I thought tonight I would venture some ancient techniques for painting Bamboo in my humble way.
I thoroughly enjoy painting with these materials and I wonder what it must have been like 600 years ago, looking at my examples I stidy from.
This was alot of fun. I love the old hand made very thick paper also. It is from Beijing. And has whole pine needles pressed into it also.

This is the unorthodox method I use for spinning worsted roving slivers into worsted yarn using a drop spindle. I hope that it may help beginning spinners by showing an alternative method to more traditional operations of spinning.

I want to make one of those purses out of plastic grocery/walmart bags that you see everywhere, but I don’t know how to make the "yarn" first.

I have an idea on how to make the purse on my Knifty Knitter, so I don’t need to know how to do that. I just want to know how to make a couple balls of the material that I can use to make the purse.
How would I cut the bags in a spiral?

crochetpatterncentral.com has a category for plastic yarn, tutorial and items to make

I crochet items for nursing homes, hospitals and the aspca. Only I can’t afford to buy all the yarn needed for these projects, So I need to find sources for free yarn to make all these goodies that I hand out through the year.

Besides talking with your local yarn shops, joining freecycle, and checking at your local thrift stores you could also write a letter to the yarn manufacturers and see if they could donate yarn. I’ve heard them do this in years past, but their donation supplies are limited so you need to keep in touch with them on a regular basis so they keep you in mind.
