I've been trying to design a new profile pic though I do rather like my old penny. It even has the year I was born on ! However it's not showing up in pictures of followers on other blogs - leaving me a shadow !


Here's one I made earlier ! Loving rustic bird houses, duck egg blue, rusty hearts & brown paper bags - I put them all together. Umm, I wonder what my art teacher would say !
Anyway, for now the penny will stay.
I love finding out what sayings mean so where better to start than.... "Like a Bad Penny"
"....To arrive at a place or event where you are not wanted...She'll turn up again like a bad penny - just you see."
It doesn't really explain bad penny though !
I hope I haven't been turning up where I'm not wanted on your Blogs !!!

  1. There seems to be several explanations around from wanting a shilling but only getting a penny to pennies being weighted so that flipping a coin is 50/50. A badly made one wouldn't flip evenly! I'm sure you're able to flip really well ;> Like the rustic duck eggy bag. x

  5. I suggest... put the penny on a black background and have low level raking light to highlight the detail on the coin. That will make it stand out a bit more.

    You can't afford second or third thoughts... you've only got a penny!
