tessile, il &lt;b&gt;mercoledi dalle 14 alle 17&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;In ogni incontro si realizza un progetto che  normalmente si finisce in 3 ore, quindi più che fare grandi  lavori si impara ogni volta una tecnica nuova. &lt;br /&gt;Ad esempio questo mercoledi (16 novembre) il tema della lezione sarà il trapunto a mano col telaio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il costo di ogni incontro è di 30€ che comprendono la lezione, i  materiali "strani" come pitture per stoffa se servono e la dispensa  della lezione. &lt;br /&gt;Non sono incluse le stoffe ma per chi volesse sono disponibili dei kit completi.&lt;br /&gt;Per poter organizzare la cosa bene, stampare il giusto numero di  dispense, fare i kit necessari, mi serve sapere in anticipo chi viene  quindi è utile che chi vuol venire mi confermi la presenza via email (info@orkaloca.com)&lt;br /&gt;Usate la stessa email per chiedere info :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al momento gli incontri si tengono anche se siamo sotto il numero  minimo di partecipanti richiesto ma se non arrivan più persone dopo  natale l'associazione con la quale collaboro e che organizza questi  corsi potrebbe decidere di sospenderli &lt;img alt=":("

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'arricciamento aggiunge dimensione e movimento ad una stoffa o ad un intero pezzo di arte tessile.&lt;br /&gt;Ho voluto cercare un tessuto di lana che restringesse in modo uniforme e

When I read "quilt theme" I've understood "the theme of quilting motif", and when I've realized that wasn't right, the design was yet done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;And I loved it so I went on with it. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;My colour choice is yellow/purple/green... but then I've lost control and added also oranges and pink.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The design jumped in my mind when I've seen a photo of a bunch of flowers. That bunch really looks like a sitting cat. Silly isn't it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;So I've drawn an oval, and a stylized cat, made of circles, in it. Then I've added more circles, to close the lines of the cat contour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Finally I've added 3 stright lines that would looks like sunbeams. I've taken these lines as a guide to place colours: light in center beam, the 2nd from top, medium tones in 1st and 3rd ray, and finally darker tones in the last ray.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;size: 24"x16"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;(you can click on image to enlarge)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ecco il mio quilt per questo challenge.&lt;br /&gt;Le linee guida erano:&lt;br /&gt;- usare 3 dei 6 colori primari e complementari (blu, rosso, giallo, verde, arancio, viola)&lt;br /&gt;- usare come tecnica la "frattura"&lt;br /&gt;- tema del quilt: cose con le ali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A me piace moltissimo l'arte "fratturata", per intenderci è la tecnica che viene usata dai pittori cubisti, in cui forme e linee si confondono (guardate ad esempio i dipinti cubisti di franz marc). Inutile dire che questo challenge mi è piaciuto subito, ma devo ammettere che ho fatto un errore di traduzione dalle linee guida inglesi, così avevo capito che il motivo della quiltatura dovesse essere con cose con le ali.&lt;br /&gt;Quando ho realizzato l'errore avevo gia progettato il quilt e mi piaceva un sacco, così ho continuato per la mia strada :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come colori ho scelto verde, giallo e viola ma poi mi son fatta prender la mano e ho messo anche arancione e rosa (che io vedo più che altro come toni del giallo e del viola :p)&lt;br /&gt;Il disegno mi è saltato in mente guardando una foto di un mazzo di fiori che sembrava proprio un gatto seduto. Folle nè?&lt;br /&gt;Per fare il modello ho prima disegnato un ovale, poi dentro un gatto stilizzato fatto di due cerchi e 3 curve, poi ho aggiunto al tutto altri cerchi e curve per proseguire le linee di contorno del gatto.&lt;br /&gt;Infine ho aggiunto 3 linee dritte che dovrebbero rappresentare raggi di luce, e che ho usato come delimitatori per le aree con vari toni di colore.&lt;br /&gt;Ho messo colori chiari nella zona centrale, medi nelle due ai lati, e scuri nella zona più in basso/a destra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il tutto misura 60x40cm&lt;br /&gt;(click sulla foto per ingrandire)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target="_new" href="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/362/dscn0470.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/362/dscn0470.jpg" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;PS: can you see the butterfly? ^_*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: la vedete la farfallina? ^_*&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3513046642279073519-8506490541013995281?l=orkalocastyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/feeds/8506490541013995281/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3513046642279073519&amp;postID=8506490541013995281&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/8506490541013995281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/8506490541013995281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/fastfriday-challenges-41.html' title='FastFriday Challenges 41'/><author><name>Silvia "OrkaLoca" Dell'Aere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13406117918670414621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2oUXHhsCW5E/SdEaxmnSXtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ftKXe1p6q_Q/S220/sally150.