Stickpins

Not St Ickpin - the patron saint of brooches, but the lapel brooch of the same name. I discovered this was a really constructive way of using those 'components' which were originally made for designs that never materialised!
I also made a couple of larger ones to see where it went, and I'm pleased with the result - I may just make a few more and put 'em up for sale.
Not writing a huge amount this morning, I have the back from hell, and even had to cancel my physiotherapy session in the hydro pool tomorrow! Here's a piccy.................

  4. Those are really great, and what a wonderful idea. I have lots of left over pieces that I usually give away to someone who does not do seed bead work.

    I would love to see a picture of the back, or at least a picture of the finding.
