Bjørnespinder

Endnu et sommerfugle eksperiment, jeg er ved at forsøge mig med æsker, den er bare ved at tage livet af min computer.

Garden tiger moth

Another butterfly experiment, I am trying to transform it into patterned paper for boxes, but it is a very hard job for my computer.

Citronsommerfugl

Jeg er lidt ked af, at jeg har forsømt bloggen, men jeg har haft influenza, og derudover har jeg haft en del at tænke på.
Det er blevet til en sommerfugl, nu ved jeg ikke rigtig hvad den skal bruges til.

yellow butterfly

I am so sorry, that I have not been blogging for some time. I had the flu, and there are so much to think about theese days.
I made a butterfly, but I dont know how to use it yet.

En julegave fra min svigerdatter

Jeg er løbet tør for ideer og kreativitet, på grund af nogle forandringer på min arbejdsplads. Så jeg synes lige jeg vil vise de søde julehjerter min svigerdatter har lavet til mig. Er de ikke søde?
De er strikket meget længere end de færdige, toppen af hjerterne er mere trekantede, derefter er de vasket i meget varmt vand, så de filter sammen.

A christmas present from my daughter in law

There are some big changes where I work, it takes a lot of my thoughts, so I am out of ideas. Therefore I show the Christmas hearts my daughter in law made for me, they are so cute.
They are knitted much longer than thy are now, and the top of the hearts much pointier. Then they were washed and rubbed in very hot water to make them shrink and felt together.

En engel fra Pam

Jeg fik denne engel fra Pam, den fik solen til at skinne på en grå dag, den er utroligt sød. Det var faktisk Pams engle der inspirerede mig til at lave engle i år.
Pam har den hyggeligste juleblog jeg kender:
http://gingerbreadsnowflakes.com/
Den er besøg værd.

I got an angel from Pam

I have got this angel from Pam, it made the sun shine on a grey day, it is so beutiful. Actually it was Pams angels that insired me to make angels this year.
Pam has the best Christmas blog I know:

It is worth visiting.

Kurve med tulipaner

Baskets with tulips

2011-12-12T12:26:00.003+01:00

Snemand

Den har ligget på min harddisk siden 1999, dengang opgav jeg den, fordi jeg havde printet den på almindeligt papir, den skal printes på tynd karton.
Instruktionen kan printes ud på det nederste ark; men den er temmelig besværlig.

Snowman

This one has been situated in a dark corner of my harddisk from 1999. I had given up, because it is nearly impossible if printed on ordinary paper, it has to be thin cartstock.
The tutorial can be printed from one of the sheets; but it is rather difficult to make.

2011-12-07T12:27:00.002+01:00

Garder i skilderhus

Det er lidt underligt, at en forholdsvist pacifistisk person som jeg, laver en garder som julepynt, men jeg har altid syntes at Den Kongelige Livgarde er et festligt indslag i København.
Monogrammet er en tillempning af Christian den syvendes monogram, da Dronningens er beskyttet, og Christian den fjerdes er brugt på et legetøjsskilderhus fra et kendt legetøjsfirma.

Christmas ornaments with Royal Guards

It may be a strange ornament for people from other countries than Denmark, but The Royal Guarde is a nice part of the life in Copenhagen, with the march from their residence to the Royal castle playing flutes and drums.
The monogramme on the roof is made from the monogramme of a king in the 1800. century, as the monogramme of our Queen is protected.

Krybbekurve

Det er et elendigt billede; men lyset er dårligt i dag, og grangrenene var hele tiden ved at vælte ud af vasen.

Nativity baskets

It is a horribly bad photo, but the light is rather bad theese days, and the branches was difficult to get in ballance in the vase.

2011-12-03T12:11:00.010+01:00

Julekrybbe kurve

Her er nogle julekrybbekurve, som kan hænges på juletræet eller på en gren. De to engle som jeg tidligere har vist, hører sammen med dem.

Nativity baskets for the Christmas tree

Theese baskets are a nativity scene, they can be used on the Christmas tree, or they can be hung on a branch. The two angels in previous posts belong to the nativity.

Min computer er rask igen!

