It's about time. This new post is just an excuse to share some pictures from the new spring Erdem collection, and...enthuse a little.<br />Check out these lovelies.... <br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xX5xoC41TLE/TWD4EYonsiI/AAAAAAAAARk/baUd8aTnTUk/s1600/erdem3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xX5xoC41TLE/TWD4EYonsiI/AAAAAAAAARk/baUd8aTnTUk/s320/erdem3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575729092900663842" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--0AP0YmujSc/TWD4EUsR7KI/AAAAAAAAARc/cxO8gDpTqRM/s1600/Erdem2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 291px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--0AP0YmujSc/TWD4EUsR7KI/AAAAAAAAARc/cxO8gDpTqRM/s320/Erdem2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575729091842272418" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UKahp3sCY3c/TWD4EO86KOI/AAAAAAAAARU/mn5tOmtGhb0/s1600/erdem%2B1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UKahp3sCY3c/TWD4EO86KOI/AAAAAAAAARU/mn5tOmtGhb0/s320/erdem%2B1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575729090301405410" /></a><br /><br />I love how the detail envelopes the wearer. The motifs are placed in such a way that the embroidery and print seem to be growing up and around the garment. The combination of chiffon, lace, embroidery and layering is a winner I think. The colours are quite yummy too...GEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-21291867164774161502010-09-27T12:23:00.000-07:002010-09-27T12:48:05.426-07:00New autumn finds...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TKDvve1sWLI/AAAAAAAAARE/9UvfEWi7pKk/s1600/fox4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TKDvve1sWLI/AAAAAAAAARE/9UvfEWi7pKk/s320/fox4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521676742167386290" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TKDvvNnsjcI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/TjAkMeNGTXM/s1600/fox3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TKDvvNnsjcI/AAAAAAAAAQ8/TjAkMeNGTXM/s320/fox3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521676737545276866" /></a><br /><br /><br />A few newies in the shop...

This also means I can spend more time trawling around lots of lovely second hand shops and boutiques, and of course dedicate more time to making things for my new shop that will be opening very soon.<br /><br />Today is SWELTERING, and i am doodling around indoors pressing letraset onto gift tags (that will later be attached to my buttons and pendants) and then I am hitting the BEACH. Well, the banks of the thames estuary.<br /><br />In the meantime, here are a few pics from an etsy seller who I think is particularly inspirational and original...Marmod8. Have a look at their shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/marmod8">here</a>. Beautiful.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TCHCrcQg6DI/AAAAAAAAAPU/NzySiBiiIEQ/s1600/marmod+brooch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TCHCrcQg6DI/AAAAAAAAAPU/NzySiBiiIEQ/s320/marmod+brooch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485879872689596466" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TCHCrHAx8SI/AAAAAAAAAPM/iy3EUtU5EEc/s1600/marmod+bird+earrings.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TCHCrHAx8SI/AAAAAAAAAPM/iy3EUtU5EEc/s320/marmod+bird+earrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485879866986459426" /></a>GEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-47430203838401291032010-06-11T06:07:00.000-07:002010-06-11T06:31:21.145-07:00Blog Feature...My goodness, it's almost been a month since I last posted...!<br />Well, a few updates... Several weeks ago I was lucky enough to be chosen at random to be featured on the Creation Collaboration bloghop <a href="http://creationcollaborationblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/collaboration-women-wednesday-blog-hop_26.html">See the post here</a>. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to answer a few questions about what it is I do, and what I like doing the most...etc. So thanks very much to you Creation Collaboration. And if you are a fellow female designer/maker then join the blog/blog hop to support them please!<br /><br />I have also been in the process of opening up another online shop :) All details will be revealed very soon.<br /><br />Meanwhile I will leave you with a pair of gorgeous vintage-y chairs. These, I think, are quite beautiful.<br /> <br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TBI54FWwpeI/AAAAAAAAAPE/s5zKm92o4sI/s1600/chairs.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/TBI54FWwpeI/AAAAAAAAAPE/s5zKm92o4sI/s320/chairs.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481507332136412642" /></a>GEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-55766598308773128902010-05-19T04:13:00.000-07:002010-05-19T04:43:33.822-07:00Listing, listing and more listings.At last my etsy shop is open, and I've been frantically listing things, and tweeting about them at a hundred miles an hour.<br /><br />I think I've completely under-estimated the power of twitter to promote products and listings. I highly recommend twitter if you have something you want to advertise or tell people about. <br /><br />Amongst my listings are a silver <a href="http://http://www.etsy.com/listing/47405808/silver-owl-pendant">Mr Owl</a> pendant, and a <a href="http://http://www.etsy.com/listing/47332014/black-and-white-checkered-sequin">black and white checkered sequin cocktail ring...</a><br /><br />Anyway, in addition to spending ridiculous amounts of time listing, I also spotted an interesting little blog on etsy which is all about the massive Renegade Craft Fair which is held every year in Austin, Texas. Looks like an absolutely brilliant day out.

