[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want To Know Wednesday 11/22/17

[Becky Frankeberger]

Cathy, my new sister. I was crocheting in Bible study yesterday. This is a new church to me. They are going verse by verse through the Book of Acts. Cool how Paul preached to the people where they are, smile. This lady saw me crocheting and said she had always wanted to learn. I told her I could teacher her if she wanted. She said that no she just can't learn. The lady across from us remarked that I was blind. She said, you are? Then yes I can learn, snort. Sighted people say the darndest things, as art linkletter would say about the kids he interviewed on his show. 

Warm hugs,

Becky and Jake clapping his paws

Hello Nella and all,

I have to smile as I remember this. when I was a child my sister and I made turkeys out of paper machae. I remember dipping newspaper into a bowl of flour and water, ick. To fashion the body we placed the paper machae over a blown up balloon. Then we formed the head and feet with rolled up and twisted newspaper. When it dried we painted it with psychedelic orange, green blue and yellow.

If was really cool.

Here are some recipes to make paper machae.
•tear newspaper into strips.
•HINT:  always make the last layer of mache with white computer paper or paper towel so that painting is easier.  It takes FAR less paint.  If you don't do this, consider priming the project with white acrylic paint before you let the kids at it with the poster paint •Make paper mache paste (there are many different options): ◦OPTION 1:  3/4 white glue to 1/4 water (or if using a good, thick glue, like elmers you can do 1/2 and 1/2) ◦OPTION 2:  COOK METHOD:  1 part flour to 5 parts water... boil about 3 minutes and let cool  (my favorite!  it's the cheapest method and is nice and smooth) ◦OPTION 3:  1 part flour to 1 part water.  Stir together.




Okay, on the serious side now, I am thankful to God for pursuing me for years and that finally I asked for forgiveness of my sins and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior this June. My life has improved ever so much since this decision.



Have a great day!!
Cathy F
