Kvadratno in okroglo

SQUARES AND CIRCLES

Tile moje kvadratki (2,5 cm seveda) so se pojavljali že marsikje:
These little squares of mine (2.5 cm, of course) have appeared in many places:

iz papirja - na takšnih in drugačnih voščilnicah
made of paper - on various cards

in na manjših in večjih lesenih škatlah
and on smaller and larger wooden boxes

iz fima - za eno spomladansko in eno zimsko izmenjavo
made of Fimo - for one spring and one winter swap

tokrat - za ogrlico
this time - for a necklace

Pa še med koščki za nakit sem našla kovinske kvadratke.
And I even found some metal squares among my jewellery findings.

Še enkrat krogle

SPHERES - ONCE MORE

V vijoličnih tonih, v različnih velikostih, v družbi z zlatom.
In purple tones, of different sizes, accompanied by gold.

Čisto rahlo ... nepričakovano, vsaj kar se mene tiče :)
Just a little bit ... unexpected, as far as I am concerned :)

Trije eksperimenti v enem

THREE EXPERIMENTS IN ONE

- večje, a vseeno relativno lahke kroglice (prišepnem, da imajo sredico iz aluminijaste folije)
- na žici, ne čisto ena ob drugi
- siva lestvica odtenkov + ena "rdeča kapica" :)

- larger, but still relatively light beads (a hint: they have their core made of aluminium foil)
- strung on wire, but not tightly together
- grey shades + one "little red riding hood" :)

Iz rumene in rdeče

FROM YELLOW AND RED

Za luč. Za toplino.
For the light. For the warmth.

PENDANTS (1)

Iz znanih "faraonskih" barv sem naredila plahto za škatlo od bonbonov, pa sem se v zadnjem trenutku spomnila, koliko navdušenja je bilo prejšnjič nad temi barvami. In sem namesto ene škatle naredila nekaj več uporabnih kosov.
I took the familiar "pharaoh" colours and wanted to cover another candy box, but in the last moment, I remembered how thrilled people were over these colours the last time. So instead of one box, I made several useful pieces.

Nekaj bleščičastih in štempiljkastih. Ena mehurčkasta. En na tanko razvaljan in namečkan polžek. Tiste v sivih tonih pa so nastale, ko sem si hotela iz črne in bele namešati nekaj odtenkov sive. Pa so nastajali taki vzorci, da jih nisem imela srca pregnest v enobarvne plahtice.
Some with glitter, some with stamps. One with bubbles. One coil, rolled at the thinnest setting and crumpled into shape. The ones in grey tones just kept emerging as I wanted to mix black and white into some shades of grey. And I just couldn't bring myself to keep mixing and destroy these beauties.

Zapestnice

BRACELETS

Mavrične. Bonbončkaste. Koralaste.
Rainbows. Candies. Corals.

In iz tega pisanega kupčka ...
And from this colourful pile ...

... ta pisana zbirka
... this colorful collection.

Pisano in veselo za Pikin BazArt

COLOURFUL AND JOYFUL FOR PIPPI'S BAZART

V soboto, 22. septembra, je ob zaključku Pikinega festivala v Velenju potekal tudi umetniški sejem BazArt.
Last Saturday, 22 September, was the last day of the Pippi Longstocking's festival. And on that day, a crafters' fair trade BazArt also took place in Velenje.

Moje priprave :)
My preparations :)

Vzorec na ogled
A little exhibition

Del moje stojnice
One part of my stand

Največ zanimanja je bilo za prstane, uhančke in seveda za moje prašičke :)
The most interesting items were rings, earrings and, of course, my little piglets :)

Se nadaljuje ...
To be continued

Fimo povzetek mojega tihega poletja (3)

FIMO SUMMARY OF MY SILENT SUMMER (3)

Ena runda je bila v vijoličnih in zelenih tonih - v smeri poskusa ponovitve enega uspelega projekta (za izpolnitev želje).
One session was in purple and green tones - mostly as an attempt to remake one of my successful projects (to grant a wish).

Ponovitev uspela, želja izpolnjena.
Remake successful, wish fulfilled.

