I keep woollen stuff in double thickness of cloth bags. Then inside a chest.
I was reading about keeping grain for long periods of time. The problem
with this is that the eggs of the moth are already on the grain when it
is stored. The solution is to immerse the grain in carbon dioxide. This
is done by putting the grain in a closed container with dry ice. The dry
ice vaporizes and becomes carbon dioxide which kills any moths. I wonder
if a wool piece could be placed in a garbage can with dry ice to kill
any existing moth. The wool could then be stored in a tightly woven
double cotton sack.

The ICG-TW gets periodic additions to our ever expanding convention list,
and Roc Con (below) looks like fun for those near Harrisburg PA.  The
convention list has grown even more inclusive and international.  We heard
about a new convention in Australia just a few weeks ago!

SO basically if we are missing a convention or costume gather that you
think should be on the list, let the webguy@... team know.  I
suspect there will be some "Hobbit" events this year that would be worth
adding.

The economy is also causing a more volatile convention world where dates
change and conventions get cancelled.  There also seem to be more "one
shot" events (especially Steampunk).  If anyone has insight on these let us
know so the list can be kept current.

The ICG "Webguy" team
(where ever you go there is probably a convention)

Greetings to Arisia Masquerade past participants, prospective
participants, Costumers, Cosplayers, friends and family!

The 2013 Arisia Masquerade staff want you to know about the great
things happening for this year's Masquerade.

The major thing we want to you all to know is that the
Masquerade has moved to SUNDAY NIGHT!!!  Yes, Sunday night at 8pm with
doors opening at 7pm.  This will give us more opportunity for longer
rehearsal times and more entrants, tentatively capped at 42, and have
an even bigger and better Masquerade than ever before!!!

Next we want you to know is that the Masquerade Rules and
the Masquerade Registration Form are online at
http://2013.arisia.org/masqRules  and
http://2013.arisia.org/masqSignup.

Please read the Rules thoroughly so you can best plan your masquerade
presentation and be able to fill out the form with as much information
as you can to help us plan the rehearsals and the show.  Please
indicate which rehearsal time slot on Saturday (10am-2pm) you prefer.
If you are a novice or a large group you should consider a slot for
Saturday.  This will help us plan out the rehearsal schedule in
advance.  There will be Sunday slots as well (available at-con), but
at this time we are only offering the Saturday slots for online
signup. Please note also that all entrants MUST check in with the
Masquerade Registration desk during our registration hours BEFORE
rehearsals to ensure your spot on the schedule. Talking to our Tech
crew at the Registration table in advance about your presentation will
also mean that you will have more time during your rehearsal slot for
actual rehearsing!

Important: get your registration and hotel room for Arisia
now!  Registration goes up in price on October 1st.  Visit the
Registration page for all the details.
http://2013.arisia.org/Registration  The Hotel Reservations page is
online for the Westin Waterfront and the overflow hotel so book your
rooms now before it fills up! http://2013.arisia.org/Hotel

Lastly, the Masquerade also needs your help with many volunteer
positions like Ushers, Green Room wranglers, Den Moms, and Stage
Ninjas, We need help during rehearsals and before, during, and after
the Masquerade.  Earn your hours for the next Arisia by
volunteering!!!

Thank you and we hope that you will consider participating in whatever
capacity you can for the 2013 Arisia Masquerade.  And remember, the
show is on Sunday night!  Tell your friends!  Tell your roommates!

Please contact us at masquerade@... if you have any questions.

About the ICG-D Mailing List
Updated 4/23/2006

ICG-D is the official mailing list of the International Costumers Guild. It is
intended for, but not limited to, the general membership of the ICG. Its
purpose is to promote discussion about all aspects of costuming and costuming-
related activities. The sick jokes, constant punning, and occasional bouts of
silliness are just a by-product of gathering creative minds together in a
forum such as this.

The official mailing address is ICG-D@yahoogroups.com. While the list is
generally unmoderated (that is to say, messages don't get checked before being
posted to the list), the moderators of the list will not hesitate to put a
poster on moderated status should the situation call for it.

New members are kept on moderated status until they have posted to the list
several times. This is done to prevent spammers from attacking the list. The
moderators will grant full posting privileges as soon as we're sure you're not
an evil nasty spammer.

Policies of the ICG-D mailing list:

1)  No Flaming.  The moderators will issue one and only one warning.
     If the flaming continues, all parties flaming will be unsubscribed.
     We expect participants to treat each other with respect and courtesy.

2)  No SPAM!  Suspect addresses in subscription requests will have their
     identity verified and be removed so fast the air will crackle.

3)  No Chain Letters.  I know some of them pull at your heart strings
     or have you fearing for your hard drive, but most are inaccurate
     (at best), out-of-date or fake (at worst). When given a chain letter,
     your best policy is to visit the Urban Legends page at www.snopes.com
     and see if it's mentioned out there. Odds are it will be.

4)  When you change the topic of conversation, do everyone a favor and apply
     that change to the subject line as well. Keep the subject line short. Do
     not use the subject line as the first line of your message.

5)  Every so often the list will drift off topic. The moderators' general
     belief is that there's nothing wrong with a bit of side conversation from
     time to time so long as there aren't too many on-topic discussions going
     on and being interfered with. If the side discussions are going on too
     long, the moderators will politely clear their virtual throats and ask for
     an end to things. Please do so. Moderators do terrible things when they
     get cranky.

6)  When replying to a post, please copy the pertinent parts of what you're
     replying to so that everyone gets a point of reference. Do not, however,
     copy all 500 lines of said post before replying.

7)  Please avoid one-word or one sentence replies. Make your posts meaningful.

