Try making "tats" -- single rings to be glued to stationery. That way when you tangle a ring, cut it out, and throw it away, you haven't lost any of your previous work. Start with three-stitch rings that you'll later call "buds", then rings with lots of long picots that you can call "daisies", then you can get fancy: violets, butterflies, etc. I don't know what you'll do with them, now that we all keep in touch by e-mail, but filling up a matchbox for future reference should hold your interest for a while. I once saw a picture of a painting in which lilac blossoms were depicted by sticking short-petaled daisy tats into the paint while it was wet. These were a lot coarser than tats one would glue to paper. -- Joy Beeson http://home.earthlink.net/~joybeeson/ http://home.earthlink.net/~dbeeson594/ROUGHSEW/ROUGH.HTM http://home.earthlink.net/~beeson_n3f/ http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where leaves are falling. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
