When I went to the national conference in New Orleans a few years ago there
was a workshop where they painted the large part of the tie with white latex
and decorated them with everything imaginable that could be painted or glued
on. They were neat, but it was a workshop I only saw the results of and
asked about. Linda K. in Iowa
