Parcel off PLG
A parcel arrived today from PLG.
He has been a great contributor to the A1 Scrapmetal collection over the last few years, and I always enjoy opening his parcels..you never know what gems might be in there.
I don't usually include the package..but this one was even better than usual. Dotted lines to cut along and a very well protected object. THANK YOU PLG.

Floral Wire
Found on a recent trip to Chester in a Vintage clothes shop.
"LET THE COIL REMAIN ON CARD,DRAW WIRE THROUGH HOLE AT BACK - CAN USE THE LAST STRAND WITHOUT TANGLE"
It cost ONE old pence
I have never seen one of these before and payed 400 new pences for it.
Quite a price gain.
Another in my collection, ways to sell and market bent wire.

The wire on the back of the card not only holds the roll of wire onto the front it also is twisted into a central loop which strengthens the dispensing hole in the middle.

Padlock
A tiny HAND MADE padlock Michael gave me for Xmas.
Less than an inch square.
No key, but open.

All those rivets remind me of the first experiments I did in metal work at Alsager.

Waxed Thread
Popped into Blackmere antiques emporium on the way back from a table top sale in Tarporly (A very nice little village towards Beeston).
Found this card which looks hand printed.
"EXTRA STRONG WAXED THREAD..for MAKING AND REPAIRING BAGS, BOOTS and all LEATHER AND CANVAS GOODS.
90 INCHES/2 NEEDLES"
It reminded me a little of Trevira's blog.
The price label is still on because if I fetch it off it will rip the card..
Unit 3
And it cost a pound.
It came with the brown paper bag.

I think this one has stamped on it.
"BEND SIDE WIRE ONLY"
and has the sizes of the varying thicknesses of wire.

Showcase at Manchester School of Art
I have been so busy, two weeks have gone by and I have neglected to start putting the wonderful objects, that were sent to me by Angelica (Scrapateria),onto my blog.
I displayed them straight away in a cabinet at Manchester School of Art.
So I will have to Blog them when I get them back and I can make a note of the instructions and stamped details.
They can all been seen on my Flickr stream.(just click on the photo..)
