two brilliant ideas

I reread my post about fencing and I decided to Google some fencing sites... I think I may be able to salvage old lames (fencing gear) to use for my glove project!! Apparently at some point the wire matrix doesn't work and they can't fix it no more so they have to throw it away! I guess I am excited because I am really much into the idea of not buying parts and recycling and reusing. What can I say, I am a green girl... i hate to throw things away. I have a whole new appreciation for junk! And I am trying out this thing where I don't spend spend spend. Although I will admit to lusting after the iPhone. Neat.

The other idea I had is that if I were a kid using this, there is an unfair advantage to people with bigger hands. Wouldn't it be cool and funny if the thumbs were extended? Like Uma's mutant extended thumb in Even Cowgirl's Get the Blues. Sorry I couldn't find a photo of it. Then it would be completely fair for those of us with short thumbs.