Heldigvis tog den ikke alvorligt skade, det eneste der skete var, at jeg måtte købe en extern DVD CDrom afspiller. Jeg er meget glad!
Jeg var midt i et juleprojekt, det bliver snart færdigt.

My computer is healthy again!

Luckily it was not serious damaged, the only thing was, that I had to buy an external DVD CDrom player. I am very happy!
I was in the middle of a Christmas project, I will publish soon.

Englekurve

Jeg har en meget gammel julekurv, som har facon som en engel, jeg har her prøvet at lave een der er lidt i samme stil.

Basket ornaments shaped as angels

I have a very old basket ornament shaped as an angel, I have tried to make one that looks a littlle like that.

Skabeloner til julepynt

Blogger statistik kan bruges til at blive klog af. Jeg har opdaget, at mine største "tilløbsstykker" er blanke skabeloner til julepynt, her er to.

Templates for Christmas ornaments

Sometime I learn something from reading Blogger statistics. I found out that many people search for templates for Christmas ornaments, so here are two more.

Julekurve med røn

Basket ornaments with rowan

2011-11-15T10:17:00.006+01:00

julekurv med benved

Hvis man vender det udprintede ark og lægger det i printeren igen, kan den røde bagside printes, det tager en del blæk; men det ser godt ud.

Basket for Christmas tree with spindlewood

If you turn the printed sheet upside down, yo can reprint the backside, it takes some ink, but it looks good.

Juleengle i mindre størrelse

Jeg har formindsket juleenglene, så de passer bedre på et juletræ, kan printes ud på eet ark og på almindeligt papir.
Byggevejledningen er underst på arkene, undtagen på den blå.

Christmas angels in smaller size

I have made the angels smaller, so they fit better on a Christmas tree, can be printed on one sheet and on ordinary paper.
The tutorial is on the sheets exept on the blue one.

2011-11-12T10:29:00.003+01:00

Nissen på loftet

Det er ikke een af mine bedste tegninger, men jeg har gjort mit bedste.
Der er en tom skabelon nederst til dem som hellere vil dekorere selv.

The "nisse" in the attic

It is not the best drawing, but I did my best.
The "nisser" is a kind of gnomes believed to belong to the houses, they had the size of a child, and they felt responsible for the animals on the farm. They were good helpers, but they could be rather revengeful if they were angry.
It was a tradition to serve porridge boiled on milk with a big lump of butter in the attic or in the stables, they were angry if somebody cheated them and left out the butter or forgot.
This has lived on as a Christmas tradition.
There is an empty template for the basket for decorating yourself.

2011-11-04T21:28:00.004+01:00

De hellige tre konger

De har været morsomme at lave. Skrinene er lidt pillearbejde, det er bedst at ridse dem med en hobbykniv.

The three holy kings

It has been great fun to make them. the small boxes is a little difficult to make, they are easyist, if you score the folding lines with a hobby knife.

2011-11-03T14:49:00.004+01:00

Sidste engel

Det er den sidste engel for denne gang. Det har været meget svært at tegne ansigterne, men jeg har gjort mit bedste.

The last Christmas angels

This is the last of the angels. It has been extremely to draw the faces, but I have tried hard to make them look nice.

2011-11-02T15:13:00.003+01:00

Rød juleengel

Det er desværre et lidt utydeligt billede, det er een af de dage, hvor det aldrig bliver lyst.
Jeg har stadigt samleinstruktionen på det ene af arkene.

Red Christmas angel

Sorry! it is a rather blurry photo, it is one of theese dark days.
The tutorial is on one of the two printable sheets.

2011-10-30T10:27:00.003+01:00

Juleengel med mørkere hudfarve

Jeg har egentlig altid undret mig over, at juleengle altid har lyserød hud og lyst hår, det er jo kun en lille del af menneskeheden der ser sådan ud. Det har jeg hermed prøvet at ændre på.

Christmas angel with darker skin

I have wondered why Christmas angels mostly have pink skin and fair hair, as it is only a smaller part of humanity that looks like that. Here I have tried to change that.

Juleengel

Pam på Gingerbread and snowflakes har lavet nogle pragtfulde engle, jeg blev så inspireret af dem, at jeg måtte prøve at lave en engel. Det har været noget af en opgave at lave et ansigt til englen, hun skulle jo helst se lidt sød ud.
Samlevejledningen er på det ene af arkene.

