asked me some in my last post .....
this green yarn was made into this yarn ... (Übe-Coils. .... what else? ;-))
... but what do you do now it?
green .... May? Spring? Green? Was not it?
Oh yeah ......
Recently I alerted by a post in our Filzzauberschule on a project ....
"Green Carpet for Afghanistan"
photo from the exhibition "Green Carpet for Afghanistan", 2010, Greven near Münster, Barbara Rentrop-Merter (quote) " This is the title of a traveling exhibition that has set itself the goal of drawing attention to the country of Afghanistan, and in particular the fate of women. The green carpet is composed of many small textile works which were made by people from many countries since 2007. Pascale Goldenberg from Freiburg is the initiator and supervisor of this project. Afghanistan is predominantly a land of mountains, where the water is scarce. shows in many parts only barren slopes and valleys a few bushes and grasslands. Green can be the color of vegetation, religion or hope. In contrast to the "red carpet" the only celebrity in the world is submitted to the Green Carpet, an international collaborative effort, ie, the individual small green fabric parts of the carpet sections were made of people from many countries and donated as a contribution. In this way, growing green carpet on and on and is interpreted as a non-accessible work of art at major events and shows. He travels as a symbol of sympathy for the fate of the Afghan people and for the appreciation of nature around the world. "
So I had to" green "the idea that their own part to contribute to this rug ...
I think it's "Get in and sending in" not only that ... the "being there" ... but it goes for me here also about myself a little more deeply into the subject ....( I Afghanistan will not be a professor, but when I do something, I want to know why and what)
For I meant the topic mainly fear .... Fear of terror and fear for a person who is close to my heart and that is there (again) as a soldier ...
but that is only (m) a very small view of things ... who wants to know more about the country, after reading this ! ... Or here on the initiative of any Income of the exhibitions come to good.
The "technical" way, is quite simple .... Hungary to interpretation Soluvlies, cover with Soluvlies and criss-cross (or system ...) over it, sew on the sewing machine. Then the whole thing into the water that the fabric dissolves. Done. I have not even invented .... The idea came from a Filzzaubermitschülerin and there is also a book on this method (which I recommend, however, not necessarily because by and large is no longer there than what I have described here ...).. .
since the first fix was right, I tried one with a "system" to sew ...
the first part, I used to fix the wool nor (as recommended in the book) spray, as though I had my doubts. Legitimate concerns, as it turned out ... the wool felted a little and the glue of this material was not so right ... anyway ... it's just the back!
the second part, I tried it without the spray ... a slippery affair!! But it went ....
would be on Tuesday sent the two parts to be integrated into the "big picture" "....
who also like to join, click here to the letter and the "Guide" expression in order to download ....
And what you make from the yarn, if you sew no green carpets of Afghanistan??
since have I so other ideas ..... here there was a curtain "processed", the now adorns the door of a very special place ..... maybe there is soon a "real studio felt ball .... as well as I have some ideas ..... everything is (still) do not tell ;-)
Oh yes ... what the topic of "Sell" As .... What a great compliment!! I thank you all !!!!! doll But please give me a little thinking time! This must be a little in my "mature" ... greetings and wishes
spun a beautiful and sunny weekend of Pentecost
