[MR] Fw: Atlantian Medallion Cord Project

Fri May 9 15:53:14 PDT 2008

You can also find the foam ones online by searching for kumihimo bobbins
(Mine has an annoying "Camp Hootchie Kootchie" stamped on the front, but it
can be covered with a CD label :-).  You can also find them with the plastic
craft lace (that's where I found mine a few years ago).

Good luck!
