I cant step away from the damn word pen, pin, pins.. i want to work with metal pins but i have never done that, i don't know how to use a sauntering iron, i dont even know if thats how you spell it i just use spell check. I want to use something cheap and if possible recycled... i have so much going on its hard to even think about some stupid object right now... i pick tacks or some sort of metal pushpin, formally they are chrome, in silver or gold, hard metal, sharp, capable of drawing blood or being very uncomfortable upon being stabbed with one, they are used to hang things, they are shaped like nails almost, little mushrooms of steel, smooth.

its function to me seems basic, it can hang things or it could be used to poke holes in things. context doesn't usually effect a pushpin it seems to me, does that mean this is a good object or horrible object? hopefully after this artist research i will have a better idea than a pushpin.