Christmas engel

Pam on Gingerbread and Snowflakes has made some wonderful engels, I got so inspired from them, that I had to try to make an engel. It has been rather difficult to make the face, it had to be a little cute.

Blomsterkurv julepynt

Af een eller anden underlig grund, bliver mine projekter frygteligt arbejskrævende for tiden. Blomsterkurven tager en del tid at lave.

Flowebasket ornament

I do not know why, but my project has a tendency to become difficult. This one takes some time.

2011-10-09T14:35:00.003+02:00

Kagehuse af pap

Nu kunne jeg ikke nære mig længere, der er måske lang tid til jul; men jeg fik bare sådan en lyst til julepynt.
De er i to størrelser, det mindste er det der passer bedst til et juletræ.

Gingerbread houses made of cardstock

Now I could not help myself, I had to make some Christmas ornaments.
They are in two sizes, the small one is the best size for a Christmas tree.

2011-10-05T17:15:00.007+02:00

Krans med hvide anemoner

Den er ret besværlig at lave, der skal klippes mange blade ud.
Hvis nogen skulle være interesserede i at lave den, er instruktionen til at printe ud på det underste billede. Det er bedst at printe blomster ud på tynd karton eller meget tykt printerpapir. Selve kransen skal helst printes på karton.

Wreath with anemones

It is somthing of a job to make it, there are many leaves to cut out.
If somebody are interrested in making it, there is a tutorial to print.
The flowers and the leaves are best printed on thin cardstock or very thick printer paper, the green wreath is best printed on cardstock.

2011-09-14T15:22:00.004+02:00

Krans med blå anemoner

Vejledning kan læses på det underste udprintningsark. Det underste ark, det med ringen, udprintes på karton, de to andre på papir.

Blomsterkugle Inspireret af Extreme cards and Papercrafting

Jeg prøvede, med ringe held, at lave "seven flower pop up card" fra Extreme cards and Papercrafting med nogle blomster jeg selv har tegnet. Undervejs, fandt jeg ud af, at det kunne være sjovt at lave en kugle til at hænge op.
Kortet kan findes her.

Floweball inspiret from Extreme cards and Papercrafting

I tried to make the seven flower pop up card from Extreme cards and Papercrafting, it did not go too well for me. But then I found out, that it could be used as a flower ball.

Færdig Liselund æske

Det har taget sin tid at få skabelon og instruktion færdig, der var en del fejl at rette.
Jeg bliver nødt til at advare: Den er ret svær at lave.

Æsker lavet af billede af små bølger

Jeg har altid været ked af, at mine evner er for få og små til at tegne vand. Nu har jeg taget fotoet fra den forrige post og brugt det til to æsker med små bølger.

Boxes made of photo of small waves

I am a little unhappy, that my skills are too small to draw water. Now I have used one of the photos from the previous post to make two boxes with water motive.

Rispebjerg

Rispebjerg ligger på Sydbornholm, stedet har været kendt som en tilflugtsborg fra jernalderen, den må have været meget svær at indtage, da der er meget stejle skråninger på tre af siderne.
Senere har man ved udgravninger fundet ud af, at stedet også har været anvendt i bondestenalderen, da har det været et helligt sted med pælekonstruktioner i cirkler, der har været afbrændt store offerbål hvor man har brændt stenøkser og knogler.

Rispebjerg

Rispebjerg is a high point in southern Bornholm. It has been used as refuge fortification during the iron age. It must have been very difficult to conquer, as it has very steep slopes on three sides.
In the later years, archaeologists has found out, that it has been a sacred place in the neolithic period. They found holes in the ground from poles in circles, and they found out that there had been huge bonfires where stone axes made from flint and bones (or maybe animals) had been sacrificed. They found some round stones with symbolic suns engraved on them. It must have been a kind of suntemple.

Lysthus i kinesisk stil fra Liselund

Det er desværre ikke blevet helt som det skulle, taget har jeg måttet lave om fire gange, og taghældningen passer ikke helt.
Når jeg har fået rettet diverse fejl, oploader jeg skabelonen.

