AKTATTER: Since there are no newbies present tonight AKTATTER: aer there any questions? craftyshuttle: What is the purpose of the clear bead on the twisted cord? AKTATTER: teh spider can be varied a bit and made into a fly as well AKTATTER: that is wehre the clear spider spit comes out AKTATTER: spider spit makes the web AKTATTER: there might be a more polite word for spit AKTATTER: but I do not know it lol craftyshuttle: OK.........thanks. craftyshuttle: secretion. Dntats4u: I was unable to get directions for twisted cord AKTATTER: email Ruth for a direct link AKTATTER: the spider begins with a ring AKTATTER: with very long picots craftyshuttle: I did not look for the link, but assumed that the twisted cord would be the same as making other cords, AKTATTER: you may want to graduate the size AKTATTER: and you will probably want to use a guage AKTATTER: well I thought a zig zag or victorisn sets chain would be good toot AKTATTER: the body of the spider has an inner ring AKTATTER: and she uses a split ring to surround it AKTATTER: have you noted the split ring there? AKTATTER: it is because of the cord that she used SR craftyshuttle: Yes AKTATTER: that way the tails of the threads become the cord AKTATTER: Ruth's spider in golden yellow is actually kinda perky AKTATTER: but the traditional black are just as cute AKTATTER: after the spider is complete AKTATTER: you can cut the logn picots and make the legs LizAndrsn: Yup - absolutely flat! AKTATTER: use a dab of glue to stiffen them into shape AKTATTER: you can also tease the thread a bit AKTATTER: by brushing it AKTATTER: nad make little hairs stand out AKTATTER: :) AKTATTER: any questions? AKTATTER: Ruth can't get in craftyshuttle: What was Ruth going to use these for? jewelry, note cards, book marks?