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513046642279073519.post-1368414335564846891</id><published>2010-01-21T13:31:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-21T15:02:08.884+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='print on fabric'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><title type='text'>Printing on Fabric - Stampare su stoffa</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Print on fabric can be useful to make decotations for wall hangings, or cards, ATC, labels... everything will be not washed often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supplies:&lt;br /&gt;White fabric, like muslin&lt;br /&gt;Freezer Paper&lt;br /&gt;Soda Ash if you want to pretreat the fabric&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stampare su stoffa puo tornare molto utile per fare cose che non subiranno lavaggi... ad esempio etichette, o per fare biglietti, o per decorare o fare wall-hanging.&lt;br /&gt;Ed è proprio per fare un quadretto che ho sperimentato stamane la tecnica... e devo dire che ne sono soddisfatta quindi eccovi il tutorial&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Materiale:&lt;br /&gt;Stoffa bianca, meglio a trama fitta, ma non pesante. Io ho usato una tela da lenzuolo.&lt;br /&gt;Freezer Paper (FP)... che come ho gia spiegato si puo sostituire con la carta del macellaio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Facoltativo:&lt;br /&gt;Carbonato di Sodio (NON bicarbonato, proprio carbonato. Si trova al supermercato col nome di "soda solvay" o ce la si fa procurare da un farmacista compiacente)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;First of all two words about printers. I've read a lot about in several sites, and this is what tourned out:&lt;br /&gt;- you've to use InkJet printers, NOT laser&lt;br /&gt;- between InkJets the best brand seems to be Epson, due to the composition of the ink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anzitutto una spiegazione sull'inchiostro e le stampanti, sono informazioni tratte dalla rete:&lt;br /&gt;Questa tecnica funziona solo con le stampanti InkJet e non con le laser. La laser scioglierebbe la FP e rischiereste di buttare tutto. Inoltre pare che l'inchiostro delle laser non vada bene per questo lavoro.&lt;br /&gt;Tra le stampanti a getto d'inchiostro pare che le migliori per questo lavoro siano le epson, sia per loro meccanica, sia per la composizione dell'inchiostro.&lt;br /&gt;Pare che anche alcune HP vadan bene ma non ho capito quali perchè dipende dalla cartuccia dell'inchiostro.&lt;br /&gt;Io ho una epson quindi non mi son posta il problema.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;About colour persistency seems that print on presoaked fabric made colours more wash-resistant, but I prefer to use printed fabrics for non washable items.&lt;br /&gt;Someone suggest to use a very light layer of spray acrilyc paint in fabric, it shouln't stiffen the fabric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Poi spiegazione sulla persistenza del colore:&lt;br /&gt;Qui la questione è spinosa... anche qui ho girato e rigirato la rete e il risultato è che la stampa su stoffa non pretrattata viene bene ma non resiste al lavaggio.&lt;br /&gt;La stampa fatta su stoffa pretrattata aderisce meglio e regge di più un lavaggio delicato a mano.&lt;br /&gt;Io uso la tecnica per cose non lavabili e risolvo la questione :p&lt;br /&gt;Qualcuno consiglia anche di dare sulla stampa una spruzzata leggerissima di vernice acrilica spray (tipo i fissativi per pitture). La spruzzata leggera dovrebbe aiutare il colore a non sbiadire se soggetto a strofinio (ad esempio se la stoffa è stata poi usata per una borsa) ma non dovrebbe irrigidire la stoffa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;And now two words about photos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;Photos or pictures have to be sharp and well contrasted. You can enhance the contrast with a photoediting program.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Infine due parole sulle immagini:&lt;br /&gt;Le immagini devono essere ben nitide e contrastate, eventualmente si puo aumentare un po' il contrasto con un programma di grafica.&lt;br /&gt;Ovviamente non ci si deve aspettare una stampa brillante e lucida, dato che la stoffa è di sua natura opaca e non ci si puo fare nulla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora iniziamo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;1: treat the fabric&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Leave the fabric soak in a soda ash solution (2 tablespoon of soda in 1 lt warm water) for 30 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Squeeze and let dry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fase 1: pretrattare la stoffa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questa fase ovviamente solo se volete farlo, altrimenti passate oltre.