Sometimes you see something and wonder: Why on earth didn't I think of this? One of those thins was a basket made from an old book. And as the Writer just committed an old book to the circular file, MotherOwl picked it back up and set to folding.
Midten -- The middle |
Den færdige bund -- The bottom is finished |
If now somebody looks at this bottom and wonders. How is that done? It does not fit when I count. The answer is that MotherOwl did a little cheating. The middle field + two ring was just too square-like. A kind of recipe is in the coming photo. The lines are awkward and out of bias, sorry. MotherOwl is still fighting a mouse elbow, and is using the mouse in her left hand.
Hver af de kommende ringe vil være flettet af 48 led.
Each of the coming rings will be made from 48 links.
Grønne theposer, som Uglemo savner:
Det, der er vigtigt, er det store blad, og at posen er hel. Den grønne farve må gerne have andre nuancer. |
Baskets from old books? That is such a good idea! I've just sorted out all our books and have a huge pile I'm getting rid of. Gemma-Rose and I want to keep a few of the hardback books so we can recycle them into new notebooks and journals, using the covers. I never thought about recycling the pages!
SvarSletThank you. I feel the need for gettng a creative project done. Not just the day to day chores, which you won't notice in a day - or in an hour - but something that stays.
SletI threw out the covers, I should have found a way of recycling those as well, I see.
Sikke et fint udtryk det giver med de gamle bøger:)
SvarSletTak, det er en idé jeg har tyvstjålet, men jeg er forbløffet over hvor fint det egentlig bliver i virkeligheden.
SletJeg var lige forbi min lokale Røde Kors i dag, de sælger theposebundter til en 5'er stykket, talte dog ikke hvor mange i hvert bundt, men sådan en 4-5 cm tykkelse? Fordelt på ens farver i hver pakke.
SvarSletHvis de har nogle grønne som dem på det nederste billede - hear jeg lige tilføjet, så må du gerne købe dem. Keg betaler gerne indkøb og porto.
SletJeg skal faktisk ned på torvet i eftermiddag, så kigger jeg da lige! :)
SletMange tak! De er ankommet.
