Deirdre, do you remember who taught this class on making dog collars?  
Or did you get a class handout?

Or has anyone here investigated this subject? I'd love to have a how- 
to or a history of dog collars article for the Florilegium.

For that matter, considering the recent interest in equestrian  
activities in this kingdom and the wonderful barding that I saw at  
this last event, I'd love to have either type of article on horse  
barding as well.
