer and then cut to size. The card stock will identify the source and also provide some stability when they're put into the tote bags.
Popping up the center image was a great idea, it gives them depth. The magnets look tiny, but they're extra powerful. So powerful, in fact, I have to pair them up back-to-back or they jump around on their own! I didn't want them to be wimpy, useless magnets, I wanted them to be able to actually hold things in place, not slide down the surface of wherever they're going to be placed.
The set consists of "The Magic of Oz," Dorothy, The Great and Powerful Oz, Galinda the Good Witch, The Wicked Witch of The West, The Scarecrow, The Lion, and The Tin Man. Here's a couple of close-ups (click on images for even better view).

I'm very pleased with how they turned out and hope they make everyone who gets them happy.

A Gazillion Rosettes

The last of the Winkie con rosettes have been assembled and inked! They look like something from the sea, don't they?! I love all the subtle colors of grey, green and vintage-y brown.

The next step will be to attach the centers. I'm thinking of popping them up with pop dots to give them some dimension. The final steps will be to attach the magnets, which should arrive in about 3 weeks, bag them individually, then send them to the Land of Oz (well, sort of). This has been such a fun project!