Še ostali - nekaj obeskov. Osnova za dva od treh vijoličnih je po Bettininih imenitnih navodilih.
The rest - a few pendants. The basic pattern for two of the three purple ones was made by following Bettina's fabulous tutorial.

FIMO SUMMARY OF MY SILENT SUMMER (2)

Ko se nabere precejšen kupček fimo ostankov, a so barve še ravno dovolj raznovrstne, da jih je škoda zgnesti v enobarvno (beri: blatnobarvno) kepo, in ko da navdih na vrata napis "Do nadaljnjega me ni", se človek pač zateče k nečemu preverjenemu.

When a pretty large amount of fimo scraps piles up, but the colours are still varied enough and you don't want to make a single-coloured (mud-coloured, that is) blob out of them, and when the inspiration puts up a sign that says "Gone until further notice", you just go for something familiar.

Štirje kosi pravih mer - za še eno Illy škatlo.
Four pieces of right measurements - for another Illy box.

Polžke sem morala sestaviti na kuhinjski mizi, potem pa sem jih odnesla na balkon in jih dokončala v senčki :)
I had to assemble the coils on the kitchen table, but then I took them to the balcony and finished them in the shade :)

Ena za pokrov, ena za dno.
One for the lid, one for the bottom.

Gotova. Slikana na soncu.
Finished. Photo taken in the sun.

Dno. (Pokrov je na prvi sliki te objave.)
The bottom. (The lid is in the first photo of this post.)

Še od strani, leže. "Šiv" sem tokrat obdelala malo bolj reliefno. Je malo drugače, pa neprimerno lažje.
Another view, from the side, laid down. This time, I tried to finish the "seam" in a different way. Definitely much easier.

Škatlo sem namenila za darilo za zahvalo. Prejemnik je bil navdušen - nad idejo, izvedbo, še najbolj pa nad barvami :)
The box was given away as a thank-you gift. The person who received it was thrilled - about the idea, the work and most of all, he loved the colours. :)

FIMO SUMMARY OF MY SILENT SUMMER (1)

Po daljšem premoru je kotiček nazaj.
Toliko, da pokaže nekaj poletnih dogodivščin.
Potem se bo pa že cel ustvarjalni svet že tako ali tako nagibal proti čarovnicam in bučam, pa smrečicam in jelenčkom - in bo pač treba s tokom ...

After a longer pause, my little corner is back.
To show you some summer adventures.
And then the entire crafting world will be ready to plunge into witches and pumpkins, and Christmas trees and reindeer - and we're just gonna have to go with the flow ...

Danes nekaj mavričnih.
Barve za koleščke namešane tako, kot sem to že počela, iz barv št. 16, 22 in 39.
I'll start with the rainbow.
I mixed the colours the way I'd already done it before, using Fimo Soft No. 16, 22 in 39.

Iz preostalih koščkov - poskus približka mavričnega preliva.
I used the rest to make an attempt at a rainbow blend.

Sestavljeno v zapestnici.
Two bracelets put together.

Še nekaj igrarij.
Some more colour play.

Mali srčki so nekako kar sami pristali na črni hrapavi podlagi ... in kar takoj dobili novo lastnico :)
Little hearts somehow just landed on the coarse black background ... and immediately got a new owner right :)

Ostanke sem skupaj z belim Fimom natresla v ekstruder in naredila tiste najtanjše - Barilla 01 :)
I took the scraps and some white Fimo, put them all in the extruder and made some thin spaghetti - Barilla 01 :)

In z njimi okrasila dve škatli za bonbone. Tokrat je bil postopek drugačen: tanke spirale sem najprej spekla in jih potem pečene vtisnila v hrapavo belo/črno prevleko, da so ohranile obliko.
I used them to decorate two candy boxes. This time, the procedure was a little bit different: I baked the coils first and only then pressed them in white/black coating to keep their shape.

Voilá - dve škatlici za majhne dragocenosti mojih dveh največjih dragocenosti.
Voilá - two little boxes to store little precious things - for my two most precious ones.
