So this idea has been "baking" in my brain for several years. There have been several books printed now about tatting over cabone rings, and I had seen several gals tatting over large polished stone ring beads. I wondered if it would work as a pin keep to tat over a rare earth magnet. I bought magnets in several sizes and there they sat on my shelf ; / I finally remembered to pack them to ship to meet me in Montana. Sadly, they didn't show up until a day before I was leaving. But! I had bought new 'Lizbeth size 3 thread from Deb Arnold of DS9 Designs

I got the project started in Montana and finished it on the plane to come home. I did a simple 3 picot chain joining it around the magnet. Well...I had thought that I would need a metal washer of some sort to hold it to my jacket, but happened to have a PURPLE paperclip that Wendy Griffin, who needle tats,
