In reference to using a disappearing marker--on a site I can't remember
the name of--quilters were finding holes years--5-10--later where they
had marked with a disappearing marker.

For my current project I need to couch a silk cord in a geometric
pattern on to silk fabric.  Most of the lines will be at a straight 45
degree angle.  I will be doing this by hand as well.

My idea to mark the placement of these lines involves a chalk line
snapped against the silk that can then be marked with a disapearing
marker so they last until I get to that section of the 7 inch by 5
yards piece.   I can use a cork board with a grid marked and pins to
get the lines at the proper angle.  What I'm wondering is about
chalking the string.  Would rubbing a piece of chalk against the
string between snaps be enough to have enough chalk to transfer?
Anyone done anything like this on fabric?

What about a lingerie chest?  They usually have drawers without dividers and of 
different depths.

I'm still packing my stuff to move to Sacramento. I have a fair amount
of steampunk and historic-inspired costume jewelry that's just big.
Large necklaces. Chunky cuff bracelets. Tiaras. It's been lying around
on top of things because I didn't have any jewelry box big enough for it
all. I'd like a nice box, not the kind of plastic bin people use for
sewing supplies. (Artbin, anyone?) Preferably wooden, but leather would do.

And I'm not finding one. I've always thought the Reed & Barton jewelry
boxes (bought on Ebay) were the best quality for the money, but half
their drawers have small, fixed compartments for things like little
pendants, which this stuff won't fit into. I need a big box with big
compartments and deep drawers. Any suggestions?

?Check out someplace like Harbor Freight that has the wooden tool boxes.
I'm not sure of the depth of the drawers, but if it handles tools it might
be large enough for the oversize jewelry?\

My friend has a wooden tool box that she uses for her jewelry. It's large
and has big compartments. You can buy them online.

The piece was found in a midden on a military base in Southern California and 
is from the 20th century.  We're trying to narrow down the decade.
