It is a beautiful box, and a great story.
Today I will prepare for Monday's classes.
On the SWEPCO front, I am pursuing a new angle. SWEPCO's preferred route 33 passes between the main body of Pea Ridge National Battlefield Park and a small detached area of the park in which Union troops were held waiting for deployment in battle. Route 33 passes directly through a small bottleneck between those two portions of the park. I am seeking Congressional support for adding that land to the park. If that can be accomplished, the National Parks Service would have the last word, and put AEP/SWEPCO dead in the water.
Make, fix and create...
Dear Doug:
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Your beautiful box was honored by this noble,kind gesture.
Hi Doug,
ReplyDeleteAs a professional textile conservator, I am wondering if you took care to ensure that the interior of the box has a neutral level of acidity. If not, any flag or similar textile will promptly become very acidic, and will deteriorate rather quickly. Did you do anything to create a barrier to acidity transferring to any textile stored within the box? Best wishes,
Michele
I didn't make this flag box, so can't answer your question. I am uncertain what finishes would give the best ph balance. Shellac, perhaps?
