With the recent world events lately, I often feel pride looking at our flag.
No matter what happens in the world or our country –those red, white and blue
colors stand for something. So instead of waiting for a national holiday, I will share with
you a design I made for a pin or brooch.
I made this several years ago right after 9-11.
US Love Brooch
