Cloth Covered Wire: I've had a small business making wedding cakes and I make the hand molded gumpaste (sugarpaste) flowers for my cakes. I use the wire that you are talking about. I order it from a wonderful place in Virginia called: Beryl's Cake Decorating & Pastry Supplies Web page: http://www.beryls.com They carry the wire in the smaller gauges 28, 30, 32. Also they carry petal powder colors we use on the sugar flowers-not sure if they will last, but I have some flowers on display that have been colored for 8 years and they still are bright and fresh. Also, in their catalog they have all kinds of texture makers, such as cobblestone, brick, basket weave, to name a few. She specializes in European roll fondant supplies for making really unique cakes a lot of which are decorated with scenes of mini items. A wealth of possibilities! Ginny |

Fireplaces: To me the crème de la crème is the ones made by Sue Cook. She is an artisan. She does not have a website and her catalogue does not do them justice, but once seen its a must have! They can be finished in your own choice, so making them quite unique. I have one with over mantle mirror. side tiles, hand painted and decorated with cherubs. She does ship internationally. Her address is: This site also looks interesting http://achildatheart.safeshopper.com/19/cat19.htm Pauline UK |

Worry Free Wiring: A question about hidden wiring problems. . My solution: Run solid, break free sections of wire beneath siding and where it's not available in the finished wall or floor. Solder all joints. Coat them with Silicon Sealer (aquarium sealer). This will take a long time because you have to let this sealer cure or dry overnight. The wait will be worth it. You can now go on and dress the rest of the house without worry about wiring. I often run wires out the side beneath a hollow chimney or wood box or some exterior feature. Then hinge the feature to allow access to this junction. Very like a fuse box for a real house. How else to access the wiring. Maybe you can make a real looking fuse box to contain your wire junctions if the period allows. Judie - Daytona Beach, FL |