Old Danish gazebo in Chinese style

It is not exactly as it was supposed to be, The roof does not have the right angle, I had to change it four times.
When I have corrected the errors in the template it will be uploaded.
The gazebo is from Liselund, a beutiful little castle in a beautiful park, it is builded ca. 1790.

Sidste irisæske

Last box with iris

2011-07-10T13:24:00.003+02:00

Flere iris

Det er ret arbejdskrævende at tegne for eksempel iris, derfor har jeg for vane, at bruge de tegninger jeg har lavet flere gange, så her er en ny udgave af iris.

Iris in another way

It is complicated and it takes time to draw something. Therefor I often use them more times. Here are some irises used in another way.

2011-07-08T12:59:00.002+02:00

Grøn irisæske

Den sidste irisæske er på grøn bund, den er ikke blevet helt så kedelig som jeg frygtede.

Green iris box

The last box with iris has green background. It is not as bad as I expected.

Æske med iris på hvid bund

Jeg kom efterhånden temmeligt langt fra forbilledet: nogle meget smukke billeder af en eng med iris, de kommer fra denne vidunderlige blog: Through the Sapphire sky.

Box with iris on white background

The box is looking less like the photo that inspired me than I wanted it to. The photo I used can be found on this wonderful blog: Through the Sapphire sky.

2011-07-06T11:53:00.003+02:00

Irispapir

Nu har jeg endelig fået lavet nogle ark med iris. Det har været noget af et arbejde.
Jeg laver nogle æsker snarest muligt.

paper with iris

At last I have made some sheets with iris, it has been something of a job.
I will make some boxes very soon.

2011-07-03T16:49:00.002+02:00

store vanskeligheder!

Hos Through the Sapphire Sky , Een af de smukkeste blogs jeg kender, fandt jeg nogle utroligt smukke billeder af en eng med iris. Jeg spurgte om lov til at bruge billederne, og gik i gang; men det vil overhovedet ikke, jeg tegnede en baggrund, ikke helt god, så tegnede jeg iris, lidt bedre, men nu passere baggrunden ikke sammen med de Iris jeg har tegnet. Om igen!

Troubles!

At Through the Sapphire Sky, the most beautiful blog I know, I found some extremely beautiful photos of a field filled with irises in bloom. I asked if I was alowed to use them, and began to make a paper with irises: First the bacground, it was not too good, then the flowers, a little better. And now I realize that flowers and background does not fit together at all. I have to start over again.

2011-06-14T14:03:00.007+02:00

Pirkentavl som æske

Pirkentavl er et lysthus ved Rosenholm, den er bygget i det sene 1500-tal. Jeg har prøvet at gengive den nogenlunde korrekt; men den mangler en trappe og jeg har ikke ramt helt nøjagtigt, der mangler lidt i højden på murstenspartiet, jeg ved ikke rigtig, om det er værd at lave det om. På modellen har jeg sat skorstenen lidt for lavt, så den er lidt skæv.

An old gazebo as box

”Pirkentavl” is a gazebo in renaissance style belonging to the castle Rosenholm. “Pirkentavl” is the oldest Danish gazebo It can be seen here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenholm_Castle

I have made a model that can be used as box. I know that it is not exactly like the old gazebo, I hat to make it without entrance door and staircase, and the proportions is not correct, and on my own model, the chimney is a little too low, that made it a little lopsided.

2011-06-07T13:57:00.006+02:00

Lysthus æske

Jeg så engang en lysthus æske i en bog, og jeg har haft meget lyst til at lave noget i den retning selv, på min egen lidt primitive måde.
Æsken kan laves med påtrykte vinduer, som det nederste foto, eller man kan skære vinduerne ud (det er ret besværligt, men det ser bedst ud) og klistre små firkanter klippet ud af ark til overhead projektor ud og klistre på indersiden.
Jeg kan ikke huske i hvilken bog jeg så lysthuset, er der nogen der kender den?

Garden house box

It can be made with the vindows printed, or you can cut the vindows out, and glue some small squares cut from a sheet for overhead projectors on the inside. It is rather difficult to cut all the vindows out, but it looks nice.

2011-05-19T19:44:00.006+02:00

Tre små æsker med drueklaser

Jeg har lavet de tre så æsker for sjov, når jeg nu havde tegnet klaser og blade.

