Mere flet -- More Candy wrapper Baskets

     Så er den blå, buttede kurv blevet færdig, og den er blevet som Uglemor forestillede sig, så det bliver ikke den sidste buttede kurv i Uglebo.
      Måske kunne det være djligt med en i kæmpestørrelse til strikketøj eller garn. Der er mange underlige kurve der rumsterer i Uglemors hjerne. Lad os se om de når ud i fingrene.

The blue chubby basket is finished. It turned out as MotherOwl imagined, and it is not the last chubby basket in the Owlery.
Maybe MotherOwl should make some big ones to hold knitting projects, legos, and various other projects in need of a home.  MotherOwl is turning over many more or less impractical basket projects in her brain. Time will tell how many reach the fingers and come into life.

• Lapperne til de blå ringe og til den kedelige bund er 9 x 4 cm og de midterste led er 10 x 4,5 cm. Det er det der gør at kurven bliver buttet. 
• The squares for the blue chains and the grey bottom are 4 x 9 cm, and the middle ones are 4,5 x 10 cm. This small difference in the size, which is down to a few millimetres once the chain links are folded, is what makes the basket chubby i.e. thicker in the middle region. 

   Det er altid inspirerende at se hvad andre kan finde på, og ReCyklisten er temmelig inspirerende. I dag handlede det om trekantflet, så det måtte Uglemor også lige prøve. Først i en ensfarvet udgave, her blandet med almindeligt firkantflet. Lapperne til firkantflet skal være en cm længere end trekantsfletlapperne, for at det hele ender i samme størrelse. Det tog lidt tid at finde ud af, hvordan man syede de to slags sammen, men pludselig var den der bare.

It is inspiring to look at other peoples blogs and once again ReCyklisten is inspiring. Today she told of triangular chains. MotherOwl had seen many tries at triangular modules, but never with the wish to try it out. Not so today MotherOwl had to try. As it is Sunday, we had cakes from the bakery, and one of the bags were not dirty, and had a delightful coffee brown colour. First try was a plain triangular chain times 2 sewed together with a normal square module one in the middle -- square modules need to be 1 cm longer, but same width as the triangular for the chains to and up alike in measurements.

• Trekantflet i begge ender med en almindelig firkantflettet midterring. Jeg synes det minder om kaffebønner. 
• 2 chains with triangular effect surrounding a normal chain. I think the triangular ones look a bit like coffee beans.

Så måtte der leges lidt med farver, prøv bare at se, hvor forskelligt det kan se ud. Uglemor løb tør for kagepose, men andet papir må også kunne bruges. Det blå er et stykke origamipapir på 15 x 15 cm. Der kunne blive hele 8 lapper.

Then a blue colour joined the fun. Just look how different the same two colours cam be made to look.
MotherOwl ran out of cookie bag at this point. The blue is one square of origami paper cut into 8 pieces.

• I nederste række er leddene skiftevis blå og brune, i den øverste er det kun hver 4. der er blåt.
• In the lower chain the squares are alternating blue and brown. In the topmost chain every 4th square is a blue one.