&lt;br /&gt;Per pretrattare la stoffa la si lascia a bagno almeno mezz'ora in una soluzione di carbonato di sodio. Diciamo due cucchiai per 1 lt di acqua calda. Indossate dei guanti perchè la soluzione è molto basica e potrebbe irritare la pelle.&lt;br /&gt;Dopo di che strizzate e appendete ad asciugare.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;2: prepare the fabric sheet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Cut a piece of fabric and a piece of freezer paper slightly larger than an A4 sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fase 2: preparare il foglio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tagliate un pezzo di freezer paper poco più grande di un foglio A4 (quello che usate nella stampante)&lt;br /&gt;Tagliate anche un pezzo di stoffa poco più grande di un foglio A4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4588/dscn0439a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/4588/dscn0439a.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Now iron the fabric and then adhere it to the freezer paper (shiny side of the paper on the fabric). Use hot iron but not steam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Now cut the fabric-paper at the size of an A4 sheet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora stirate la stoffa in modo che sia piatta, quindi vi stirate sopra la freezer paper (lato plastificato contro la stoffa).&lt;br /&gt;Il ferro deve essere caldo ma non troppo... io lo imposto ad un po' meno che per il cotone. E SENZA VAPORE&lt;br /&gt;Una volta attaccata la freezer paper usate un foglio A4 come dima e ritagliate la forma della dimensione esatta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/963/dscn0440h.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/963/dscn0440h.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;3: borders&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;It's important to stiffen borders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;I use a paper tape to reinforce the bottom edge (that is first taken from the printer) and the upper one, just in corners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fase 3:  I bordi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' importante prestare attenzione ai bordi del foglio, sia quello che viene preso per primo dalla stampante, sia quello opposto.&lt;br /&gt;Van rinforzati per far si che la stampante prenda bene il foglio e non pieghi gli angoli.&lt;br /&gt;Io uso un pezzo di scotch di carta. Lo metto dietro al foglio, dalla parte della FP facendolo sporgere di un mezzo cm (1) poi rigiro sulla stoffa il mezzo cm in più, schiaccio bene e rifilo i margini (2). Faccio lo stesso sul bordo superiore del foglio ma solo agli angoli, non serve tutto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5796/dscn0437.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5796/dscn0437.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;4: print&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Put in the printer only the fabric sheet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Set the printer source as "matte paper" then print looking that the printer take the sheet well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;I've had no problems and the results was really nice!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fase 4: la stampa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Togliete dalla stampante tutti i fogli e mettete solo il vostro foglio/stoffa. Fate attenzione ad inserirlo bene bene.&lt;br /&gt;Quando inviate la stampa, prima di dare l'ok, modificate le impostazioni della vostra stampante perchè pensi di stampare su qualcosa di spesso... dovreste avere nel menu delle carte della stampante qualcosa come "carta matte" o "alto spessore" ... se non l'avete puo andare bene anche l'impostazione per la carta fotografica, che è pesante.&lt;br /&gt;Fatto cio avviate la stampa e correte alla stampante per assicurarvi che la macchina prenda bene il foglio.&lt;br /&gt;La mia stampante non ha fatto mezza piega, se lo è preso e ha stampato senza storie, e il risultato mi ha sorpresa... eccolo qua a confronto con la foto originale (devo dire che in foto la stoffa è più chiara di cio che è dal vero... di certo la prossima volta dovrò saturare di più i colori... ma si sa si deve sempre provare e provare:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8167/giulia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/8167/giulia.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7845/dscn0438.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7845/dscn0438.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;5: set the colour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;After printing you've to let the ink dry for some hours, then you've to gently wash the printed fabric to discharge the soda-ash and the excess of ink.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Someone tells that is not necessary to iron but I prefer to set the print with iron before wash it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fase 5: il dopo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cio che accade dopo la stampa è avvolto nel mistero... sicuramente dovete aspettare qualche ora che l'inchiostro asciughi bene bene, poi potete togliere la FP.