Three small boxes with grapes

I made the three small boxes for fun. to use the drawings of grapes and leaves once more.

2011-05-14T14:10:00.006+02:00

Ny drueæske

På baggrund af min søns store utilfredshed med den grønne drueæske, har jeg prøvet at videreudvikle den. Jeg ved ikke om de her to er bedre. Er der nogen der har en mening? Og er der nogen der kan sige mig hvilken af de her to varianter der er bedst?

New grape box

My sons critic on the last green grape box was rather hard. Therefor I have tried to change it. I do not know they are better. Is there any body who has an opinion? And could you tell me which one of the blue ones is best?

2011-05-12T17:27:00.000+02:00

Æske med druer

De to personer jeg viste de første forsøg til, sagde samstemmende at den ikke er særlig god. Jeg besluttede alligevel at lave den færdig, når jeg nu havde lagt en del arbejde i den.

Box with grapes

The two persons I shoved the first try to, both said that it is awfull. But I decided to finish the box, because it was a lot of work.

2011-05-07T15:36:00.004+02:00

ottekantet æske færdig

Endelig færdig, jeg var ved at give op. Det er bedst at bruge lidt tyndere karton til de fem små æsker, og måske, er det en god ide, at sætte et bånd fast i bunden til at løfte den første æske ud.
Ideen til æsken er ikke min egen, forbilledet er lavet i 1800 tallet af Just Mathias Thiele sammen med Kamma Rahbeck. Min søn har hjulpet mig med de geometriske udregninger.

Octagonal box finished

At last, I almost gave up. It is best to use some cartstock that is thinner than the surrounding box. I think that it would be a good idea to have a band glued to the bottom of the box, to lift out the first of the smaller boxes.
The box is not my invention, the box that inspired me, is made from Just Mathias Thiele together with Kamma Rahbeck in the nineteenth century.
My son helped me with the geometical problems.

2011-05-06T17:00:00.003+02:00

Blomstrende træ

Det er et mærkeligt træ, det blomstrer med hvide blomster om vinteren, og det blomstrer igen om foråret med svagt rosa blomster, jeg aner ikke hvad det hedder, er der nogen der kender det?

Blooming tree

It is a strange tree. It blooms in the winter with white flowers, an it blooms again in the spring with pink flowers, I do not know the name of the tree, can anyone help me?

2011-05-06T16:47:00.004+02:00

Skabelon til ottekantet æske

Det er meningen, at låget printes ud på et transparent ark til en overhead projektor; men hvis det ikke er muligt, er der et låg med grøn baggrund som kan printes ud på karton. Det er vigtigt, ikke at bruge for tynd karton.

Template for octagonal box

The octagonal part of the lid is ment to be printed on a transparent sheet for an overhead projector, but if that s not possible, there is a green lid to be printed on cartstock.
It has to be printed on some cartstock that is not too thin.

Kysten i solskin

Det bedste ved at bo nær kysten, er at der altid er forskelligt. Havet har så mange nuancer, fra mørk blygrå til helt lyseblå.

The coast in sunshine

The best thing about living near the coast is that the sea is so different from day to day. It can be changing from dark grey to pale blue.

2011-04-27T15:21:00.002+02:00

Stadig under udvikling

Bunden skal være lidt større, det er altid svært at ramme den rette størrelse, når der er mere nd fire hjørner. Toppen af låget er printet på et transparent ark.

Still developing

The under box has to be a little bigger, it is difficult when a box has more then four sides.
The top of the lid is printed on a transparent sheet.

Jeg arbejder på den!

Jeg er i gang med et lidt indviklet projekt, hvor jeg bruger den her tegning.

I am working on this one!

I am working on a rather complicated projekt using this drawing.

Pompeiansk æske i ny udgave

Dette er æsken som er vist i posten før denne, men i en udgave. som er til at lave uden at få grå hår i hovedet. Den ser ud på samme måde.

Pompeian box in another way

This box is similar to the box in the post before this, but it is much easier to make.

