Fwd: SANE Meeting Tues 16 Nowonder

Little Liza B asks: What's all this, then, about "felting"?
Great question, Visla, here is a bit is from Deezle's dictionary of Arts and Craps

Felt isn't so much a material as it is a conglomeration of threads held together by compression and prayer. Felting is the art of cutting bits of felt to create a design, then using long, skinny, pointy, dissection needles to repeatedly pierce through the flesh of the adjacent felts so that their essences bleed into each other, and commingle their already loosely aligned layers of threads into one single but thicker loosely aligned layer of threads, albeit of different surface colors. No sewing required (unless, say, to construct a 3-D object out of felted pieces), the process is simple: cut felt, arrange the pieces on a single piece of felt and/or each other, then stab the hell out of it until it cries for mercy or it's all one seriously wounded but single-layer piece.

Where would we be without Deezle's? On a hopeful note, I hope to see my shrink before Tuesday's meeting.

SANE Meeting Tues 16 Nowonder

Get your magic thinking caps on and come up with a project, and/or it will be a free-for-all, do-it-yourself, no-bars-holed kind of event...

The date is Tuesday, the time is 16 November, the place is 7:00 and the day is Pam A.'s humble abode.

Is it a Thanksgibbons theme? Prepare your own turkey and/or stuffing? Build your own Puritan? Let's teach Squanto Esperanto!

Lemme (lemus) know if you have a good idea...

Nov/Dec SANE meeting info

Whilst I was gadding about I also neglected to record info about Nov and Dec meetings. The Nov meeting is slated for Tues 16 Nov, and the famous Winter Solstice Dinner is penciled in for Tues 14 Dec, unless we decide it need not be on a Tues. That's all the info I got.

SANE Hallowe'en Brunch

I've been out of town and out of time and out of sorts and so have neglected to be reminderful about the SANE Hallowe'en brunch, still scheduled for Sunday, 31 October 2010, from 11:00am to like um 2:00pm or so, until the witches' fingers run out, or the blood all curdles, and suchlike, somewheres in the early afternoon. We have to get all beautiful again to wait for darkness and the kids who never come trick or treatin', the li'l bastids.

This is a costume event - and that said, I have had no time to put into a costume so I'm likely to jump in blue dye and be an Avatar (has anyone seen my loincloth?). But some attempt at costumage will be required (inasmuch as I can compel anyone in this group to do anything). Don't make me come up with a no-costume penalty! I shudder to think what it might involve!!! You may run the risk of being banned from some Amish community or extradicted to Florida, or something equally grim. 

But breakfast and lunch and sweetlike objects are projected, nay, even planned, with a good likelihood of being actually made in time! This event is also billed as a pot-luckish event, and under separate cover I will send out requests/suggestions (so nobody can look at the entire list and figure out they're all ingredients for a giant nukular bombe). Of course, you may bring what you wish and devil take the consequences... hmm, if I come as the devil, I can take all the consequences back home with me!

So we hopes to see youse all on Sunday!
