Antenna fluffs
Thanks for all the help!!... i'm going to try and use the bass guitar string. I was told they work great and now need to learn how to attach the fluffs. Is there any other suggestions on this, your help is greatly appreciated and respected.

Instrument wire, like piano wire or thick bass guitar string (.145ga used for the B in a 5 string bass), is great because it consists of a corrosion resistant wire wrapped around a solid core. Instrument wire is also designed to flex and bend a bit. Most are either brass or nickle coated and are fairly light.
I've heard of others using solid wire stock from hardware stores but unless it's coated they will corrode (rust) easily.
I like the idea of brake cable too - never thought of it before.Leave a comment:

I have several small feathers, and I would like to wear them. How would I fix/attach etc, so that I could wear them? I have four of them and have seen other dancers wear smaller feathers, and they look great! Would look even better with my plumes!:)
Just not sure how to go about it

Trying to find out how to hook up a roach for a little northern traditional dancer, but have never done it before. We are using latigo for the spreader and two medicine bottles for the feathers, now what is an easy way to get it done? with details.

Just curious...
All you fancy dancers out there, which do you prefer; spinners or rockers for your roach feathers.

Anyone have any tips to make a...12-13-2001, 05:47 PM -
Forgive me if I use the name it is commonly known by, but I don't know the actual name of the style of headdress. Most comonly, I've seen paintings of Cheyenne & Mandan warriors wearing them.
My question is how would you go about making one? A bonnet blank, like you could use for a warbonnet?...06-28-2003, 11:10 PM