2011-04-21T13:39:00.004+02:00

Pompeiansk æske

Den skulle have været så god --- men den fungerer ikke helt godt, ikke i den tykkelse pap jeg har brugt.
Jeg havde også vendt korn neget den gale vej, det er rettet.

Pompeian box

It Was supposed to be a good one ---- but it is not like it should be, not in the quality of cardstock I used.
The oat in the black elipse is tuned the wrong way, but that is changed in the template.

2011-04-16T13:35:00.002+02:00

Eksperiment

Jeg har købt et hundedyrt trebindsværk om danske loft og vægmalerier i Pompeiansk stil:
"Pompejanske Rumudsmykninger i 1800-tallets Danmark" af Kirsten Nørregaard Pedersen. Jeg så bøgerne på Thorvaldsens Museum, syntes at de var både for dyre og for tunge at bære; men da jeg fik et gavekort til bøger, måtte jeg have dem, så nu har jeg tre meget smukke og grundige bøger som er fyldt med inspiration.
Det her er et første forsøg på at omsætte inspirationen. Lidt kluntet, men jeg har fået lavet nogle grundelementer, som jeg kan arbejde videre med.

An experiment

I have bought three books, they are about Danish interior decorations in Pompeian style, it was very much in fashion in the 1900. century.
The books are: "Pompejanske Rumudsmykninger i 1800-tallets Danmark" by Kirsten Nørregaard Pedersen. I saw them in the museum store in Thorvaldsens Museum, but considered them too expensive and too heavy to carry. But then I got a "gift card" for books, and bought them. Three extremely beautiful books, with enormous amounts of inspiration.
This is one of my first experiments, trying to use the style in my own way, perhaps a little clumpsy, but there is something to work with.

En variant af efeu æsken

Min afdøde mand var keramiker, jeg har lært meget af ham. Een af de ting jeg har lært, er at man er nødt til at udnytte alle ideer til sidste dråbe. Alt kan vendes, drejes og ændres i farverne.
Det er hvad jeg har gjort her (undtaget ændring af farverne).

The ivy box in another way

My late husband was a potter, I have learned a lot of things from him. One thing I learned was, that you have to use an idea in many ways, change it, turn it around, change the colours.
That is what I have done here, (exept changing colours, but maybe later).

Kort med bladkrans

Jeg har forsøgt mig med kort i forskellige farver.

Cards with leaves

I have tried to make some cards in different colours.

Terning kylling

Desværre har jeg været tavs i en periode, mit arbejde fylder en del.
Nu har jeg fået lavet skabelon og instruktion til terningkyllingen, jeg håber at den er forståelig, hvis nogen skulle have lyst til at lave den.

Cube chicken

Sorry I have been silent for a long time, my job is rather hard theese days.
Now I have made template and a "how to do" to the cub chicken, I hope tat it is understandable, I someboddy shoule feel like making it.

Thorvaldsens Museum

2011-03-25T14:34:00.013+01:00

Lofter på Thorvaldsens Museum

Lofterne er inspireret af romerske væg og loftmalerier. De er efter min mening meget smukke.

The ceilings on Thorvaldsens Museum

The museum was opened 1848, it was made to show the sculptures made by Thorvaldsen, he was very famous in his time, he worked most of his life in Rome, and it was a big celebration, when he came back to Denmark. The architect of the museum is Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll (1800 – 1856). The ceilings are painted in roman style by different artists.

2011-03-25T13:29:00.022+01:00

Gulve på Thorvaldsens Museum

Det her er lidt nørdet: Jeg er vild med Thorvaldsens museum; men det er mest bygning og interiører jeg er vild med. Jeg har her fotograferet gulvene.

Tiled floors on Thorvaldsens Museum

I know that tiled floors are a strange subjekt, but they are very beautiful.
Thorvaldsen is a Danish sculptor 1770- 1844, but I have to admit that I like his museum more than his sculptures.

Davids Samling

Da jeg var i København, besøgte jeg Davids Samling: Et vidunderligt lille museum med kunst, arkitektur og kunsthåndværk.

Davids Collection

When I was in Copenhagen, I visited Davids Collection, a beautiful little museum with art, architecture and crafts.

2011-03-21T12:36:00.003+01:00

Tur til København

Jeg har været på en lille ferie, dette er et par billeder taget fra altanen hos min søster. En gang var dette deprimerende slum; men efter sanering af området, synes jeg at der er ganske kønt.

