I am not alone: Bits on Wire / Headpins

I've been making these lampwork things on wire for a while now - and been feeling a bit like a voice in the wilderness. I mean, I'm not making beads here. There's a possibility that the bead police will show up and revoke my torch.

Except - while cruising pinterest looking for something else - I found lots of others making headpins in leaves and flowers and even vintage Czech stuff.

So that's cool. I am not alone after all.