&lt;br /&gt;A questo punto la stoffa andrebbe almeno sciacquata per rimuovere sia i residui del bagno pretrattante sia l'eccesso di inchiostro.&lt;br /&gt;Dice qualcuno che non serva stirare il colore, ma per sicurezza io lo farei, prima di sciacquare la tela.&lt;br /&gt;Ecco, questo punto è ancora da provare, per me... ma fino ora devo dire che la cosa mi ispira parecchio!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3513046642279073519-1368414335564846891?l=orkalocastyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/feeds/1368414335564846891/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3513046642279073519&amp;postID=1368414335564846891&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/1368414335564846891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/1368414335564846891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/english-translation-is-going-to-come.html' title='Printing on Fabric - Stampare su stoffa'/><author><name>Silvia "OrkaLoca" Dell'Aere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13406117918670414621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2oUXHhsCW5E/SdEaxmnSXtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ftKXe1p6q_Q/S220/sally150.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513046642279073519.post-6205998758925921824</id><published>2010-01-18T23:46:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T23:51:19.334+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Annunci'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='concorsi'/><title type='text'>Concorsino vinto - contest won</title><content type='html'>Il mio quiltino "looking at snowflake" ha vinto il concorsino, grazie a tutti i vostri voti!&lt;br /&gt;Per ringraziarvi sto sistemando il template, e poi ve lo metterò a disposizione.&lt;br /&gt;E sapete che vi dico?

I wanted to try the EQ, and one night I had in my mind the image of the snowman that looks at the snowcat, so here it is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The buttons are real buttons; the scarf is made of strands of wool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/539/dscn0414bis.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/539/dscn0414bis.jpg" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3513046642279073519-5051779417666812918?l=orkalocastyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/feeds/5051779417666812918/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3513046642279073519&amp;postID=5051779417666812918&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/5051779417666812918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/5051779417666812918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/looking-at-snowflake.html' title='Looking at snowflake'/><author><name>Silvia "OrkaLoca" Dell'Aere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13406117918670414621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2oUXHhsCW5E/SdEaxmnSXtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ftKXe1p6q_Q/S220/sally150.JPG'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513046642279073519.post-2380438054286913028</id><published>2010-01-12T12:22:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-11T13:21:04.235+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='applique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><title type='text'>Tutorial: Applique con Freezer Paper</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Ecco qua un tutorial su come usare la freezer paper per fare l'applique... come lo faccio io almeno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;La Freezer Paper è una carta per alimenti plastificata da un lato, che in america si usa per congelare i cibi. Da loro è come la stagnola da noi, si trova al supermercato.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Da noi non esiste nella vendita al dettaglio ma si puo sostituire con la carta del macellaio.&lt;br /&gt;Mi dicono anche con la carta che avvolge le risme di carta da fotocopie, ma non ho provato in prima persona.&lt;br /&gt;Nel seguente tutorial io ho usato la carta del macellaio (alla quale ho oscurato le scritte) :p ed ho fatto una semplice applicazione a cuore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iniziamo (le immaginine son tutte cliccabili per ingrandirle):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1) Prendete un pezzo di "freezer paper" (da qui in avanti FP), e osservatela. noterete che un lato è di carta, l'altro è plastificato, lucido. Disegnate sul lato di carta la forma che vi interessa. Considerate che se è una forma che ha una direzione dovete invertirla.&lt;br /&gt;Una volta disegnata la forma ritagliatela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9056/dscn0384resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9056/dscn0384resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4987/dscn0385resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4987/dscn0385resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;2) Ora prendete la stoffa con cui volete fare l'applicazione. Sul retro della stoffa mettete la vostra forma ritagliata di FP, col lato plastificato, lucido, contro il retro della stoffa. Stirate per qualche secondo col ferro ben caldo (io lo metto su cotone) e senza vapore.