Skoraj malo preveč pogumno sem se javila, da bom 30 paketkov starega, posušenega Fima spravila v obvladljivo stanje...
Ampak gre. Celo presenetljivo dobro. Sicer je potreben čas, pa malo potrpljenja, ampak rezultati so pa... nad pričakovanji :)
/ I volunteered, almost a bit too boldly, to bring 30 blocks of old, dry Fimo back to useful condition...
But it's going quite well. Surprisingly well, even. It does take time, though, and a bit of patience, but the results are... above expectations :)
Blok Fima. Saj vem, da se mu na sliki ne vidi, ampak je tako suh, da ima že skoraj vozovnico za koš za smeti.
/ A Fimo block. I know the photo doesn't show, but it is so dry that it already has a ticket to the trash can.
Po prvem drobljenju izgleda kot nekaj iz kakega rudnika.
/ After the first round of crumbling, it looks like something brought from some kind of a mine.
Koščki prestreženi izpod pašta mašine, stisnjeni skupaj, prevaljani. Nekajkrat ponovljeno. Se že več ne drobi tako zelo.
/ Pieces caught from underneath the clay roller, pressed together, rolled again. Repeated a few times. Not so crumbly any more.
Še nekaj ponovitev na tanjši nastavitvi.
/ Some more repetitions on a thinner setting.
Pa zopet na debelejši.
/ And back to thicker setting.
In zadnjič na najdebelejši.
/ And for the last time, on the thickest setting.
Razrezano na ploščice 5 x 5 cm.
/ Cut to 5 by 5 cm squares.
Take so dosti bolj obvladljive... no, poleg tega, da so tudi neprimerno bolj srčkane :)
/ They are much easier to work with like this... well, beside the fact that they are way cuter :)
Zložene ena na drugo, vmes plasti peki papirja.
/ Stacked, with sheets of non-stick paper between them.
Kupček pripravljen za nadaljnjo obdelavo. Oh, koliko možnosti! Ampak njihova najbolj osnovna vloga bo v delavnicah, kjer bomo v tem mesecu izdelovali Stekleničke upanja (ker je bil ta Fimo tudi prvotno na ta namen).
/ A little stack - ready for further work. Oh, the possibilities! But their most basic role will be in this month's workshops where we will be making Bottles of Hope (because this Fimo was actually originally intended for this purpose).
Še nekaj drugih, sončnih barv:
/ A few other, sunny colours:
In v kupčkih.
/ And in stacks.
Še približno enkrat toliko me čaka. Pašta mašina pa pravi, da ko bo tega konec, bo šla za par dni v toplice :)
/ I've got approximately one half of it done. And my clay roller says once this is over, it will take a few days off :)
