I use a titanium rotary Fiskar cutter, a board I bought for $10 from Corelle Outlet in St. Augustine, FL last December, and an 8 inch by 10 inch picture frame matt for the pattern for a mask that I use 3 pieces (same size). Two are folded over and one is the "front." The edges of the long side are folded over so channels are made for string/shoe laces/thick yarn. Tie it behind the head. No ear involvement. Eight (8) pounds of pressure can pull the ear off the head and profuse bleeding can cause death. Just Yell Fire videos for safety/buddy system/self defense link

I was interviewed for an ezine about Poncho Power. For more than 20 years I have been making ponchos for people who breast feed, people who have breast cancer, and now people getting dialysis. I made one wool one for my Dad. I make them for myself all the time out of old silk scarves or pashmina scarves from charity shops. I gave 40 ponchos to women at a shelter in Colorado during the fires years ago from new cotton fabric from Joann's Fabric. That was a lot of work. I don't go to movies, or plays or operas, and I make my own clothes and ponchos. Pretty green, maybe?