A trip to Copenhagen

I have been on a little vacation, this is the view from my sisters balcony. Once a depressing slum, but now rather pretty.

2011-03-14T15:37:00.001+01:00

Terning kylling

Indtil videre et forsøg, meget skal ændres.

Cube chicken

Just a prototype, much has to be changed.

Æsker med træer

Endelig har jeg taget mig sammen til at lave et par æsker. Den som var kedeligst som ark, ser nu ikke helt så slem ud.

Boxes with trees

Now I, at last, have pulled myself together and made some boxes. The paper that looked worst, is not that bad as a box.

2011-03-06T11:58:00.007+01:00

Træer med fugle

Jeg ved ikke rigtig, om de er gode! Jeg hælder mest til nr. 3. De er vist nedefra og op i den rækkefølge de er lavet. Er der for mange fugle? Skal jeg arbejde videre med dem? Er der nogen der kan give mig et råd?

Trees with birds

I am not certain about theese! I, myself, thinks that nr. 3 is the one I like best. They are shown in the order they are made: nr 1 is the first.. Are there too many birds? Do i have to do something more with them? Does someboddy have an advice?

2011-02-25T17:10:00.005+01:00

Æsker med græsstrå

De er lidt ferske, men mine forsøg med kulørt baggrund var ikke gode.

Boxes with grasses

They are a litte pale, but I tried with background colours, that was awful.

2011-02-13T14:15:00.003+01:00

Æske med firkanter og cirkler

Det har varet nogen tid siden jeg sidst har været nærværende på min blog, undskylder meget! Jeg har haft hovedet fyldt med alt muligt andet, og jeg var løbet tør for ideer. Nu har jeg prøvet at sparke mig selv i gang med noget, som jeg er meget dårlig til, farver. Det kan være sjovt, at gå helt udenfor det vanlige.

Box with squares and cirkles

It is for a long time I have not posted anything, so sorry! I have had my head filled up with something else, and I ran out of ideas. Now I have tried to kick myself to do something that I am rather bad with: colours. It can be fun to make something completely different.

2011-01-02T23:35:00.008+01:00

Sne

Vi har jo fået noget sne her på Bornholm. Dette er nogle billeder min søn har taget. Det har været en ejendommelig jul, hvor folk har været sneet inde, og aldrig nåede frem til deres familie.

Snow

We have got some snow here on Bornholm. This are some photos taken by my son. It has been a strange Christmas where many people got isolated in their homes, and where many had to celebrate Christmas in a sports centre.

2010-12-30T15:01:00.007+01:00

Godt nytår

Rigtigt godt nytår til alle som i årets løb har besøgt min blog, og mange tak for alle de søde kommentarer.
Jeg er ikke helt tilfreds med nytårs æskerne; men jeg har gjort det så godt jeg kunne.

Happy New Year

Happy new year to all who visits my blog, and many thanks for all the nice comments during the year.
I am not too fond of my new year boxes, but I was not able to make them better.

2010-12-26T11:35:00.010+01:00

Juletræ

Det var et juletræ, som jeg nær ikke havde fået på grund af sneen. Ellers er vi så småt ved at vende tilbage til næsten normale tilstande her på Bornholm. Folk som strandede i Rønne på grund af sneen juleaften, er transporteret ud til deres bestemmelsessteder.

Christmas tree

This is the Christmas tree, I allmost never got, because of the snow. The island has nealy returned to normal, people who stranded in Roenne Christmas evening, has arrived to there destinations last evening.

2010-12-24T11:17:00.004+01:00

Glædelig jul fra snedriverne

Bornholm er lukket, sneplovene kan ikke komme igennem. Billederne viser kun moderate mængder af sne, Svaneke ligger ved kysten, så der kommer ikke så meget her.

Merry Christmas from the snow

Bornholm is closed down, the plows can not get through. The photos only shows a little, because my town is situated at the coast, we do not get the most of the snow.

2010-12-23T13:19:00.004+01:00

Juletræspyntning i gang

Min svigerdatter og jeg er i gang med at pynte træet. Vi er ved at forsvinde i sne.

