Colonial Kensington 2012
No passado fim-de-semana, fomos a uma pequena recriacao historica (1700 a 1796) no parque natural de Kensignton aqui perto. Estava um dia muito bonito e e sempre interessante falar com os personagens, e andar a ver o que oferecem os varios vendedores. O "medico" demonstrou no meu filhote mais velho como costumavam tratar bracos partidos. :)
Last weekend we went to a small historical reenactment (1700 to 1796) at Kensington Park nearby. It was a very nice day and it is always interesting to stop and speak with the characters and check out what all the merchants have to offer. The "doctor" showed my oldest how they used to treat a broken arm. :)

Iron Craft Challenge #14 - Denim
O material proposto foi o denim. O que nao falta ca em casa sao calcas de ganga mais velhotas. Depois de muito pensar, decidi fazer uma jarra. Usei um par de calcas velho de crianca, que tinha um grande buraco num dos joelhos; cortei a direito acima do joelho e usei apenas uma das pernas. A seguir ensopei em liquido endurecedor de tecido (Stiffy da marca Plaid) e deixei secar em pe e aberto, o que levou varias horas.
This time we had denim has a theme. What we don't have any lack of are old jeans. After a lot of thinking I finally decided to make a vase. I used an old pair of kids' jeans, that had a huge hole at the knee; then I made a straight cut above the knees and used only one of the leg pieces. Then I soaked it in fabric stiffener (Stiffy by Plaid) and let it dry standing and pen, which took several hours.

Assim que secou completamente, apliquei fita decorada na borda com cola para tecido.
When it was completely dry I glued decorated ribbon to the edge, using fabric glue.
Decidi nao por base na jarra e usar como esta para flores artificiais, ou por um copo ou qualquer outro recipiente dentro para flores naturais.
I decided to leave it bottomless and use as is for artificial flowers, and then fit a simple glass (or any other material) container inside for fresh flowers.
