Spikes?

Does anyone know of a site that sells some metal spikes as beads? I got an idea in my head, but I need some beads like that, and we don't have any around here. :(

a few months ago someone posted a link to a bag at karmaloop.com w/ felt blueberry appliques so i decided to make my own.

( here is the story, in full )

first post from me here.

I had to pick a poem and then do a visual on it, and I was going to do some sort of model and a photograph journal type thing of it.

This is the poem, and I chose it because the laundry line really stood out to me.

And I've just come back from all the picture taking of clothes pegged on a clothesline, the sun, etc.

How should I display the photos? I was thinking of a book type of thing, but this is going to presented to a class of people, almost all who have short attention spans.


Also, does anyone have any ideas/thoughts about my model? I know what I sort of want it to look like [the view from a window, with a clothesline outside] but I don't know how else to portray the poem in there.

Ok, so I started making jewelry a year and a half ago or so - I tried using beads and wire - but cutting the wire, filing it down, working with the pliers, etc was getting to me more recently because of medical problems. So I tried stringing stuff but found I didn't like what I could with that as much - hated crimping off the ends, and had no patience for learning stitches. So... when detholalle made this post, her chainmail bracelet inspired me. I don't have the kind of rings that would work best for making chainmail designs, but I do, err did have a LOT of jump rings that I was not using - so I tried a simple pattern and ended up making a necklace with them. I'm a little sad that the details are missing in the pics - each larger jump ring (about 140 right now) is connected using smaller jump rings (almost 400) - two small jump rings for each side and 2 to connect the bottom row to the top row. I might add a third row, on the top, to balance out the necklace a bit more (the charm and dangles add a little weight on the bottom row, so the top kind of droops at times and I THINK that adding a third row might fix that.

Here are some toothbrush bracelets I made. I like the green one a lot better than the purple one.

Purses

I have now added the chain maille purse and fur purse to my website. If anyone would like to check them out and give me some feedback, here is the site:
Purse Page
The fur purse was inspired by lorigami and her entry here.

I also added my Barbell necklace to my jewelry page, here.
