Silk is a natural protein fiber that can be woven into textiles. It is obtained from the cocoon of silkworm larvae reared in captivity. The process of harvesting the silk from the cocoon kills the larvae.\n\nIn addition to clothing manufacture and other handicrafts, silk is also used for items like parachutes, bicycle tires, comforter filling and artillery gunpowder bags. Early bulletproof vests were also made from silk in the era of blackpowder weapons until roughly World War I. Silk undergoes a special manufacturing process to make it adequate for its use in surgery as non-absorbable sutures. Chinese doctors have also used it to make prosthetic arteries. Silk cloth is also used as a material to write on.

try some cardboard cutouts in the shapes of peacock feathers (this makes for a really good base, so that the feathers wont look all saggy)....then wrap them in some type of fabric, a little thicker than normal so that the fabric can withstand the weight of the paint...for the make up try a face mask effect, i have no idea what kind of make up to use...try nothing cheap as the quality is a lower standard.

Aw, the care bears are going hardcore! Well, first you should start by putting up barriers. I would suggest synthetic foam rubber throw pillows as they are non-allergenic. Then you could spray Exclamation perfume in the air as no self-respecting debutant would dare be caught wearing that fragrance. Also, you might consider putting up some signs that say "flea market". Me and my homies would never be seen at a second-hand store. Anyway, just make it socially embarrasing and most of the girls will stay away if they value the tile of prom queen. Peace out, homie. Word to the mother! Snitches get stitches!

Hi Manda\n\nTry putting them on a corkboard covered with green felt. Using some twist ties run threw the board. Then if you like you can put the m in a nice frame.\nJust an idea.\n\nLeon

keep it simple enough, but add some cool twists... choose an unusual color scheme, for one thing... don't go with the ever-so-common black and red... keep the layout easy to navigate... since you know HTML code, just experiment and see what you come up with... that's what i do! just have fun with it... i like rust-red, for some reason... not many people use rusty colors, or off-tones on websites... it might add a nice touch with steel gray, also... or if that's not your color, just mess around and see how it turns out. keeping it simple is definitely a good idea, though...\n\nfor some more color schemes, try something unique... such as: Really dark green and a strange tone of yellow or orange; rust-red and navy blue or black; black and a strange shade of green... those all sound really weird, but it might give you some ideas.\n\np.s. everything's a lot better w/ daniel and i now... it's a lot like it used to be now! *whew*... hope everything's ok w/ u and morgan...\n\n\n\nyeah he's been staying off the addiction ever since i talked to him about it... do you think morgan and you will get back together? i'm glad things are working out for you guys! good to hear from you, too! did i ever send you that really long poem, or did i forget?

Go on Google and type in something like online design program. You might have to put switch the words around or add some other words but online design program should be okay.

Most tailor or alteration shops will do the small numbers for about $3 each, the large numbers for $6 each, and the name for about $4.\n\nIf you want to DIY, then get maroon and blue (if it's an away sweater, then white) heavy nylon thread.  This stuff kinda looks like 12 lbs test and you can find it at Wal-Mart or Joann's.  It'll take a while, but go around everything twice.  If it's something you'll only wear twice a month, then one pass should do the trick.\n\nIf you're all thumbs, then get some fabric glue.  As long as you don't wash it in hot water, it shouldn't come off.\n\nLet's go WI-LD!!\n\nGood Luck