&lt;br /&gt;Lasciate raffreddare quindi tagliate l'eccesso di stoffa lasciando attorno alla sagoma di FP un bordo di un mezzo cm o poco più.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4103/dscn0386resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4103/dscn0386resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Adesso fate i taglietti di rilascio nelle curve "a valle" e col ferro da stiro rigirate il bordino contro la FP schiacciando bene la piega. Io dopo aver rigirato il bordino lo fisso alla FP con una passata si colla stick sul bordo della sagoma. Non ne serve mica tanta, solo per tener giu la stoffa.&lt;br /&gt;Vi metto anche due immagini che vi spiegano come faccio le punte (la punta nera che vedete è solo per tener giu l'angolo mentre faccio la foto).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS: &lt;a href="http://handquiltingstitches.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sara &lt;/a&gt;consiglia "Ciao, al posto della colla stick si puo' usare l'amido spray da stiro. Se vuoi provare, spruzzane un po' in un barattolino o un tappo (in modo che sia liquido) e poi lo passi sul bordo con un pennello e stiri il tutto. Me l'ha insegnato Dawn Cameron Dick in un suo corso, mi sembra che funzioni bene."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/369/dscn0389resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/369/dscn0389resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3026/dscn0387resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3026/dscn0387resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4352/dscn0388resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4352/dscn0388resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;4) Ora si prende la stoffa di sfondo e vi si poggia sopra la sagoma dell'applicazione. si puo spillare in posizione, ma io ancora una volta uso la colla stick. Appena un poco sulla stoffa del bordino ripiegato sotto. Cio permette di mantenere la forma in posizione senza slittamenti, non irrigidisce la stoffa (anche perchè comunque la colla resta nel margine di cucitura) e al primo lavaggio se ne va.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/328/dscn0390resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/328/dscn0390resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) E ora si cuce. Ho preso un filo in tinta con l'applicazione, ho infilato l'ago e fatto un nodino alla fine del filo. Passo dal retro del blocco al davanti e prendo il bordo dell'applicazione stando ben sul margine.&lt;br /&gt;Rientro quindi nella stoffa di sfondo, allo stesso livello di dove son uscita, vado avanti un pochino e torno al dritto pizzicando ancora il bordo dell'applicazione.&lt;br /&gt;Continuo così a punticini molto piccoli per tutto il bordo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7200/dscn0391resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/7200/dscn0391resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5412/dscn0392resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5412/dscn0392resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5412/dscn0392resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5412/dscn0392resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9015/dscn0395resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9015/dscn0395resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;6) Finita l'applicazione si deve tirar fuori la FP. Dal retro dell'applicazione si fa entrare la punta delle forbici solo nella stoffa dello sfondo, e si taglia via un tassello di stoffa da dietro l'applicazione. In pratica il retro dell'applicazione resta a vista. (c'è anche chi fa solo un taglio sul retro, l'applicazione resta più ciccetta, è solo questione di gusti)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2332/dscn0396resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2332/dscn0396resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6854/dscn0397resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6854/dscn0397resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6127/dscn0398resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6127/dscn0398resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) Dalla finestra fatta si toglie la FP. Dovete far un po' d'attenzione al bordo che avevate incollato alla stoffa, ma è facile ^_* Se riuscite a tirar fuori la sagoma intera potete anche riutilizzarla ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8753/dscn0399resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8753/dscn0399resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4038/dscn0400resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4038/dscn0400resize.jpg" alt="" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;A questo punto il gioco è fatto, avete la vostra applicazione ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9307/dscn0401resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9307/dscn0401resize.