fabric on a stick

dabney made use of her pool-side time in florida by starting production on things for the renegade craft fair. besides the embroidery, she also did a project using leftover fabric, bits of cotton balls, and toothpicks she couldn't help but buy in japan last spring. at the time, she had no idea what to do with them (who wants to actually use such great toothpicks to pluck spinach out of their teeth or to skewer cheese?) but then wound up making these. ann starting calling them the kebab pins, and the name stuck.
