New season - New colors of doilies

I opened a new season with new color of hand dyed vintage doilies. Usually I need a time to collect doilies for one color bath because for most of the colors it needs about 1 kg of fabric to dye. But about month ago it happened that I bought a whole box of doilies!!! Of course there are not all perfect, some weren't beautiful, others were with holes, but there was a lot nice doilies)) The rest I send to my friend in Russia, she makes Eco boho clothing and home decor using doilies and embroideries. So finally I had a lot of doilies to hand dye many colors I dreamed before and to experiment with colors too))

There are some of new spring colors, and there will be others in the future))

My experience in Tablet Weaving

When i started to participate in historical festivals and Role-playing games, appeared the necessity in belts authentic and beautiful ribbon for hairs. Than I decided to study Tablet weaving. Tablet weaving is used from beginning of our age and up to a new time. Vikings and anglo-saxons were made ribbon with interesting and beautiful textures. Ribbon were using for dressing clothes, belts and etc. Tablet is squared with four holes in every angle. Originals tablets were made from bones or wood, but I made from carton. Through every hole runs a thread. Can use wool thread, in this case ribbon will be thicker, and can use silk, linen, cotton and also synthetics thread. There is special program that help to made ribbon with specific design. Nobody of friends of mine knew tablet weaving before, that’s why I had to study by myself, learning all information’s by Internet. First cm. were bad – threads were interlacing, tablets were falling out from my hands, were must dissolve a few time, but later everything has gone well. Now all my “masterpieces” can be founded in all Russia, and remains in my hands only several ribbons.

Quando ho cominciato a partecipare ai festival storici e Role-playing game, è venuta la necessità di cinture autentiche e belle fettucce per i capelli. Allora ho deciso di studiare Tablet weaving (tessitura con i cartoni). La tessitura con i cartoni si usa dall’inizio della nostra era e fino al nuovo tempo. I vichinghi e gli anglo-sassoni facevano con questo metodo le fettucce con intrecciature interessanti e belle. La fettuccia si usava per decorare abbigliamento, cinture e etc. Il cartone è quadrato con quattro buchi in angoli. Gli originali si facevano di osso o di legno, ma io li ho fatto di cartone. Tra ogni buco del cartone si infila un filo. Si può usare lana, in questo caso la fettuccia sarà piu spessa, mentre si può usare anche seta, lino, cotone e persino filo sintetico. C’è il programma speciale che aiuta a creare la fettuccia con disegno particolare. Nessuno dei miei amici non sapeva tessere con cartoni, perciò mi è toccato a studiare da sola, apprendendo tutte le informazioni da Internet. I primi centimetri erano brutti – i fili si intrecciavano, i cartoni cadevano dalle mani, dovevo disfare alcune volte, ma dopo un po’ tutto è riuscito bene. Adesso i miei “capolavori” si trovano in tutta la Russia, mentre io ho solo un paio di fettucce.

Tablecloth, pillows - peasant details of my sitting room

Tablecloth, pillows on the divan, frames on the table – this pleasant details give at the home a lively view, underline his individuality. Tablecloth is a decoration of any table. Of course it’s possible to buy serial pieces, but handmade will be unique. Therefore i decided to decorate the table in a sitting room with new tablecloth. In our sitting room we have antique furniture, that’s why I selected convenient fabric – this is vinous damask silk with golden pattern in baroque stile. And so that sitting room has view complete, I decided to make pillow for divan from pieces remains. Pillows for divan give at the room particular warmth and cosiness, help to dilute boring interior. Furthermore on them it’s comfortably overlay and be seated.

Tovaglie, cuscini sul divano, cornici sul tavolo – sono piacevoli dettagli che danno per casa l’aria vivace, sottolineano sua individualità. Tovaglia è decorazione per quasiasi tavola. Certo, si pou comprare gia pronta, ma fatta a mano sarà un pezzo unico. Percio ho deciso di ornare la tavola in salotto con nuova tovaglia. I mibili in salotto sono antici, percio ho scelto la stoffa in stile conveniente – seta damascata di colore bordo con disegni in stile barocco. E per dare al salotto l’aria compiuta ho deciso fare della stoffa resta cuscino per divano. Cuscini per divano danno alla stanza particolare accoglienza e calore, aiutano a diluire interno malinconico. E anche sui cuscini sempre comodo sedere o appoggiarsi.
