I ordered this pearled brooch from Nancy Still's MiniArt Supply, because I thought it would be a lovely way to for Kathleen to enjoy wearing either her own eye portrait or her husband's.
Here are the finished eye portraits of friend, artist, and fellow blogger, Kathleen Coy and her husband Jason Coy. They were such great subjects to paint, and such willing participants! These two portraits are my gift for them with my thanks, but if eye portraits are of interest, or if you'd like to commission your own eye portrait, I welcome you to visit my newest blog, Eye Portraits in Miniature, for more information.

Great job Mona and thanks for taking the extra effort to inform everyone on the history of eye minis. Love the brooch you picked out too.
What a wonderfully original idea! Love the eyes and what a personal way to enjoy them. Really cool.
