WHAT IN THE WORLD IS #6 TALKING ABOUT & WHAT IS WHITE GLASS = THE PIN HEADS? IF SO WHERE DO I BUY THEN = ARE THEY REGULAR SEWING PINS? I UNDERSTAND USING THE PAINT BRUSH ENDS BECAUSE THEY MAKE PERFECT ROUND CIRCLES BUT WHAT IS SCULPTED HIGH GLOSS & WHERE CAN YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT? IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ME TO BUY NEEDED ITEMS ONLINE, CAN YOU REFER ME TO CORRECT SIGHTS? MOST OF ALL PICTURE TUTORIAL WOULD BE AWESOME!

Yeah. This wasn't really a helpful article. As a journalist for 25 years and a reader for many more, I have learned that writers generally make better writers than do crafters. I'd suggest that in the future you come at the subject matter with the assumption that the reader is looking for information about something with which they are not familiar. -
