Ages and ages and aggggggggggges ago, I posted about the secret life of twist-ties. Remember? You don't? Okay, check it out here . I was OCD'ng hard about TT's at the time (what else is new?!) I got a comment a few weeks ago regarding that post from RyanD. I saved it, hoping there was an e-addy attached, but there wasn't. However, I did look him up and he's a Twist-tie artist and sculptor and his work is pretty tt-fly. Check it out, yo .

this week I've been obsessing about twist ties . I've been wondering who sets out to become a twist tie-er. sure, it's a super factory-norma-rae-blue collar gig. but, don't you wonder if they have big twist tie pride? I do! I hope so. everything we buy with a plug or a cord is twist tied. there are trade schools for twist ties, forums , articles , recruiters and an organization for dames , women in packaging . ok, packaging, but you can find sections dedicated to the art of the twist tie and the broads behind em'. twist ties are big business, yo. I'm thoroughly fascinated by it.
