Today Mary Corbet (of NeedlenThread) has a review of silk gimp thread on her blog
HERE. I was quite interested to read her post because back in the day (probably about 60 or 70 years ago) my mother worked with gimp to make belts and small purses. I undertook a search for the thread several years ago and had no success. It's nice to know it's being made again.
Here's a photo of a belt that my mother started (and never got finished)...
On a total 'nother topic - last night I did something extremely scary and modeled in a fashion show. Yep - me (who is terrified of getting up in front of people) actually walked the
plank runway. If I had been writing a bucket list for myself I know that modeling wouldn't have been on there! On the plus side I didn't fall on my face AND I think I put the clothes on right side out (which I'm sure was a bonus).
Any pix of your modeling career???
ReplyDeleteYeah MA I believe the talent scouts are on their way for your signature.

walking the 'plank' :)...well done YOU!
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun time (probably looking back more than the anticipation of it?)
Love how what is old is new again and again...I thought gimp was plastic to make key rings out of (we used something similar in girl scouts way back when)
Happy weekend dear MA

super model!! Well done you. I worked with gimp at university, it was green, kind of an olive colour.
