[NFB-Krafters-Korner] What is everyone working on these days

[Ray Wright]

Hi Deborah and all,

My seam ripper necklace is pretty much along the lines you are
thinking of. It will have a metal chain so you can wear the seam
ripper around your neck and not misplace it if you set it down. The
seam ripper itself will have a wooden handle with a magnetic catch at
one end so you can detach it from the chain if it makes it easier to
use. The ripper will be reversible so when you are not using it, you
can put the sharp end in the handle for storage and protection as it
hangs around your neck.

The metal finishes I am considering are gold, chrome or a satin silver.
I hope this helps and  please let me know if you have any questions.

Ray
