Thanks, but I'm working on my umpteenth cup of coffee of the day. I make secret, special teas, though, of all kinds...
whatever mood you want, I can pretty much set you up!
*dammit my Graemlins don't want to work right!*
Sure wouldn't mind curling up by a nice fire for a nap.
*purrrrrrrr*

I'm working on it Gidg and when I can get it down I'll post pictures.....its hard because my hands are connected by the orb and all the spinning has to be outside my arms and hands so I dont tangle......I'm hoping to have it worked out for WildFire......It really should prove to be a cool effect if I can do it

Well I can see that there are things that you won't be able to do, but it will have a great effect. Now I really wish I had an orb to play with ... I think that I'm going to try it with just a piece of string between my hands, to see what can be accompished.
I can't wait to see these pictures.

Camping for friends allowed at my place!
Twenty-five and one half acres of farmland/w a fire circle in my back yard. A pond for fishing, too.
Remember how to do "The Swim?"
(not in the pond!)

If you want to make one that will last for about 5 or 6 burns before its done you can real cheap and easy.....what I did was get hurricane lantern wicks and cotton thread, elmers glue and thin wire.....all available at wal-mart and will cost about $4.00 total ......make a rolled wick around the center of the wire, sew and glue the seem.......make loops on the ends for your fingers and BAM!!!!! you have a temporary fire orb

Oh how I remember that! All that bouncing without one bit of bouncing! Yeah, I do remember the swim ... I actually did it at the end of the month dance, it was a beach party. It looked a little different when everyone around us was doing ballroom dancing. *giggle*
Loki, you now realize that I'm going to have to go and make one now that I have the receipe.
