Kathleen's eye portrait, enlarged
Jason's eye portrait, enlarged
I've ordered this pearled brooch from Nancy Still's MiniArt Supply as a nice way for Kathleen to wear her own eye portrait or her husband's
Here are the completed eye portraits of friend, fellow artist, and blogger Kathleen Coy and her husband, Jason Coy. The pearled brooch above is just one example of how an eye portrait can be worn. These portraits are my gift to Kathleen and Jason.

Very interesting, Mona - I had never heard of eye portraits before. These are really nice.
Absolutely gorgeous eye portraits! I also love the idea of using a brooch as a frame.