My computer has at last been fixed! I am very excited as this means I can get my etsy shop up and running in the next few days. I am also excited by the fact that my new and improved computer is working at three times the speed as it was before. Hooray. No more waiting for ten minutes for the internet and photoshop to load, and no more sore eyes from too much looking at a loading screen. Hooray indeed.<br /><br />I will of course post on here when it is at last up and running!<br /><br /><br />xGEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-50604661684048034032010-04-22T02:19:00.000-07:002010-04-22T02:37:16.445-07:00Updates, new jewellery, and the countdown to etsy begins!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYL7AGagI/AAAAAAAAAO8/LQ5xczB992o/s1600/bee7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYL7AGagI/AAAAAAAAAO8/LQ5xczB992o/s320/bee7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462892941096151554" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYLXuKYKI/AAAAAAAAAO0/xpg5j_AhMYg/s1600/bee10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYLXuKYKI/AAAAAAAAAO0/xpg5j_AhMYg/s320/bee10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462892931625672866" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYK97BDWI/AAAAAAAAAOs/FoPl6BMmXKs/s1600/bee8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYK97BDWI/AAAAAAAAAOs/FoPl6BMmXKs/s320/bee8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462892924700265826" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYKe80jqI/AAAAAAAAAOk/bZOhZwjXDTY/s1600/bee5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYKe80jqI/AAAAAAAAAOk/bZOhZwjXDTY/s320/bee5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462892916386336418" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYKFVBOcI/AAAAAAAAAOc/UHf6LynbEjY/s1600/bee4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S9AYKFVBOcI/AAAAAAAAAOc/UHf6LynbEjY/s320/bee4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462892909508508098" /></a><br />Here are a few bits to add to the collection... A little gold teacup pendant, on a brass chain and a brass locket with a hand-sequined inside.<br /><br />I have also recently set up a facebook page, so I can keep friends informed of my new creative ventures, etc. So if you are passing, please feel free to join or 'like' if you so wish. Just click on the magpie feather at the top right of my blog.<br /><br />I also hope to get my etsy shop up and running in the next 24 hours, (or hopefully before the weekend!) so when it is finally open, I will post on here with a link.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />xGEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-35203960323646632912010-04-17T05:13:00.001-07:002010-04-18T14:29:02.777-07:00Newies ( in new colours)<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8t5ki11ptI/AAAAAAAAAOU/faHc2HsIsf8/s1600/new+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8t5ki11ptI/AAAAAAAAAOU/faHc2HsIsf8/s320/new+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461592641851729618" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8nT_jZZCPI/AAAAAAAAAOM/BUK5TjooVU0/s1600/new+6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8nT_jZZCPI/AAAAAAAAAOM/BUK5TjooVU0/s320/new+6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461129111950395634" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8nT_PrgvSI/AAAAAAAAAOE/kD5aSt_bN0A/s1600/new+4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8nT_PrgvSI/AAAAAAAAAOE/kD5aSt_bN0A/s320/new+4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461129106657688866" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8mrPMbuFxI/AAAAAAAAANk/dzXGYdGS9kI/s1600/new17.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8mrPMbuFxI/AAAAAAAAANk/dzXGYdGS9kI/s320/new17.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461084300687316754" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8mrOx4uBjI/AAAAAAAAANc/42lOZfIoo7U/s1600/new13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8mrOx4uBjI/AAAAAAAAANc/42lOZfIoo7U/s320/new13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461084293561189938" /></a><br />I have been making most of the easter holidays, and have managed to finish off a few things on my 'unfinished' list! Here is a hand-embroidered butterfly pendant with brass chain, an Art Deco inspired necklace, and at last my dear little pendants that I bought now have somewhere to hang, as I have made use of the silver chain that I purchased from the 'i found gallery'.<br />I will post more creations in the coming week, so stay tuned...GEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-88717572528136781492010-04-09T08:57:00.002-07:002010-04-10T11:00:36.267-07:00Teacups, NEW colours, and an art deco button...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8hQuEsLI/AAAAAAAAANM/jqy2bJ9yHus/s1600/new+4+pic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8hQuEsLI/AAAAAAAAANM/jqy2bJ9yHus/s320/new+4+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458570027982958770" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8hCwg9AI/AAAAAAAAANE/2BYdFoDcfIg/s1600/new+3+pic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8hCwg9AI/AAAAAAAAANE/2BYdFoDcfIg/s320/new+3+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458570024235103234" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8gY7pMOI/AAAAAAAAAM8/aiYqkcZW9ug/s1600/no.5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S8C8gY7pMOI/AAAAAAAAAM8/aiYqkcZW9ug/s320/no.5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458570013007491298" /></a><br /><br />These new jewellery findings are from the 'i found gallery' which i mentioned in my last post, there is an original circa 1930's art deco vintage button, tiny gold teacups, a brass locket, and some lovely 'aged' silver chain.

