Jeg måtte stoppe ham, da han til sidst - brølende af latter - stod og tog billeder af loftet. Kender du Sten & Stoffer? - Han lignede præcis Sten med dét der kæmpe frække grin.
Tørklædet er ultra simpelt. Inspireret af et (temmeligt dyrt) tørklæde fra et kendt tøjmærke. Jeg havde noget gaze liggende, som jeg sikkert engang i tidernes morgen havde købt til at nuno filte på. Kom det i en kraftig opløsning af Stockmar akvarelfarve (jep, jeg farver både uld, bomuld og silke med akvarelfarver). Foldede kanterne op og syede stikkesting med koksfarvet broderigarn. Syede tilsidst kvaste på af noget silkegarn jeg havde tilovers fra A's babysvøb. Voila!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
12 things for my self - #4
I was trying to do a self portrait, so I could show this scarf I made for my self (I simply can't understand how to do the fancy »from above« shots) - when little S entered with a rose he'd »rescued« for me. He seldom picks or find anything - he rescues! - So this sweet little guy sees my troubles and politely offers to help. And he really did, thoroughly!
I had to stop him, when he - roaring with laughter - was »shooting« at the ceiling. You know Calvin & Hobbes? - Well, he looked exactly like Calvin with that huge audacious grin!
The scarf is ultra simple. I was inspired by a (quite expensive) scarf made by a well known clothing company. I had some gauze lying around, which I probably bought years and years ago for nuno felting. Dyed it with a strong solution of Stockmar watercolor (yup, I dye silk and wool as well as cotton with watercolors). Folded the edges twice, and stiched it with coke gray embroidery thread. Sewed on a few tassels made with some silk yarn from my stash (originally used for a baby blanket for A). Voila!

Skønne billeder og lækkert tørklæde! Og så har jeg forresten et gammelt skab med præcis samme farve som dit :) God sommer!
ReplyDeleteHvor er det smukt, Mona... Det er du også. Din søde lille søn har gjort et fint stykke fotoarbejde... Skønt indlæg og dejlige billeder.

Lovely scarf!

ReplyDeleteHej Mona.
ReplyDeleteDet er et meget smukt tørklæde!
Hvordan farver du med Stockmar akvarelfarver?

Hej Mona.
ReplyDeleteNu har jeg farvet et smukt lilla tørklæde med din stockmar teknik! Tak for hjælpen!
Nu har jeg lyst til at farve mere. Kender du til om jeg kan købe øko tekstil farve i danmark? Eller plantefarver? Noget man kan farve indenfor uden for meget svineri og arbejde.. Kh. Trinelailahansen@hotmail.com
