Holly Kellogg used one of my headpins and I absolutely LOVE how she incorporated it into her necklace. I've been questioning myself on whether or not it's really necessary to use four inch lengths of wire or less. I've wondered if the majority of that wire would just get snipped off and discarded. But Holly used the whole thing!
Look! Just look at this beautiful work of art!
On another note, I have over 75 beads soaking in my kitchen sink. They are patiently waiting on me to get out my dremel and clean out their holes. The sheer number is rather daunting, so I have been procrastinating about even starting. I need to just jump in already and do 10 here and 10 there so I can get it done and share pics with you. Can you believe that when I took off from work on Monday to celebrate my birthday and get new tags that I was able to make 60 beads?!

YES!! A super cool necklace!! I can't wait to see all your beads Kelley!!
Yes, that's so nice.
I think it is better to have to much wire so I can snip it off. Sometimes the opposite happens, I hate that, have to come up with kind of second class solutions just for the sake of the look, or just totally skip the idea, which I tend to do more often nowadays. It is a bummer when it happens.
Thanks for sharing.

thanks so much for your kind words, kelley! and i say KEEP THE 4 INCHES!!!
i can't wait to see the new 75!!!!
Great necklace.
You're a MACHINE!!! I love what she did with your headpin, very unusual, and it really gives it top billing! I would love an ultra long headpin, because I double wrap virtually everything--I wrap down to the bead, and then up again. I love the more robust look. And copper's not too expensive, esp. if you buy it by the pound, so I would for sure keep doing that! It makes them even more versatile.
Beautiful necklace! I say grab a margarita and drill away. Um...maybe that's not such a good idea. :)
Holly did a wonderful job with the necklace! I love it! She also has a great Etsy store.
I love the long headpins, I think you allow so much more flexibility with them that way. Can't wait to see all those guys cleaned up :)
Your head pin (bead pin?) is used brilliantly in that necklace.
I think it is better to sniff off excess length than not being able to incorporate a piece, because the wire is too short.
