Just came across an adorable old crocheted metalic basket of sorts with jeweled flowers that sue had on a table.
I'd like to try it sometime, and have lots of metalic thread from radio stuff my grandson and i played with years ago.
Sometimes when i wanted to replace a compacitor or a resister, i would scrape the ends until they shined, and then sew them together with a thin piece of wire or heavy thread because i never learned how to solder anything.
I'd love to do some emproidery work with metal.
Think i'll play around with this idea sometime soon.
I've often thought i'd like to sew a germanium diolde kind of radio onto some fabric just for fun.
You can make one on a flat piece of cardboard that has spokes in it to wind wire around and make a radio to send in the mail. Maybe I'll do that soon. I don't know.
Tired of studying. Tired of making booklettes about a million things. Tired of thinking at all.
Books and papers all over the place. Not a thing that isn't loaded with stuff i'm working on.
I'll be 84 soon and that a lot of stuff to collect, and a lot of experiences to write about.
Maybe i won't be so tired tomorow. This has been a real heavy day, but I did get a lot of stuff done. love, alma
