I posted that amazing daisy lamp and then stopped by the Habitat for Humanity Restore on my way home via Starbucks. And they had this awesome industrial enameled pendant for $8!
Which is why I'm posting this:
I'm sure these are in my future.

Brilliant or Insane?
Monday, January 4, 2010
Brilliant because it's gorgeous. Insane because there are TWO! It took me 6-8 hours for the first one. (Stretched out over 2 days, of course). So this next one will be done Thursday.
How'd I do it? An iron-on transfer pen! I used a pattern from Peasant Designs, a Dover Publications book. (I'm pretty sure most of them are royalty free). I increased it 150% and then traced the design onto tracing paper, then flipped it and traced the reverse on a second piece of tracing paper. Then ironed them onto my $25 boots from Payless. I also busted out my colored pencils and traced a color guide onto a third piece of tracing paper. Above is my floss mess after 2 days of working piece by piece.
[edited to add boot #2 in process].
P.S. Totally inspired by petunia.
