Personality

Cuddling like little animals at the foot this personality of a tree

in our park - hm, the town's park

"He" is old and has an impressive profile.

Below: Slow sewing, all by hand - I decided to use this turquoise

fabric - the dark red one was half sewn and then judged as not

good and unpicked.

No, no, the red is dead, blunt, dull.

A suggestion of the boss of the house was black-white striped border -

like I did already several times.

No no - not black and white but turquoise.

I like it better -

I go on sewing - very small stitches - 7 on 1 cm

with an applique thread which I bought in France twenty years ago -

nearly invisible.

 

I dyed the turquoise fabric myself - Shibori technique -

ages ago when I didn't know the name Shibori yet -

we called it Plangi - it is the same method.

In the next post it will be finished, hopefully.

October can be golden

Through the park of the castle

 

 

 

round the corner they lost their leaves alrleady

I am doing some handsewing -

inspired by my patchwork friends last Friday

I printed the templates myself on thicker paper -

not copy paper but 160g/qm - it is a light cardboard

I have a link on the right sidebar. You can choose whatever

size or shape you want - and print it at home for free.

I think it is very generous of "Kunst und Markt" to place

this at patchers' disposal. It can even be translated if you wish.

 

 

Multiple reflections - 5 handsewn birds reflected by

the window and the mirror.

so long...

 

It is February

In Karlsruhe

We walk to town - it is about 2,5 km. Here we are on our way back.

The trees are being cut every year

Another fabric bin with Chinese horses

Impression of what I am working on

 

Lace - hiding a seam with French knots and buttonhole stitches -

cross stitch letters.

Don't ask me what it is going to be - just a sample perhaps.

Karlsruhe and a crazy bird

Wild flowers in nature on our walk to the park

... and inside the park the Botanical Gardens ....

 

 

and in the area there is a well-known art manufacture of ceramics

"Staatliche Majolika Manufaktur Karlsruhe"

Owls watching

more owls watching

This might be a bird bath - at the moment without water -

it is about 80 cm high.

 

It was morning in the park.

 

Next day:

A meeting with my patchwork friends and I was offered this

very funny crazy bird by Angelika -

I love him!

He is so very friendly funny.
