Matchcoat (blanket) pin
« on: December 08, 2010, 07:54:22 PM »
A fellow emailed me today and asked me to make him a matchcoat (blanket) pin.  This is what I came up with. What do you think?

Wally, you rule! That is awesome my friend!

One thing to remember, you can't please everyone! But everyone here sure likes it though! There's always one!

nice job Pete .

did you ask him though what type of pin he wanted ?
 Have him draw you a picture
 historically such pins were often nothing more the  a tow worm .
 Maybe that’s what he was looking for

 You sure did a nice job on that though

What the heck didn't he like about it?  I think it looks awesome and you did a great job.  Like Captchee said, probably just not what the guy had in mind.

Thanks for the great comments! Since that fellow didn't want it I'm going to list it.
