Re: [h-cost] Help! Tear Away Stabilizer
Many, many thanks to everyone who gave advice about working with organza. I tried the painter's tape method. My son is a painter and all we had in the house was expensive blue tape...it is supposed to stick better. It worked too well. It had leftover bits of tape in the seam that I had to pull out with tweezers. Maybe the cheap-o tape would work better. Next I used the tissue paper that you put in gift bags. This worked like a charm. At Joann's I bought tissue paper the same color as the dress. So if I left paper in the seam, it didn't show. I only had this happen once when I did a seam finish. The dress was beautiful! Thanks again!

Four days of sessions, book browsing, publisher meetings, networking, and social gatherings, plus two days of travel. Since then, recovery and catch-up, and putting together our session proposals for *next* year (due today).

I am frantically trying to finish garb for my very-fast-growing 3 1/2 year old for a faire this weekend. However, the weather forecast keeps changing! I have all but the sleeve rings on the wool suit, and some hand-finishing on the other outfit; and buttons and loops on the shirts. Still need to make a new biggens or two.

Re: [h-cost] Help! Tear Away Stabilizer
I've always used Stich 'n' Tear. It's not iron-on. You cut a strip and lay it in the seam and sew through it, then tear away from both sides of the seam. Works lilke a charm. It's especially good when lining velvet with satin, which do not like to play nicely together otherwise. And it's heavy enough to stay in place and not tear before you're ready, like during pinning. Glad the tissue worked for you, Penny.

[h-cost] The meaning of hand position in art - OT?

These are a few links below for examples...the one I was really thinking of was where the hand is held up and the forefinger touches the thumbof course I can't find a picture of it right now.

Those are called Hand Mudras. Jesus usually uses the pan mudra. Check Christian Iconography and symbolism in Christian art. The hand positions are basically the same in most religions.

Re: [h-cost] The meaning of hand position in art - OT?
The first Two fingers and the thumb held up, expecially in pictures of patriarchs and 'fathers of the church' is a Trinitarian sign--a sign that the saint (nearly always) knew that the Trinity is the three persons but one being, etc., etc., instead of believing one of the . . . interesting heresies running around the early church, such as Arianism. (yes, I looked it up; it's been a while.) The hand was held that way when a priest, bishop, or abbot signs the cross to bless someone or something, too.
