Rolling pins for Art Thursday? You probably think I've dropped my stopper, flipped my wicket, fruited my loops. Well, take a look at these:

I thought I smelled pie! Love these -- truly works of art. :)
How cool...and beautiful (especially the glass one with blue swirls)!
And you didn't even mention the comedic use of a rolling pin as a weapon. ;-)
When I was a kid, my mom used to have one of those rolling pins that made decorative cookies. I think they were Swedish? They tasted of anise and she used to make them at Christmas.
