Not happy...

... with the mini art feeling 'happy'.
Since creating it, I always had this feeling it was not right somehow. Perhaps because I made a 'happy' before and I liked that one much better?
So, when the feeling happy expired on Etsy, I decided to make a new one which would make me much happier... The stamp of the little flower just did not scream happy to me.
I replaced it to another one which has a more visible texture.
I think I need to see 'happy' more clearly and this certainly does make me happy! :)
Now I wonder how you feel about happy...

    Well they're both beautiful. but the first one looks more like "feeling pleased" and the second more like "feeling happy" :)

    I like them both! The second one is bolder, like saying "happy!" louder, but I love the small flower print of the first one too, like being quietly content :)

    I think the 'new' one does reflect 'happy' better but I honestly like the first one a little better ;)

    The first one is like the happy after a nice compliment but the second one is like the happy from your first sale, the dancing around the room kind of happy!

    The new version is more outgoing. Like it better than the first one, although that one was also happy :D

    I agree with the comment that the first one looks content and calm, whereas the second one is HAPPY! I like them both though.

    YEah... new happy is prettier... happier... or bolder in its happiness... :)
    They are both really pretty anyway, but the second one is more tactile!

    they are both lovely, but I agree, the second one POPS happy more than the first. The first is more content.

    I like them both. I think second is better while the flowers are more recognisabel in one vieuw . But that's called growing in your craft isn't it!

    I do like the little flowers on the first one, but the second one is more clear I think. And yay for happy feelings :)

    i actually like both:)
    3d version is great (but in my opinion flowers could be smaller or less regularly placed. maybe ;))
    cheers!

    First of all: I really like the new happy feeling.

    BUT: I think that the feeling happiness is not always the same even in one person. Sometimes when I am happy I feel like a meadow with flowers (and your babuschka refers to it), but sometimes I am so happy that I cannot talk, cannot do anything just floating in a cloud, which feels like cotton candy. :-) (This latter is the case now :-) )

    The now one definitely is more happy than the first one, yes! :)

    But well, what about a big, laughing mouths cut out of the feeling?

    Oh I like the second one much more Mitsy! I like the kind of 3D appeal rather than the flat stamped look. Very pretty, and VERY happy! :)

    I personal like the delicate happiness of the first one, but the second version is much more obviously happy!

    I like the new happy as well. It's screaming happy.

    I think your new design is bursting with happiness because the flowers are on top of the statue (extravert). In your first design , the flowerform is pressed into the statue (intravert).
    The first is a 'glimlach', the second is a 'schaterlach'
