"penny. *everything* is better with bluetooth."

[jaina]

When I put together my Penny costume for WonderCon, I made a Pennyblossom to go with it. (For non-Big Bang Theory watchers: in a second-season episode, Penny starts making sparkly flower barrettes, called Pennyblossoms, and wants to turn it into a business. The boys get involved, and hilarity ensues.) The show actually put up a fake Pennyblossoms website, featuring the greatest gift you can give to an accuracy-obsessed costumer: a big, clear picture of the actual hair clip.

In order to buy enough supplies to make one Pennyblossom, I basically had to buy enough to make 20. So I decided to make a few from what I had left over and put them up for sale on Etsy. I figured they might be fun, subtly geeky things for people to wear, especially to something like Comic-Con or Dragon*Con.

So-- my store, Bright Copper Penny, is open for business! :) The pictures below link to the different barrettes I currently have up. I have more flowers and rhinestones that I haven't made up yet, so I could do custom orders as well. Feel free to link around if you know someone who might be interested!

Here's what they look like on a head:

That's so cool! I totally bought a bunch of flowers like those at a show I was working because I was like OMG PENNY BLOSSOMS! XD

Yours are so pretty!

Oh, Big Bang Theory. I saw Penny, and I hoped in vain that you made Inspector Gadget costumes.

They put up a website? Excuse me while I LOL! :D

(I miss the show already. Hurry up, autumn, and bring joy back to my Mondays!)

I do have a light blue flower, but the color on them is slightly uneven-- basically there are tiny speckles of darker blue on it. It's only visible up close. I can get you a picture tomorrow, when there's some natural light.

On hand, I have purple, light pink, and orange. On my way to me are more hot pink and (hopefully) yellow.

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, you did!? I hunted *all over* for the right flower-- I still didn't find the exact one, but I think I got pretty close.

Thank you!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

You know I love my sparkles!!!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Oooh, good idea!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

AHAHA your icon!!! "Then maybe you should let it go." "Allrighty."

Any time a show mentions a website, I always run and check to see if it really exists. HIMYM is particularly awesome at it!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

I love the picture! AWESOMESAUCE!

(Feedback me plz?)

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

And I love you for it! Will mail ASAP. :D Thanks!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! Love your icon!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thank you! Will mail it out to you ASAP! Yeah, we should totally all wear these together at D*C! :D

[amaz0n-princess.livejournal.com]

OF COURSE!

[princess-lesa.livejournal.com]

OMG!! Love them!

[brightcupenny.livejournal.com]

And by "tomorrow" I apparently meant a week-plus later. Sorry!!!

Here's a picture of the blue one I made for myself-- if you zoom in to the big size, you can see what I mean about the speckles. If it's OK with you, though, I'm happy to make you one. :)
