I came across this Mastercrafts series today. I'm shocked to discover that Knitting isn't one of the Mastercrafts covered. I'll post the rest of the series as I watch them.
Wow, after watching the video below about what would happen to the world if humans disappeared, it's evident that stone is one of the most resilient material we have in our arsenal.
I think I'll go back to basics and get my computer backups cast on to stone tablets.......... If only! The video led me to wonder what exactly stone is and how exactly we've been crafting with it. Most importantly, it would be nice to figure out why the heck we stopped. I stumbled across the crocheted version of the knitted fingerless gloves I'm hoping to show my beginners knitters how to make. I've promised to give a crochet lesson sometime in the very near future so this will probably be our first project.
I was out and about today hoping to find some boxing day bargains. It didn't take long t discover there wasn't a bargain to be had in sight within my vicinity, so I decided to have a browse around my local TK Maxx which has bargains all year round. For those who don't know, TK Maxx is a designer discount shop that sells, clothes, accessories, toiletries etc.
Having moved from Portsmouth, where I had a large garden to take care of, to a gardenless abode here in London, I'm seriously beginning to miss having a bit of outdoor space to look after. There's a bit of land around the Portacabin I use as my office that can be turned in to a temporary garden which I guess is going to have to do for now.
I have to admit Russia was never a place that even remotely interested me. In fact I was slightly scared of Russians.....even thought I didn't, and still don't know any! You see that's the problem with watching too much TV and subliminally ingesting the crap that is called TV. In my mind Russian women are nice to look at (in a hard sort of way) but the mail order Russian bride always springs to mind, and Russian men are all in the army and want to drop bonds on me and my menfolk. Can't governments just drop bombs on each other and leave the rest of us out of it?
Wow! how beautiful are wood-turned coloured-pencils pieces of art? I stumbled across these visions of beauty as I was surfing the net and had to find out how they are made. If I didn't know before, I certainly know now that wood turning is something I definately want to turn my hand to.
Ever wondered how wax models are made, you know, the type you find at Madame Tussauds and...........ok, Madam Tussauds! Watch the video below to find out how.
How do bees make honey? I should really know considering a few years back I had this crazy idea that I was going to get a hive to help bump up the dwindling bee population. In fact I went as far as buying a book on the subject which I flicked through .......................and then put aside???? Not sure what happened there, I did go out soon afterwards to buy some lavender plants so I probably thought that was an adequate contribution towards the fight against bee extinction and ultimately our own. No bees, no pollination, no people!
Needle felting is a process which uses barbed needles to interlock wool fibers to form a more condensed material. Wool fibers have scales which when rubbed against each other catch and lock into place to create this denser material called felt. Felting needles are used to entangle the fibers.
