three pins

these pins are incredibly entertaining for me to make. You could say that they are somethign close to 'instant gratification' although, thinking back on it, they are certainly *not* instant. Many steps go into these, starting from making the glass beads out in my garage studio (how will I continue torch work when it's cold outside??? :( to bending the wire, hardening the wire, sharpening the tip of the pine and then cleaning up any scratches or dings i've done to the metal... at any rate, I really enjoy making them.
