#make-do

[scarecrowscribe]

Making myself a little needle felting tool. Various iterations and stages of completion. Copper wire, broken pen barrel casing. Intended to hold the needles at closer proximity than the larger punch tool, and to provide an easier grip.

Simplicity

Perhaps, simplicity at its best.  Four clothespins probably cut and carved from the same piece of wood or large branch. Or even from another item – a broken piece of furniture or architectural piece.  Salvaged and “made-do.”  The wood, the grain direction is all the same.

But then, to add a slight decorative touch, there are two inscribed lines – a set at the top and a set at the bottom.  A delicate, trace but something that gives it less of a utilitarian feel.  Someone took the time to add that to something that is used to hang your wash to dry.  Perfect. Simple. Beautiful.
