I was making balsa wood frames for the backs of the clown collages, to make them nice and sturdy and stable and hangable. And I was ending up with random little off-cuts, not much use for anything, but a shame to throw away. I'd been thinking of making badges for ages, and I started whiting up the off-cuts with ink and drawing words and stuff on them. Rather fun to make, and wear. Indeed, I did wear this one for a few days, just to road test it. I thought I'd stick this one on etsy for a couple of months and see what happened. If no-one buys it, I'll just wear it myself again.
