Wings

[rookie]

There was a post on a forum from our friends across the ocean where he used the paper from a tea bag, glued it to the shiney surface of the feather and then shaped it in a wing burner.

Inspired by this, I looked around for another material that would be translucent, have good floating qualities and yet very durable. I tried a very fine, high quality bridal netting and was extremely please with the results.

I realize none of this is necessary, but does anyone else add anything to strengthen their wings?

Rookie, yup, Typhoo tea bag material. Sounds surprising but the UK tea bags are much stronger than the American version, they're also usually round tea bags. Great stuff.

Hummm ... Panara Bread company has round tea bags ... maybe should take a trip to pick one up ...NO, I CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE if a pecan roll comes with it!!! Also, Barnes and Noble has silk tea bags. Wonder how they would work? OK, books have fewer calories, too!!

BUT - if the Barnes and Noble you go to also has a Starbucks Coffee Shop like we do here, the coffee shop will have pastries that will act as a magnet to the bucks you were going to use for books ??!!

It's a well known fact that coffee dissolves the calories from pastries. Honest, you don't need to look that up.

I am guessing the preference is tea and crumpets over marriage?

I take it that you are unfamiliar with the pecan rolls from Priester's Pecans. After those, you will be able to resist the pecan rolls from Panera. Alas, the addiction is far worse.

The Key line pecans found by scrolling the link below are fatally addictive...

I guess that I'll have to hide for a while, now. Hi Jack!

Ed, guilty of Betty baiting (and some pretty serious hijacking...)
