I ♥ Feltmaking


I went on a crazy felting mission the other evening. I had been pondering making a belt (for myself) for a while and had a few design ideas. I was planning on making a few test pieces, but no at 10.30pm I decided to just go for it and spent a really enjoyable evening adding all kinds of exciting bits and pieces to some jet black merino wool!
It seems to have worked and is looking pretty cool, I can't decide whether to add some embroidery/applique to it - maybe some beads and sequins. And I have to find a buckle for it, that is proving more difficult than I imagined

Crystals and Flakes

Humid air rising from a warm river on a cold, still morning can form hoar frost on nearby trees and grasses. From fog to flakes to frigid frosts, we have been seeing all kinds of winter weather lately. While this freezing and thawing may be frustrating for ski hills, icefishermen, and winter drivers, it does set the stage for spotting some interesting frosty phenomena with some funny names. Most people know that water condenses during cool nights to create dew , and frost is its winter companion. Shimmering ice crystals form when water vapor in the air attaches to cold solid surfaces, crusting up your lawn and drawing delicate designs on window panes. Have you ever woken up on a cold, clear morning to find the whole world covered in a beautiful white coating of hoar frost ? These especially large and beautiful crystals form when water vapor in humid air settles on objects that are well below freezing, turning directly into a solid (a process called " deposition "), or   bec

Nije me bilo dve sedmice jer  nisam stizala da se odvojim od lap topa i crtanja,posla i tako u krug.Ali kada me je put naveo da posetim po prvi put ekskluzivnu marinu Porto Montenegro u Tivtu iskoristila sam priliku i za fotkanje. Ovo je definitivno nova IN destinacija u komsiluku koja  privlaci u Tivat kapetane ,posadu ,velike jahte kao i turiste i transformise grad u jednu od vodecih destinacija plavog Jadrana. Marina je zamisao multimilionera Pitera Manka ,koji se nada da ce njegovi planovi to podrucje pretvoriti u glamurozno i ekonomsko zariste koje ce biti velika konkurencija rivalima kao sto su Monako,Kan i Portofino.Kompleks je podeljen u pet manjih celina pod imenima : Teuta,Ozana,Zeta,Tara i Milena.Projekat je ambiciozno sastavljen i u njegovom sadrzaju se nalazi i 185 vezova koji su skoro popunjeni i rekreativnim sadrzajima kao i soping centrom ,statusom medjunarodne luke kao i kompletnim servisom za snabdevanje jahti svim mogucim potrepstinama. Ovog meseca u “Porto Montenegr
