Created it for a 12yr old. She wears it and hangs it on her pants or bag. She wanted something different from her friends. Now they want one as well. One of the girls wanted a bigger version of the "girlfriend p.o.v" spinner. This is the low tech version of I.M.
There are 19 charms; each is about 1.5 inches; some are dimensional, interactive, or have hidden areas. Made smaller sizes, .75" and .5"(this one is labor intensive).
What suprised me is that I was able to sell them as a kit. In addition to being wearable art, it can be used on a layout page, cards, bookmarks, whatever.
Initially when you create something it just for something particular then it evolves into other uses.

Kim thanx. I created them using adobe photoshop. I do a lot of computer generated projects. My stuff are mostly for kids to help them use both sides of their brain equally. Creativity is the game and fun is the result.
I think the spinners (e.g girlfriend p.o.v above) help them understand alignment, layering, designing, etc.
