Hunting agates, arrowheads, and so on can be pretty strenuous
work. There's a real handy tool that you can make at home that
can take a lot of the work out of your hunt. It's easy to make
and easy to carry. By using this tool, you can pry up, turn
over, or pick up specimens without having to bend over each time
you see something that looks worth examination. For lack of a
name, I'll just call it a scoop.
A scoop is simply what it sounds like - a long handle with a
scoop on the end of it. It is an easy tool to construct. To make
it you need an old broom stick, a large serving spoon, two or
three sticks of JB Weld or other super strength adhesive, and
duct tape.

| Article Title :: Understanding canvas work charts |
| |
|
Some canvas work designs are presented in chart form, that is,
the position of each stitch in the design is recorded on graph
paper. Graph paper is used for charting because it is
structurally similar to canvas. The vertical and horizontal
lines correspond to the canvas threads; the squares and
intersections made by the crossing lines are like the holes and
meshes of the canvas.
Both come in several gauges, related to the number of
sub-divisions (squares with graph paper, threads with canvas) to
the inch. There are two ways to make use of these similarities,
and each produces a different type of chart.

| Article Title :: History of Needlepoint |
| |
|
There are conflicting opinions as to the terms describing
needlepoint. The differences may result from the fact that
needlepoint has come down to us from various countries and in
various stitches. Briefly, needlepoint is embroidery on canvas,
the most common stitch is half of a cross-stitch, which is also
called 'Tent stitch'.
Needlepoint-tapestry is an often-used expression which shows the
relation of needlepoint to the tapestry designs of the middle
ages. This is especially true when the needlepoint is worked in
an upright Gobelin stitch, which gives the effect of woven
tapestry.

linen. Later, canvases were made specific (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Basic Preparations for Canvas Work |
| |
|
To begin canvas work, you must first prepare a piece of canvas
large enough to receive the design. 'Large enough' means the
finished size of the design plus a margin of at least 5cm along
each edge. When you are working with an uncharted design, finish
size equals the dimensions of the drawing you will follow.
When a design is charted, finished size depends upon the number
of canvas threads called for by the chart in relation to the
threads per inch in the canvas. If the canvas is too narrow,
lengths can be joined to get the necessary width. Make a pattern
of the prepared canvas - it will be need when it is time to
block the worked canvas.
