You know that my wife and a certain Arachne member are waving a big stick at
me to get my "Bobbin Dictionary" done. Well, with the data base of pictures
that I have, I never dreamt that I would need to ask friends for such a
large amount of help in supplying me with photographs. But here I am in
begging mode again and I am thinking "not for the last time".
Could it be that one of you folk have an interest in "beads" (Ideally
antique beads, that is not a requirement as those beads have not changed
over the years.) I got my list of bead entries from Christine Springetts
book on Spangles and Superstitions. I think that what I am asking for is a
coloured picture of each of the beads that she mentions!!!!!!! I know I am
cheeky, but this one is a bit of a doozy!
Is there anyone that this request might actually be of interest to them and
they would enjoy doing it?
I do not want it to be a chore for anyone who volunteers. I know myself
that there are some things that I love doing and other things that are hard
going.
They could be part of a spangle or an individual bead. Photos would need to
be fairly close up but not super macro. If you have a sharp scanner,
...that does the job quite well... usually Scan at about 150 pixels per
inch
What do you think? Could it be you? Thank you at least for thinking about
it. :)
Drop me a note off list and if I am inundated (!) with volunteers we can
split the book up or complete it in some way between volunteers.
I just thought of something that I could do in return for a person doing
this. I will replace all the pictures in the "Superstitions" book with
their coloured pictures and send her/him either a hard copy or an electronic
copy of it. (just the volunteer or I could be in trouble!)
No particular time frame but say within 4 to 6 weeks? Does that sound
reasonable?
Thanks... now back to begging letters to my very long suffering friendly
bobbin collectors.
