Where Do You Go To Make Your Own Dress?

Pung and checkers

I have now finished pieces to the two remaining games and combined it suffices to playing board. I kept the decor of the sketch (see previous post) but chose to use other, more subtle colors. The wax is colored with brown umber to the bright pieces and a mix of terra sienna and zinc white to the dark. For the pieces I sewed a purse of goatskin which I embroidered with fine blue wool. Scrotum is inspired by a bargain from Helgeandsholmen with the same dimensions and which had traces of embroidery. needlework which in principle is a tvistsöm I downloaded from the embroidered shoes found in London where the hole pattern is accom with holes scrotum. Inspired by a new discovery, I have expanded the embroidery with a center stripe of the two edge stripes that were in the original.

White Paper Hats Restaurant Funny Sayings

Embroidered purse

Now I finally have finished the embroidered the bag! Kant Ribbon is woven and finished bag is equipped with silk lining, and drawstring tassels.


lining is sewn with the stitches and I threw the edge of safety liabilities. I do not know if it is needed because there is a bag to be washed a lot but silk has a tendency to scratch themselves just by looking at it so I took it safe than sorry. The thread I made with is taken from the fabric.


tufts, I made by throwing down a bunch of yarn that I then turned and wound up with the yarn I've made with.


Here you can see the finished result against klänningstygt it is meant to be used for. Unfortunately, I had not the best light when I took a picture (in November and overcast) but I think it looks pretty anyway. Pull the shoe is that basting the top of the scrotum and consists of a braided cord of wool, fitted with tassels.

Pieces

I am currently in the process of making chips that can be used for the remaining games, checkers, board, etc. To begin with, it will be two remaining games but it could probably be more games to come. A game plan is simple and mostly fun to do. The making of checkers, however, repetitive, boring and just when you made the first. I therefore decided to make it easy for me so that I do not have to toil in vain.


To begin with I chose the diameter of the pieces after the diameter of a drill, that is 20 mm in diameter. Then sawed elongated rod-shaped blocks and the lathe was roughly a diameter of just over 20 mm. The subject then turned to just 20 mm using a steel pin (see diagram below). Before the substance is taken down turned V-shaped groove with V Products intervals and sanded with fine sandpaper. The trays are cut off since a finbladig "japansåg".


order to facilitate the grinding process used a self-made special tools. It consists of a wooden block with a drilled depth, 20 mm in diameter and about 5 mm deep. At one end drilled a corresponding deepening of a pervasive sawn cut to facilitate the attachment of the decoration (See below). The pieces are turned into just 20 mm in diamerter to a light pressure placed in position without firing spontaneously. In order to release the pieces during the work provided me with a recess through hole with a smaller diameter. The pieces are sanded to which sandpaper glued to a flat disc.


Here is the pre-cut pieces before and after oiling. They oiled the plays has drawn about 20 minutes in kallpressadf linseed oil before being dried off. Wood species are grinders and elm.


In anticipation of the oil brings in, I sketched a spot on a spare tile. Using a drill and a slightly modified nail scratching annular pattern in the surface. Such patterns are very common in medieval game pieces which are mostly made of bone or wood. The nail is utsmidd in one duck and tillfilad order to have two tips, one slightly longer than the others. When drilling goes further down the peninsula to form a center hole and the other edge repaired since a circle like a compass. Close up of the drill, see Neda.


The scratched decor here is filled with pigmented wax soft kneaded and pressed into the decor. Excess wax is cut away with knife and the surface sanded with fine sandpaper, finally, for to be free from unwanted vaxrester. I am not happy with the color but with a different color and the same pattern as I get enough satisfaction. Wax Blends consisting of about 1 part pigments and about 3-4 parts wax. Too much pigment make the wax hard and ruins while adhesion.