It's called the 'i found gallery', and there's everything from oxidized silver necklace chain to art deco buttons and ornate stamps. The shipping is a little expensive, but I haven't found anywhere else that sells such an extensive range... Take a look <a href="http://www.ifoundgallery.com/site/">here</a><br /><br />And also, these are the new additions to my accessories collection which will be on etsy in a few weeks time...<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CjcduIfmI/AAAAAAAAALE/iB8onFXp0Ho/s1600/IMG_1865.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CjcduIfmI/AAAAAAAAALE/iB8onFXp0Ho/s320/IMG_1865.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454038858155458146" /></a>Black and white checkered sequin ring<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CjcExW23I/AAAAAAAAAK8/ZODm88BJAeU/s1600/IMG_1861.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CjcExW23I/AAAAAAAAAK8/ZODm88BJAeU/s320/IMG_1861.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454038851458095986" /></a>Gold and silver sequin ring<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfFj27pTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/FfJiC37BFBg/s1600/IMG_1851.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfFj27pTI/AAAAAAAAAK0/FfJiC37BFBg/s320/IMG_1851.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454034066619475250" /></a>Black and white checkered sequin earrings<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfFBaP3lI/AAAAAAAAAKs/-1VX5kDzbMM/s1600/IMG_1835.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfFBaP3lI/AAAAAAAAAKs/-1VX5kDzbMM/s320/IMG_1835.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454034057372360274" /></a>Black and white sequin buttons<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfEU0lR5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/98mvTiLtUm8/s1600/IMG_1833.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfEU0lR5I/AAAAAAAAAKk/98mvTiLtUm8/s320/IMG_1833.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454034045403219858" /></a>Black sequin earrings<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfEHC_X0I/AAAAAAAAAKc/iDRc3onMuL0/s1600/IMG_1823.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfEHC_X0I/AAAAAAAAAKc/iDRc3onMuL0/s320/IMG_1823.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454034041705553730" /></a>Pink and Rainbow sequin buttons<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfDrxlk4I/AAAAAAAAAKU/Kw8VxdW-OfY/s1600/IMG_1820.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S7CfDrxlk4I/AAAAAAAAAKU/Kw8VxdW-OfY/s320/IMG_1820.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454034034384802690" /></a>Gold and silver sequin buttonsGEORGIE BAKER DESIGNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12597798131094212735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795556862451576332.post-10139499902810047642010-03-16T07:29:00.001-07:002010-03-16T07:35:42.799-07:00New things...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WfNwJC_I/AAAAAAAAAKE/H0RSIYnO9x8/s1600-h/IMG_1812.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WfNwJC_I/AAAAAAAAAKE/H0RSIYnO9x8/s320/IMG_1812.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449239537153281010" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WenSlbnI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/L4rm1NxzmGE/s1600-h/IMG_1816.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WenSlbnI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/L4rm1NxzmGE/s320/IMG_1816.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449239526828764786" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WeEVKdvI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/LiKQWxa_NoM/s1600-h/IMG_1817.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sYHbN9U1bTk/S5-WeEVKdvI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/LiKQWxa_NoM/s320/IMG_1817.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449239517444339442" /></a><br /><br />Unintentionally, these black and white buttons turned out slightly mosaic-y.
