Hi Anne, welcome to Wigan World
Have you got an account with Photobucket or a similar website?

Photobucket is not what it was. Have a look at ImageShack, you can try that one without joining.
EDIT:
Forgot to add this link Pics posting tutorial.

Arrow, thanks once again. I think I will have to be in the right frame of mind before I even begin to think of tackling those instructions. Maybe like some other things it may be not as bad as it looks

Hello, kathpressey, I didn't really learn the head dress making, I looked at pictures, books and museum exhibits and went from there. I did use turkey feathers, dyed the tips black and lengthened the quill end with tubing in order to simulate eagle feathers which are now of course a protected species these days. All other materials are pretty much the natural thing. Horsehair trails, brow beading rabbit skins and so on. I made two one Crow, one Sioux. They are looking a little worse for wear now because children cannot resist.

i wondered if you were into re-enactment? are you in America [yes I'm nosy]

Replied: 5th Jun 2013 at 09:16

kathpressey,not into re-enactment, not in America, in Wigan. I did these because when I was a child enjoying Saturday childrens films I always thought the Indians dress was more fascinating than the cowboys. Did these many years later, almost into my seventies just for my own pleasure and satisfaction.

Hi, manitou22000
Will look out for your car, unfortunately you won't spot mine out and about. Got an obscure electrical fault stopping the starter motor turning. Frustrating with this kind of weather.

Brand new starter motor, all connections perfect, probably need to trace through the wiring loom. Insurance. I insure for twelve months for £96.00, if that sounds good to you I could let you have details (3000 mile limit and named drivers)

I used to have hobbies but now I have a grandson and I find that I spend my time watching him, looking at stuff for him, buying stuff for him, looking at pictures of him . . . any grandparents on here know the end of this . . .Hotdog, Hotdog, hot diggity dog . . .

I've forgotten what it looks like to see real people on the TV . . . me and hubby catch ourselves sometimes watching Disney Junior and Grandson has been in bed for hours

I love it.
