Sommerfuglehjerter

Lidt mere traditionel julepynt. De skulle være nemme at lave selv for mindre børn.

Hearts with butterflies

More traditional Christmas ornaments. They are supposed to be easy to make for children.

To ark til med sommerugle til julepynt

De laves på samme måde som beskrevet i posten under denne. Jeg håber at de udvendige streger på de blå er blevet nøjagtige nok, de kan trimmes efter de er blevet limet, hvis det ikke fungerer, så skriv det.

Two more sheets with butterflies as Christmas ornaments

They are made the same way as described in the post below. I very much hope, that the outer lines on the blue ones fit together, if not they can be trimmed after glued together. If it is totally impossible, write about it to me.

Sommerfugle som julepynt

Mine medmennesker synes vidst at jeg er lidt skør, de synes ikke at sommerfugle er julepynt; men hvorfor egentlig ikke? Et juletræ er da en slags symbolsk sommer, man stiller op i sin stue på den mørkeste tid af året, så derfor. Desuden er sommerfugle da dekorative.
De bliver bedst, hvis de printes ud på tynd karton; men tykt papir kan også bruges. De mørke er bagsiden, som limes på forsiden, og man er nødt til at klippe lidt uden for følehornene. De kan sættes fast på grenene med knappenåle.

Butterflies as Christmas ornaments

People tell me that I am crazy: "Butterflies do not belong to a Christmas tree", but why not? A Christmas tree is a summer symbol you have in your house in the darkest time of the year, And what is mmore like summer than a butterfly?
They are best printed on thin cardstock or thick paper. The dark ones are for the backsides, they are glued to the front sides. It is best to cut a little outside the antennas. You can fasten them to the branches with a needle.

Færdig karrusel

Nu har jeg taget mig sammen til at lave en ny og bedre. Den er forbasket svær at lave, så jeg kan kun anbefale den til modige mennesker.
Som julepynt er den lige lovlig stor, den kræver et stort juletræ. Den kan måske også bruges i et julelandskab.

The merrygoround finished

Now I did collect the currage to finnish the merrygoround. It is terribly difficult to make, You have to be rather skilled to make it, just a warning!
It is big, and as Christmas ornament, it needs a big tree. It could be used in a Christmas landscabe too.

Karrusel

Ja perfekt er den jo ikke! men jeg har moret mig meget. Den er blevet skæv, fordi midterstolpen er for smal (det er næsten umuligt at udregne på forhånd), een af figurerne vender forkert ( almindelig distraktion) og den er lidt for stor; men jeg tvivler på, at jeg kan lave den mindre.

Merrygoround

No it is certainly not perfect! but I had lot of fun. It is loopsided, the middle is too narrow, it is difficult to know before you make it. The sleigh is orientated the wrong way, I am a little forgetfull. And it is too big, but I dont think it is possible to make it smaller.

To julekurve med blomster

Two baskets for christmas tree

Aa Kirke

For et par måneder siden tog jeg nogle billeder af Aa Kirke. Det er en ret flot bygning, selve kirken og koret er bygget ca. 1150, tårnet er bygget senere. Jeg har læst et sted at Aa Kirke sammen med ruinen af Østermarie Kirke har været ret specielle, de har været toskibede med en række søjler midt i kirken.

Aa Church

Months ago I took some photos of Aa Church. It is , in my opinion, a rather impressive building.
The nave and the choir are from ca. 1150, the tower is builded later. I have been told, that Aa Church and Østermarie Church (now a ruin) are very rare, they originally had two aisles, the most common are either one or the basilica type with three aisles. The inside is rebuilded it is a pity.

Julekurve med blomster

Christmas ornaments with flowers

En efterårs tur

Min søn og svigerdatter skulle rejse hjem. På turen hjem fra lufthavnen, tog jeg en del billeder, det var en grå og mørk dag.
På et af billederne er der noget der ligner æbler, det er svampe, jeg aner ikke hvilke, og jeg ville ikke tage dem med hjem, de var så dekorative hvor de var.
På det øverste billede er træet i midten et gammelt egetræ, det er hult, og halvdelen af stammen er knækket af, det kaldes "Brændte Ole" sagnet siger, at en svensk soldat havde gemt sig i det, og at lynet slog ned, man fandt så skelettet manfe år senere.
Jeg har fået ny computer, det er temmeligt vanskeligt, den viser farver og lys på en helt anden måde, så jeg ved faktisk ikke hvordan det hele kommer til at se ud.

A walk in the late autum

My son and daughter in law, were going home by airplane. When I went home from the airport, I stopped to take a look around and take some photos, it was a dark and grey day.
One of the photos shows something looking like apples, they are mushrooms, I dont know the name of them, and did not want to pick them, they looked so nice where they were.
On the picture in top of the others, the tree in the middle is an old oak, half of the trunk has broken off, and it is hollow. It is called "Burned Ole", There is an old tale about it: A Sweedish soldier, did hide himself inside the trunk, the tree was hit from a flash of lightening, and he was found many years later as a skelleton.
I have bought a new laptop, everything is new and strange, and I have great difficulties with light and colours, so I must hope that it is going to look like I want it to.

Kagehuse af pap

De her huse kan ruges på juletræet eller i snelandskaber.
Jeg har et problematisk forhold til rigtige kagehuse, jeg prøvede engang at lave et, det smagte så i den grad forfærdeligt, så jeg har aldrig prøvet siden.

Ginger bread houses made of cardstock

They can be used as ornaments on the Christmas tree or in snow landscabes.
I have a problematic relationship with gingerbread houses, I once made one, I cant describe how awfull it tasted, never tried another time.
