[TheForge] fitted knife lining

Sun Feb 3 18:50:01 2002

I tried several ways to get fitted boxes. The only way
that looks good, to me at least, is thin cardboard
covered for the edges. A piece of the flower foam
inside that and covered with the cloth after forming.
Carpenters glue seems to work OK but will show if you
get a little bit sloppy.
RW, I would think the clay would be too heavy. ??