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3513046642279073519-2380438054286913028?l=orkalocastyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/feeds/2380438054286913028/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3513046642279073519&amp;postID=2380438054286913028&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/2380438054286913028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/2380438054286913028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutorial-applique-con-freezer-paper.html' title='Tutorial: Applique con Freezer Paper'/><author><name>Silvia "OrkaLoca" Dell'Aere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13406117918670414621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2oUXHhsCW5E/SdEaxmnSXtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ftKXe1p6q_Q/S220/sally150.JPG'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513046642279073519.post-5165787978712602185</id><published>2010-01-11T14:18:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-11T14:37:02.385+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='challenge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wall hanging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FFFC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucito'/><title type='text'>Ugly Flowers</title><content type='html'>Mesi fa mi sono iscritta ad una challenge mailing list di patchwork. In questa lista viene proposta una sfida al mese, e lo scopo è rispondere con un miniquilt.&lt;br /&gt;Questo mese siamo alla sfida 40 e il tema è il packaging.&lt;br /&gt;Lo scopo era prendere una scatola di un prodotto, studiarne i colori, capire perchè son stati scelti quei colori, e fare con quei colori un quilt con una natura morta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Io ho scelto come confezione di partenza la bottiglia della "Nidra Latte Miele"&lt;br /&gt;E' bianca, colore probabilmente scelto per dare una idea di pulito e purezza. Ha la scritta Nidra in rosa, che sullo sfondo bianco attira molto l'occhio ma non da l'idea di "pericolo" del colore rosso.&lt;br /&gt;C'è poi disegnata una goccia gialla/arancione, che richiama il gel all'interno, che ha quello stesso colore, ed è il colore che uno si immagina quando magari pensa al latte col miele.&lt;br /&gt;Infine ci sono le scritte fatte in blu, bello evidente ma meno funereo del nero, ed il logo della palmolive in verde, che mantiene il colore del logo originario.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Some months ago I joined in the Fast Friday Fabric Quilt challenge mailing list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Here is my quilt for the challenge 40. The challenge was to choose a product packaging and to study the colours and why they are used.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Then use those colours to do a still life quilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;My inspiration came from the "nidra latte miele" (nidra milk honey) bath gel bottle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The bottle is all white, I think because it want to give the idea of clean, purity and a product that doesn't set upon the skin. Then there is the "nivea" word in dark pink. I think that the pink is as&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;readable as the red, on white background, but don't give the "attention" or "danger" message that the red would give. Again the pink may be more attractive for women. There is a yellow/orange drop. The colour is really close to the colour of the gel and wants to refer to the idea of  the colour of honey mixed with milk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The "palmolive" logo is white and green. This is because the storic logo is green, I don't think there is a specific purpose, is just something that "have to be". Finally other words are in blue. The blue is very clear readable on white, but is not as "funereal" as black.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9286/nidramilkhoney.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9286/nidramilkhoney.jpg" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per fare il mio quilt ho deciso di invertire la predominanza dei colori, la bottiglia ha molto bianco, io ho scelto di usarne invece pochissimo, dando invece molto più spazio agli altri colori: rosa, giallo, blu e verde.&lt;br /&gt;Così ne sono spuntati questi fiori.&lt;br /&gt;Il quilt è di 8x9pollici (20x23cm). Il disegno è fatto con matite acquarellabili su seta bianca pretrattata in un bagno di soda.&lt;br /&gt;Ho quiltato e mi son avventurata nel campo del thread painting per delineare i particolari e le forme. Infine ho abbellito con perline e pajette.&lt;br /&gt;Son ben accette le critiche costruttive ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;I've done a little quilt (8x9") with two flowers. I wanted to try what  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;happens reversing the predominance of the colours. The bottle has a lot of  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;white, so I've decided to use very little of it, just for binding and beads,  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;using more the colours that are less used in the bottle: blue, pink, yellow  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;and green.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;I've tried to use watersoluble pencils on silk, but I hadn't  soy to do the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-style: italic;"&gt;soy milk, so I've tried soaking the silk in a soda solution.

