I've only made about four really worthwhile footbags, but I figure I might as well start looking into unusual designs for variety and such. I saw the 'stars and tears 12' bag on Daniel Botkin's site http://www.valinet.com/~dbotkin/custom.html and i tried making that, but it turned out like a cyclinder. Any suggestions/tips? Additionally, has anyone here sewn a twisted-style footbag? Are they tough to sew, and if its not copyrighted and illegal, could someone share the pattern with me? I can handle any image format. Thanks a lot. Oh and by the way. Sometimes the topic of plastic pellet fills comes up, and I'm suggesting as a possibility these plastic pellets that you can get at any craft store like michaels or jo-ann. they're for acrylic water displays and are supposed to expand and look like cracked ice. they supposedly expand if they get wet, but that may only be if they go in acrylic water because i currently have these pellets submerged in water and they aren't expanding, so i wouldn't worry. try em out if you like. . _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=7474&SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_smartspamprotection_3mf
