How To Make A Music Note Bracelet

Piercing plugs and seeds

The creation of piercing plant was established thanks to the request of a friend at a banquet that you break I break that led to the first experiment in this regard.

The problem now was how to create the asticina that enters the ear. Coincidentally at the time I had picked up some pins Azzeruolo (Crataegus azarolus ) which went well for the first piercing as long and slender, and usually have a few lenticels on their surface.
is worth spending a few words about what are the lenticels, or 'someone' does not understand ...


The lenticels is an opening for respiration of the plant (as well as leaf stomata), which is usually found on the surface of the trunk or branches, but also at the plug (Hawthorn and Blackthorn) The
structure of lenticels might suggest problems of rubbing against the inner ear; For this reason, initially, dotandomi great patience honed a plug at a time on a piece of sandpaper look forward to being completely smooth surface cord.
Then I had the good fortune to run into Gleditzia triacanthos plant imported from North America as landscaping in gardens and hedges to build impenetrable.


Gleditzia The plugs have the characteristic of being totally free of lenticels, and a godsend for the use to which I was going to apply them, also because of the implementation of some length and diversity of shapes and diameters well suited to various applications within the piercing (larger diameters, expansion, multiple plugs etc ...)
The results after three years of experimentation have been getting to create a line of piercing plant completely and allergy through an application suggested by others: it has come to create a folder in the plug is heated to Steam and get in shape for a day the plug. Another step will be the next coming years to change the pin (spring in spring) directly on the plant and then pick it formed in the fall ... as always a work in progress!
