Of This And That
» '
It cannot be said for a certainty
that the ladies in Kodiak and in
various parts of the Island excell
in working at various hobbys. No
one would want to make a com-;
parison ‘between the'IadieS here
and those in various other parts
of the country, as to the extent of
their efforts along .this line and
the quality of output. ^ *•
Kodiak does, however, lend it-,
self to the practice of many hob
bies. It is Startlingat times to
see the finer handiwork produced
and the artistic ability displayed.^
So many tiinesl the materials,,
used are the simplest and com
mon items found 'everywhere.
Who of us have not literally
gasped aft the -real works of art
displayed using a piece of common
driftwood, which is transformed
into a beautiful tablelamp, center
piece, figurine, or that of** a drift
wood arrangement.
In the matter of the king crab.
Almost everyone happily devours
this succulent - morsel from ;the
deep—but have you seen some of f
miladys hats made•’: from \* tjie-,
shells? Some are truly works of
art . Most recently - manysaw
some of these made by Mayor
Coon’s wife, - Louise.. . • Then
there was the Festival' (jtieen’a;
crown, made by the EmblemrClub
president, Ann Mueller. Other
fine specimens are crab teeth ear
, ■ - y j-k. •> »-•;
rings and neckpieces."
Another form of hobby endiil
ged in by sojne ladies, is painting.
We have in our midst ladies who
have turned, this hobby into a'
profession . . . this hobby, how
ever, is not confined to those of
exceptional talent. There are
many here who regard themselves
as lowly amateurs, as you may
have read in these columns a few
weeks ago. The main point is they
are exercising a talent that may be
latent—it is an urge for artistic
expression.
Some ladies, too, are stamp col
lectors — coin collectors — even
matchbox collectors.
With summer coming on, all
that is necessary is to go into the
woods, onto the beaches, where
ever you go—you may find some
thing that you can turn into a
fascinating hobby. For instance,
did you ever see salt and pepper
shakers made from butter clam
shells? They are beautiful and dif
ferent. (By the way, there’s an
excellent tide today and tomor
row, for digging clams.)
To bear out the foregoing ob
servation of what’s happening
hobby-wise in other parts of the
island, here is a report from
Jackie Lugue of Moser Bay on the
same subject:
_A A
Hobby News
On some , of the beaches here
and around Kodiak Island there
are tiny snail shells. These shells
are similar in appearance to
pearls other than their shape.
They can be made into necklaces.
In a souvenir shop at the Tacoma,
Seattle Airport, I saw some very
attractive necklaces made from
these snail shells. Some were nat
ural-just highly polished, others
were slightly tinted. They were
priced at $6.50 per necklace.
Making these snail shell neck
laces could be an interesting and
lucrative hobby.
Marta Matfay and her sister-in
law, Luba Noumoff, from Old Har
bar are at Moser Bay every sum
mer during fishing Reason. Their
husbands have gijlnet sets in this
vicinity. Both ladies are excep
tionally good at the art of grass
Weaving. This is their hobby dwv
