For the cold! Para o frio!

Two more hot water bottle covers for this winter!

----------------------------------

Mais duas forras para botijas de agua quente!

triangle purses / Bolsinhas triangular

Size approx.: 15cm x 15cm x 12cm Handle: 14cm

These are made with recicled plastics. Each bag is individually made and no two are the same. The zips are os differnt colours but all are linned with cotton fabric. The handle is long enough to fit confortably around the wrist.

Feitos com plasticos reciclados. Cada bolsinha e individual - nao ha duas iguais. Os fechos de correr sao de cores diferentes mas todas as bolsas sao forradas com tecido de algodao. As alsas sao suficientemente longas para usar no pulso confortavelmente.

Craft Fair / Feira de Artesanato

Yesterday was a nice day at the Fabrika Craft Fair. There was a constant stream of people. Part due to the other activities in place (the Writing Club and the final day for the Open Submissions of art work) and part due to the Craft Fair.
Nice stalls as well: The lovely cakes, this time placed by the cafe area, chunky crocheted bags and hats for little ones and grown ups, Beyond Bling (http://www.beyondbling.co.uk/) with the resin "invaders" pins and necklaces, excellent glass pieces by Katherine Wilson (http://www.number8glass.co.uk), Woodjewellery (http://woodjewellery.folksy.com), and lovelly hand made beads and jewellery.

Ontem foi um dia agradavel, na Feira de Artesanato da Fabrika. Em parte devido as outras actividades que estavam a acontecer: ultimo dia de entrega de pecas de arte, o clube de escritores; e em parte ao facto da Feira estar a criar nome.
De novo havia coisas bonitas: bolinhos deliciosos - desta vez ficaram na area do cafe; sacolas e chapeus em crochet para todas as idades; colares de resina de Beyond Bling( http://www.beyondbling.co.uk); excelentes e lindas pecas em vidro de Katherine Wilson (http://www.number8glass.co.uk); Woodjewellery (http://woodjewellery.folsky.com) e lindos colares e pulseiras de contas feitas a mao.

Recycled, Recilados

I Have just finished these hand bags. They are made with recycled carrier bags (outer) and lined with plain coloured cotton fabric. These have a magnetic clasp.

Acabei de fazer estas bolsas. Sao feitas de plasticos reciclados e forradas com tecido de cor de algodao. Os fechos sao magneticos.

The second image is of the other recycled plastic sheets that I made. Some of these will be used for small notebook covers.

Na segunda imagem estao as outras folhas de plastico reciclado que fiz. Algumas destas vou utilizar para forrar caderninhos.

Mini books/ mini livros

These are the first batch of mini books I've been making (not all of them are here). They came about due to my inhability to throw away anything: in this case scraps of fused plastics and badly cutted paper. I'm quite happy with them and will take them to the next fair.

Esta e a primeira fornada de mini livros que ando a fazer (mas nao estao todos aqui). Surgem da minha incapacidade de deitar fora seja o que for; neste caso restos de plasticos fundidos e papel mal cortado. Gostei dos resultados e vou leva-los para a proxima feira.
