I got five wonderful and wonderfully tiny tintypes from Genevieve at Boxlots on Etsy.com. These lovely little tintypes were probably originally intended to be put into a locket or some similar keepsake item. Each one measures approximately 1/2" x 3/4". I couldn't bear the thought of framing them and losing all that great metallic feel. Just sticking them to the wall didn't seem like a good solution, either. So I decided they needed little easels. Does anyone sell teeny, tiny little easels? Of course not.
After a couple of failures, I eventually came up with a prototype that was workable. Here's the result. Let me know if you recognize anyone in the pictures!
