Talking Re: Another Ornament
I use the little screw eyes, I buy them at the hardware store. I don't recall the size but they are very small, the inside diameter of the eye is about 1/16". Come like 50 in a pack for $2 or $3, seen the brass ones someplace but they where not as small and if I want i'll just paint the nickle ones.

Hey Corey, ya just keep crankin them out and they all look great to me. One thing I'd like to mention tho, I've switched from the screw eyes, I find them a little over powering for these little carvings. I bought a bunch of cheap fish hooks, cut them off at about 1/2 inch, drill a very small hole and plug 'em in with a dab of 5 min epoxy, they really do look a lot better.

Thanks all for the kind words. Cliff, if you go to the local hobby lobby and go to the jewelry making dept. they have some very very tiny little screw eyes in brass or silver tone. The hole is just big enough to get the wire through.
