Backi


Že iz prejšnje objave se da sklepati, da je bil pri nas v preteklih dneh čas za fimo. Poleg Stekleničk upanja, transferjev in obeskov za verižice je nastalo tudi pet ovčk, ki pa so tokrat malo drugačne. Namreč, ko me je mravljinček prejšnjič videl, kako delam majhne bele kroglice za ovčko, je predlagal, da bi jih nadomestila s stiropornimi kroglicami: spekla bi osnovo (telo, glavo in noge), jo nato premazala z lepilom in nalepila kroglice. Ker sem - seveda - imela zalogo stiropornih kroglic doma (ni bilo treba "ribati" kakšne embalaže) in ker sem - seveda - imela v omari tudi posebno lepilo za stiropor, sva idejo preizkusila. Za prvič je rezultat kar fajn, nekaj malenkosti bomo še dodelali, pa bo. V primerjavi s prvima dvema so te ovčke nekoliko večje, nekoliko lažje in zaradi stiropora zelo prijetne na otip. Pa še kroglice so bolj pravilno okrogle :)

p.s.: Naj vas slike ne zavedejo - ovčk je zaenkrat pet. Ampak ko sem videla rezultat foto seanse, so mi bile slikice tako všeč, da sem se odločila za kolaž.

LITTLE SHEEP

My previous post already gave a hint that it was fimo time in our house in the past few days. Beside Bottles of Hope, transfer images and pendants, five more sheep were made, but they are a bit different this time. Namely, when my dear hubby saw me making those little white balls of fimo for the first two sheep, he suggested making and baking a base (body, head and legs), putting some adhesive on it and covering it in styrofoam balls. And because I had - of course - a stash of styrofoam balls (so we didn't have to dismantle any styrofoam packaging) and because I had - of course - a special glue for styrofoam, we gave it a try. I'm quite pleased with the first result, there are just a few minor things to improve. Compared to the first two, these sheep are a bit larger, somewhat lighter and very pleasant to touch because of the styrofoam. And the little white balls have a more regular round shape :)

p.s.: Don't let the photos fool you - there are only five of sheep for now. But when I saw the results of the photoshooting, I liked the images so much that I decided to make a collage.
