ORIGINAL: LadySeraphina ... Would you mind telling me where you get your needles (a medical supply store, somewhere else?) and how you affix the lovely feathers and flowers? ... Here are some sources I use for needles: http://www.kinkymedical.net http://www.medicalmailorder.com/ (best price) http://bmeshop.com/ http://playpiercingkits.com/ (sell some starter kits, as well as bulk needles) You may also be able to obtain needles from a Farm & Ranch type store, if there is one near you. You can buy a couple of a size to see how you like them. These will be veterinary needles - the bevel on them is not as acute, so they are better for multiple piercing of tougher animal hides, but aren't quite so sharp for the first insertion so they hurt more. If in individual sterile packaging, they are just as sterile as medical needles. However the ones that are sold loose are not sterile, so don't use those. Attach decorations like colored feathers or silk flowers with crafter's hot glue. You can get the feathers and the glue gun at a craft store like Ben Franklin or Michael's. Decorate the needles before you remove the sterile sheath Get a sharps container at WalMart Pharmacy; ask at the counter what to do with it when it is full. Local disposal regulations vary.
