Guitar Pick as Artwork

My wife recently started an Etsy store, and so naturally I typed ‘guitar’ in the search box. Among the items that came up were these beautiful handmade guitar picks of Ebony, Cocobolo, Abalone, Bone, Horn, and Snakewood by Brossard: Brossard Guitar Picks

I’d be into wearing these around my neck, and they do sell leather necklaces on the site.  But I’ve never used these kinds of picks on a guitar & I imagine it would take some getting used to.  Still, these will make nice gifts & I’m into supporting small business so I wanted to pass this along.  Check ‘em out!

The Problem With Biodegradable Guitar Picks

Wheatware Picks vs. Standard Fender PicksL-R: Unused Wheatware Pick, Used Wheatware Pick (2 weeks), Used Fender Pick (10 yrs) — Note how dramatically the shape of the used Wheatware pick has changed in just 2 weeks of use.

I saw these cool biodegradable guitar picks made from wheat, so I just had to try them out!  I got a bag of their wedged medium picks 2 weeks ago, and they even threw in a variety pack bag for me to try the other gauges they make.
