Dough makes decorative craft Believe me, there's dough to be made with dough-bread dough, that is. On a recent trip to Richmond, Virginia, I talked with Stan Dimae, a cr after of miniature dough items. Dimae creates small magnets and decorative "set-arounds" from a mixture of flour, salt, vegetable oil and "TLC." Dimae's "Tiny Treats" became so lucrative for him while he was a student at the University of Michigan, that he dropped out in order to pursue this successful "hobby." However, Hoke County has its own dough craft expert. Although she chooses to work with ready made breads, Cathy James has found, like Dimae, that there are other uses for bread doughs. James crafts pretzels and bagels in to wreaths and decorations. One of the exhibiting crafters at the Turkey Festival, James will again be selling her items at the Christmas Home Tour and Craft Show, sponsored by Raeford Junior Woman's Club on December 8. "I believe my best selling items at the Turkey Festival were my pretzel wreaths and potpourri Hoke Arts Scene By Sonya Falls hearts," says James, as she displays her work. Her pretzel wreaths are intert wined with colorful Christmas rib bon and glued carefully together. She plans to have plenty of these to sell along with smaller pretzel wreaths, just the right size for decorating the Christmas tree. Other unusual items that she specializes in are her bagel mice. Bagels are covered with a polyurethane spray to prevent deterioration after James removes a chunk from the side. There, caught in the act, she glues a small wooden mouse. Adding a colorful ribbon and bow, the item can be displayed on the wall by its brass ring hanger. James has been making crafts for about two years. A resident of Hoke Countv for 1 3 years, she en joys visiting relatives in the North and taking her craft ideas with her. Often, she returns with lots of new ideas, herself. "It's really surprising to see what's popular in another part of the country. Wooden crafts up North are really hot now, whereas, here in the South, they may be dy ing out a little," she says. "I've thought about getting into the wooden crafts, but there are so many people doing that. The ex pense might be too much," James explains. As with all draft people, expense is a concern with James. "1 have to really shop around to find the best price on supplies. Crafts have to be priced just right before people will buy them," she adds. Patrons of the home tour and craft show will probably find a good price on her items and a variety of things from which to choose. Baskets, potpourri hoops and hearts, decorated hats, and the bread crafts - all ate a part of her talent. It's worth the price of a ticket to see just how cleverly Cathy James has turned bread into real "bread." Thanksgiving break House of Raeford employees and friends take a ! break from a hectic holiday schedule to enjoy an earl}]. Thanksgiving meal. Turkey dressing and a large assortment of homemade dishes and desserts were served during the affair which was held last Wednesday at the plant.
