I can paypal if it's not too much. Would love to trade (check my gallery link under sig pic).

I have 3 easter baskets to fill up for my younger boys and need some grass green silks for each.

Thanks!

I can dye some tomorrow and have them ready to mail out with your order (it's finished...ready to mail Mon). I'd love to trade

Ahh. that would be fantastic Dannielle. I'm running behind right now on a few trades but could make something for you by the end of the week I'm sure. Just let me know what you would like

How big will the silks be? Do I just need one per basket or several smaller ones? I've always done the plastic grass so not sure how much silk I need per basket. I want them to be nice and fluffy though

I have 36" silks. Is that ok? And if so, do you want a solid color or a blend of greens (or greens and yellow like this: http://store.naturalplaythings.com/p...greensilk2.jpg )

As usual I"m not in a hurry...in fact, I don't even know what I *need* yet. Unless you wanna play with my window idea in your spare time lol. It's not something I completely made up...saw it in a movie. And it would require me buying some of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=6155944 111

Those are gorgeous! I love how all the colors come through.

You need to give me more details regarding your window idea. Are you thinking something completed threaded with beads/crystals... or just here and there on the wire and a special treatment done in the center? Do you think that it would work better if the beads were threaded on string as opposed to wire? tell me more

Dannielle · 03-14-2005, 03:29 AM

yknow, I think I'm gonna have to have netflix send me Pollyanna again. lol! In the movie there was this thing that looked like a necklace but the chain was wire linky-do's like you do....only yours would have been better. And it was way too big to have been a necklace for a person...it was obviously a decorative hang-in-front-of-a-window thing. And when the sun shines through the window rainbows danced all over the room.

Let me get the movie again so I can pay closer attention....then I can picture it well enough to draw it. Or maybe after I've slept a few hours it will be clearer in my brain. It wasn't complicated though.

Ok...ya know that picture holder thingie? You know how diagonally it looks like a curly "W"? Well if instead of a "W"...if it were a "V"...and the chandelier bead (the long one) hangs from the bottom of the "V". And then all the V's are linked together with the small octagon chandelier bead in the center.

That probably doesn't even make sense. I really should go to bed.

double post

freespiritmom · 03-14-2005, 04:14 AM

yeah.. you really should go to bed

I didn't even think about the window thingy being links rather than a single piece of wire. So more like a handmade "chain" huh? ... With a large crystal prism dangling in the center (on a decorative, curly piece of wire?) and then smaller crystal beads between the links on the rest of the chain? Ahh.. that *would* look beautiful!

How wide of a window? How far down do you want it to swag?

I'll go add Pollyanna on my netflix queue so I can get a look-see too.

again.

off to bed myself
