Old fashion always come back

[scrollerpete]

I was asked to make some pins that were in fashion years ago, used to hold hair or/and shawls. Got a pattern from Sue May and made the followings. I enjoyed making them and my wife not so much of painting them. I hope the customer will be happy.

Interesting idea, what size are they in diameter out of curiosity?

[Roberta Moreton]

They would also be lovely pinning a scarf.

All are nicely done.

Excellent work Pete with your cutting and your wife’s painting. Thanks for showing. I am sure your customer will be happy.

Nice work!

Looks to me like they could be used as a self-defense weapon also.....  What made me think of that is I watch my Daughter and Grand Daughter discussing/showing how a keys on a key ring could be used as self-defense this week-end.
