The magnificent seven

Some time ago I happened to leaf through a magazine where the project was presented to make a fabric butterfly as if it were an origami.
The article was interesting, it's a pity that, come spesso capita, the instructions were anything but detailed, and indeed I had to work hard to figure it out, since in addition to the description which is absolutely not exhaustive, in the photographs accompanying the article a fundamental step had been skipped.
Only by going fishing here and there up internet I was able to fill that gap.
Now that niet exhibits, niet contests, travel niet, there is nothing left for me to do but play a little’ with the cloth, and I would have thought of making gods cotillon to give to friends. Continua a leggere

Persist is diabolical

After first Quiet Book It was had been left something to spare, of pieces of cloth, of ideuzze, and some more’ of enthusiasm.
Thanks to some tutorial found online (by Irina Sorokina and Sviatlana Balybina) I realized the game squares which I then assembled into a Quiet Book by Maja, and I suppose that his three years is the right age to have fun with this “Book calm”.

It's nothing that, of simple shapes to detach and reattach to pleasure (rather “patterned”), But I confess that I came to realize it myself a bit’ child.
So it seems that a Quiet Book I have not been enough. I have made a second, I persevered, devilishly, and maybe, but I do not promise anything, I'll make others, chissà. I'm not mica Paganini…

Quit… Quet… Quite… Quiet Book

Eccomi qua. For months I will not be alive on this blog, either for lack of time, Look for some ailment, and either for lack of arguments.
A little something I would have combined, but I wait for a good opportunity to expose it somewhere.
Però, Meanwhile, I want to show you a bagattelluzza I made for the birthday of a friend. Si tratta di un Quiet Book, a Browse Object that usually puts in the hands of a child / a in order to detach and reattach, disassemble and reassemble, around and around, learn to play with his imagination.
My friend is obviously a bit’ grown-up to have fun with Quiet Book, say it will be fine for her granddaughter, But he was going to give her this "joke", since she is engaged in the sale of some products that appear between the pages of the book.
I can say that the gift was very welcome, and that generated a lot of curiosity among the participants of the festival, which incidentally it was a surprise, given that very few imagined that we could achieve something with the fabric remnants.
By committing a venial sin of vanity I plugged in blog this short film, and although it is not a masterpiece I'm proud because, as always, the bill is that the drawings are solely my own work.
Allora, what do you think?
Try you too, It is funny!

 

Esperimento (poco) segreto

Dato che mano e polso mi stanno dando ancora dei fastidi, ho pensato (good?) di fare di necessità virtù, quindi sto cercando nuove tecniche espressive, battendo nuovi sentieri che promettono di complicarmi la vita.
Adesso è il turno delle matite acquarellabili, l’uso delle quali sto apprendendo per somma di errori, anche grazie alla difficoltà di reperire dei materiali accessori, persino sconosciuti anche ai rivenditori di queste matite. Proprio oggi ho trovato, per caso, in a small pharmacy of Koper / Koper the type of gel that here I was looking for a while '.
Se vi servono altre informazioni non avete che da scrivermi, sarò felice di darvi delle dritte.

Senza mani!

Eccomi qua, con un polso malandato e l’altra mano invece pure.
Per fortuna la vista mi è di grande aiuto, nel senso che già da un bel po’ dovrei andare a controllarla, ma per il momento va bene così, vedendoci meno i difetti passano inosservati.
Negare, negare sempre, anche l’evidenza. Nego a me stessa che sarebbe anche ora di smettere, di passare oltre per dedicarsi ad attività meno sfibranti del patchwork, che ne so, il poker, la speculazione in borsa, la fabbricazione di esplosivi, la roulette russa…
E invece no.
Così, un po’ per passare il tempo, un po’ per dipendenza, e un po’ per regalare qualcosa di originale, mi sono ritrovata quest’autunno a finire questi tre lavoretti che già da un bel pezzo vagavano da un cassetto all’altro.

Sunflowers

Rimango sempre sorpresa quando mi salta in mente una parola che nulla ha a che fare con la situazione nella quale mi trovo e che è la sintesi perfetta della situazione nella quale mi trovo. The word in question is "sunflowers", che poi sarebbe anche il titolo di questo post.
Come già si sa, I enjoy the personalized services of a small tourist agency, so small that when I travel is with me. Ebbene, that night he was there, I and my agency, a gustarci una Edelweiss placidamente seduti al tavolino di una brasserie Alsatian, quando, treacherously, here comes you that finding: because we are the two of us here?
