A FINE MESH

 

Each string of letters below contains two words woven together. First, separte the two words. The two words can then be expressed in a rebus that forms a common phrase, but you have to write the rebus, using a connecting word that you must determine. For example, given the letter string, STOTHRE, the two words are THE and STORY. The rebus is STOTHERY (or some variation of this) - meaning THE INSIDE STORY. #6 is tricky, and #7 is an expression unfamiliar to me.
