  1. Hello, I am new here, and very happy to see this website. I am a homeschooling mother and seamstress. I have always thought about making a kite, and it seems now the time is ripe. My hope is to find a way to make a kite the traditional way, before all the synthetic plastics came around. I do have access to bamboo and was thinking of patchwork with silk that I find here and there. These are my first thoughts. But, I have also been wondering about making a frame from Kudzu vine. I live in the southeast of the U.S. where it has taken over... and my side yard is covered in it. I guess to be simple, 1. I am looking for a traditional design that would suit a beginner and 2. Has anyone heard of making the traditional frame from anything but bamboo? i.e.vines... and oh yea 3. Is it possible to use lightweight cotton instead of silk? Thank you for any replies! Jamie