Decoration of the tree in progress

My daughter in law and I are decorating the tree. We are afraid that we will disappear in a pile of snow.

Kræmmerhuse med nisser

Cone ornaments with "nisser"

2010-12-18T16:47:00.003+01:00

Æble af papir

Det er lidt for sjov: Jeg lavede et græskar for et par måneder siden, jeg ville lige prøve om dt kunne blive til et æble til juletræet. Det er ret besværligt.

Paper apple

It is just for the fun of it: I made a paper pumpkin some months ago, now I just tried to make an apple with the same template. It is difficult to make.

2010-12-18T11:39:00.002+01:00

Snefnug hjerter fra Paper Matrix

De kan findes her:

I morgen udkommer der en fantastisk bog om flettede fugle

Jeg må rødmende indrømme, at min første inspiration til underlige flettede hjerter kommer fra denne forfatter. Jeg så hans første bog: Jule fugle flet i en boghandel, men havde ikke råd til den på det tidspunkt. Derfor forsøgte jeg at lave noget i den stil; men nok ikke med helt samme raffinement. Undskyld Lars Holmsted!
Nu udkommer der en nr. 2 i morgen, den er helt sikkert værd at købe, da nr. 1 er helt fantastisk.
Her er linket:

A wonderful book with woven birds

I have to admit: My first inspiration for making strange woven hearts comes from this author. I saw his first book about woven birds in a book store, but did not have the money for it at that time. Then I tried to make something like it in my own way, they can not compete the elegans of what he made. Sorry Lars Holmsted!
Now it is possible to buy book number two, and as number one is fantastic, I will fully recommend it.
here is the link:
http://www.mellemgaard.dk/product.asp?product=205
The technique is a little different from ordinary woven hearts: the two halves are put into one another, and woven from inside out.

Svaner til juletræet

De er lavet lidt i huj og hast, og måske lidt derefter.
Man limer to spejlvendte svaner sammen. Vingerne formes med en lineal i Sform, den nederste del, skal formes, så den folder ud fra kroppen, og den øverste del skal vende ind igen, derefter limes de på.

Swan ornaments

They are made in a hurry.
You glue the two sides of the swan together. The wings are shaped with a ruler in a kind of S shape, the lower part of the wings are shaped, away from the body, and the upper part of the wings are shaped the opposite way.

Papir med kristtorn

Jeg har influenza, derfor en pause. Influenza er ikke en tilstand som ligefrem befordrer kreativiteten.
Derfor har jeg prøvet at experimentere lidt: Disse blade og bær, har jeg på et tidspunkt skannet, derefter har jeg tracet og redigeret filen til vektorformat, og nu har jeg prøvet at "strikke det sammen til et papir.
Det er forresten ret interessant at skanne blomster og grene, det kræver en kasse til at sætte over skanneren, kassen skal være hvid indvendig.

Paper with holly

I have the flu, that is the rason that I have been quiet. And one does not get kreative with a flu.
Now I have tried to experiment a little: Theese leaves an berrys is scanned on a flatbead scanner, then they are traced to vector format, and now I have mowed thhem around a little, to make a paper.
By the way: It is rather interesting to trace flowers and other things, you then have to use a box over the glassplate and the box has to be white inside.

Juleæsker

Det er en ændring af noget julepapir, som jeg lavede for to år siden.

Christmas boxes

It is a change of some paper I made two years ago.

Hus med juletræ

Det kræver både tålmodighed og fingerfærdighed, faktisk er det temmelig besværligt. Det er også lidt for stort til at hænge på et juletræ; men jeg tror ikke det kan lade sig gøre at lave det mindre. Jeg har ikke sne på taget, men det er der på skabelonen.

A little house with a Christmas tree

It is rather difficult to make, and you need a loot of patience. It is too big for a small Christmas tree, but I think that it is impossible to makke it if it is smaller.
I forgot the snow on the roof, but remembered on the template.

2010-11-24T19:16:00.002+01:00

julevindue kurv

Jeg ved ikke rigtig, det er måske i overkanten, lidt for gult til et juletræ.

Basket ornament with a Christmas window

I do'nt really know what to think about it, perhaps too yellow in colour for a Christmas tree.