8)  If your email account starts bouncing messages, we will make one attempt
     to correct the situation. If this attempt fails, or the bouncing returns
     after a successful restoration, your email address will be removed from
     the list. Please be aware that a number of freemail account holders such
     as Hotmail and others have limits on how much mail can be received and
     will bounce messages when that quota has been exceeded.

9)  There are several ways you can read messages on the ICG-D list:

     a)  Receive individual messages to your email account
     b)  Receive digests, sent in groups of 25 or in one-day packages
     c)  No-email; read messages out at the ICG-D folder of Yahoo Groups

     You can contact the moderators to have your email delivery changed, but
     if you have a Yahoo Profile you can make these changes yourself (or in
     the case of the third method listed above, just go out to the site and
     read to your heart's content).

     The ICG-D list's home page is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ICG-D/

     For those of you loathe to provide any provider with personal information,
     let me point out that the Webguy's Yahoo Profile shows him to be Mr_Gengar,
     a resident of the Pokeville Vermillion Forest, and no one from Yahoo has
     called him on it yet.

     To register with Yahoo Groups, visit the main Yahoo Groups page at
     http://www.yahoogroups.com and click on "Register".

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us.

Found this via an email from the Museum at FIT.  It's a series of photos from
the late teens/early 1920s from Cornell University in the Home Economics
Department taken during sewing, millinery and draping classes.  The first few
show a class in making your own dress form, same as today with different
materials.  Note the ladies sitting at the table on the left handling the paper
strips for the one who's applying them.

It's interesting both for the classes as well as for the everyday clothing worn
by the women in them.  Start from the photo in the link and click on "newer".

The tape surface seen on the finished dress forms is dark and shiny,  not
unlike duct tape, but duct tape as we know it did not become available until
after WWII.

I would guess that the team is using some kind of gummed paper packing
tape and that the bowl seen on the table is for moistening the gum.

Thanks for posting this fascinating bit of history! I will definitely
include the link in the October Cactus Needles.

Howdy:



Thought I'd throw this out on the list and see what comes out of the
"collective mind".



I have two items I'm thinking I need to remove paint from.  They are nylon
(I think) boots and leather (I think - maybe vinyl) ski gloves.  I painted
them both silver many years ago.  The problem at the time was/is, it didn't
stick to the nylon boots very well because the boots flex when walking in
them.  And for some reason, even after all these years, there are sticky
spots on the gloves.



So, what I'm thinking, is stripping the old paint off and repainting them -
I don't think I primed them last time.  The boots, I think, I'm going to
cover them with something like Crystal Gel first, so that the paint won't
flake off this time.



What would be the best paint remover that won't ruin my surfaces?

I'm a little late here, but I have a book about preserving things and
they specifically say that Mothballs are only for cases where you
already have an insect infestation and you should get types that kill
insects, larvae and eggs.

And that vintage clothes should be hung from padded hangers. Not hard to
get, or make with a little muslin and batting.

Bruce--

Methylene chloride (available at a number of Big Box stores) will soften paint
so it can be removed from nylon. Vinyl may be OK--Polyethylene and nylon for
sure. Perspex, Acrylite or Plexiglass--no. They are (polymerized) Methyl
Methacrylate, A.K.A. Acrylic plastic.
But be sure it's really 'nylon'!  Methylene chloride will dissolve acrylic
plastics like Methyl Methacrylate!

Test a drop or two to see if it softens the plastic and makes it sticky.  If
not--it isn't acrylic and the methylene chloride paint stripper will work ok.

Additional thought--

Although Methylene chloride is the least toxic of chlorinated hydrocarbons,
apply it over surfaces to be paint-stripped in a well-ventilated area--

Patrick

In February 2013, the Metropolitan Museum of Art will be opening an exhibition,
Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity, that will pair the development of
Impressionist art in France with the innovations in French fashion from the
1860s to the 1880s.  To highlight the era's new consumer culture, costumes and
accessories from the museum's Costume Institute and other sources will be shown
together with 140 paintings by Degas, Manet, Monet, Renoir, and other
Impressionists.  No information seems to be available yet on the Met's web site.
However, the Met store already has the catalog for sale.

Philippa Brock's experimental projects composed of textiles produced on a
Jacquard loom. Brock's research deals with the structural possibilities of
textiles. In her work, she is constantly pushing back the limits of what can be
realized with state-of-the-art computer equipment and a combination of unusual
materials. In this exhibition, the first part Self Fold presents works that are
richly textured with spectacular three-dimensional effects. The second part,
X-Form, developed specifically for this event, explores folding of materials
while integrating fibres that react to daylight or to ultra-violet light.
>>
>> Philippa Brock is internationally known for her advanced research in Jacquard
weaving. Since 1990, her work specializes woven textiles as well as research and
development of smart textiles. She is the Woven Textiles Pathway Leader at Saint
Martins College of Art & Design in London, one of the most innovative and
prestigious textile schools in the world. She will take advantage of her trip to
Montreal to offer a master class to textile professionals.

I have been really getting into different styles of make up and eyeshadows
from history this summer, and this make up artist has a really well done
series of videos on her webpage at
http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/25307/wide-eyed-60s-lashy-dolly-eyes/  For
those of you into historical looks, check her out, I think you will like
them.

Thanks for the find!  I added a link to the Met "clothing" titles in the Silicon
Web Vintage and Online Sewing and Costuming Books collection, so we will have
more than one archival link to them.

Thanks for this.  I'm fortunate in having several of these books in my
collection, and it's great that the books are available to read on-line. 
Wonderful resource.  I have forwarded your info on to some costuming friends.
