Såpekoker

såper

Dette er mitt første forsøk på å lage såper ved å kombinere farger.  Jeg brukte hvit såpemasse og sort/kullsåpe. De dufter appelsin/kanel. En behagelig lukt som passer året rundt. Jeg brukte en melkekartong som form. Var uheldig med en lekkasje, så neste gang må jeg sikre den litt bedre. Jeg hadde nemlig bare brukt tape til å tette kartongtuten. For å gi såpene bølgeform, brukte jeg en såpekutter i stål og tre, som også kan brukes til andre ting, f.eks i matlaging, til kutting av puddinger, gelé, ost osv.

Jeg har også kjøpt endel silikonformer, som de hevder også kan brukes til kaker, men det vil jeg ikke gjøre. Jeg prøvde nemlig å ha en slik form i stekeovnen. Etter noen minutter luktet det kjemisk og rart, så det er helt klart at det kommer avgasser av slike former.

Newly sewn pantaloons

I really wanted to make my own pantaloons. One day I spent almost two whole hours at a secondhand shop (Fretex in Norway) I found a lot of treasures, among them a very nice and very wide skirt. I decided to try to make pantaloons out of the it, and this is how it turned out. The method I used is very simple:

I cut from the bottom of the skirt up to where I wanted the crotch (don’t cut too far up, as  you need much space for your butt. :)). I then sewed it together. There is a rubber band in the waist. I thought about having rubber bans around the legs as well but my mother showed me how to first sew with lengthy stitches, and then pull the thread afterwards so that it gets the wrinkled effect. Don’t pull it too hard as you want room for your feet to go through.

Home made leather arrow quiver

My “mother-in-law” gave me an old leather pouffe, because she was going to throw it away anyway. The leather was rather rotten, but I managed to get some leather pieces out of it that could be used, so I started to sew a quiver for my arrows. My boyfriend liked it so  much that I decided to give it to him, as archery is one of his interests. I thought about making some decoration on it, but it stinks so much when burning into leather, and the leather is so dark, that I skipped it. I’ve never tried carving leather, so I have no idea how people do it.

Anyway, this is how it turned out.