Ecco io ho visto la copertina e mi son detta "deve essere mio!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ma datosi che a me far le cose facili non piace, ovviamente il libro è in inglese (e questo è il minimo) e reperibile solo via internet dall'estero (non ci stupiamo poi molto no?)&lt;br /&gt;Così fu che a metà dicembre ordinai questo libro su Amazon, e gia che c'ero ne ho preso anche un altro affine, del quale non posso dire ancora nulla perchè deve arrivare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il libro che invece è arrivato oggi è "Happy Endings" di Mimi Dietrich&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8189/happyendings.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/8189/happyendings.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E' costato 19$ (+ 6 di spedizione) ed è un libretto di 75 pagine che vale secondo me ben più del prezzo, per chi come me si dedica ai quilt.&lt;br /&gt;L'argomento del libro sono i tanto amati/odiati/famigerati bordi, e nel volume viene spiegato come farli dalla A alla Z. Dalle tecniche basilari tipo come si chiudono i quilt "a cuscino", come si prepara uno sbieco, come si borda con lo sbieco, alle tecniche più particolari, come i bordi sagomati, o con inseriti i cordoncini, o i bordi con le rouche.&lt;br /&gt;Il tutto spiegato chiaramente sia dai testi (ovviamente si deve sapere l'inglese) che dalle immagini che sono molto ben fatte ed esplicative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insomma, a mio avviso un gioiellino di libro :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me contenta *_* inutile dire che non vedo l'ora di provare qualche nuovo bordo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Today I'd like to recommend a book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;I read a review on a blog, and when I saw the cover I said "it have to be mine!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;But you know, I don't like the easy way, so the book is in English and only available via internet from abroad. So it was that in mid-December I ordered this book on Amazon, and it's arrived just today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The book is "Happy Endings" by Mimi Dietrich&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;It's a 75 pages book that worth, in my opinion, far more than price, for people like me who likes to quilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;The topic of the book is the much loved / hated / infamous edges, and it explains how to do them from A to Z. From basic techniques such as pillow-turned quilts or cut and sew a bias, to the more technical details such as scalloped and design edges, or edges with cords or ruffles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Everything is clearly explained by the texts (of course you must know English) and from images that are very well done and informative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;Well, in my opinion, a gem of a book:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;I'm happy *_* Needless to say I can not wait to try some new binding techniques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php"&gt;Share&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3513046642279073519-7814309301172092823?l=orkalocastyle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/feeds/7814309301172092823/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3513046642279073519&amp;postID=7814309301172092823&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/7814309301172092823'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3513046642279073519/posts/default/7814309301172092823'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orkalocastyle.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-endings.html' title='Happy Endings'/><author><name>Silvia "OrkaLoca" Dell'Aere</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13406117918670414621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2oUXHhsCW5E/SdEaxmnSXtI/AAAAAAAAAKM/ftKXe1p6q_Q/S220/sally150.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513046642279073519.post-1465073954924358467</id><published>2009-12-29T13:24:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-29T13:32:21.502+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='applique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wall hanging'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucito'/><title type='text'>Fall Miniquilt - Fall Miniquilt</title><content type='html'>Ecco una creazione fresca fresca, un miniquilt a tema autunnale fatto per il Fall-Inspired Miniquilt Swap.&lt;br /&gt;Anche qui la stoffa è cotone, mentre l'imbottitura è poliestere.&lt;br /&gt;L'applicazione ed il trapunto ondulato di contorno son fatti a macchina mentre il trapunto che contorna il disegno, così come la scritta e lo stelo delle foglie, è fatto a mano.&lt;br /&gt;Spero piacerà a chi lo riceverà :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;

E sono utili anche per chi ha le mani fredde e magari non può lavorare coi guanti :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Io li ho scoperti un paio d'anni fa e non me ne separo più... così oggi ne ho fatti anche da vendere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono in velluto, e sono tutti duble-face, in due colori così prendendone uno si possono avere due abbinamenti di colore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6540/dscn0022o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6540/dscn0022o.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Una volta fatto il primo paio mi son detta "Eggià e se la gente non capisce a cosa servono?

Non so se sia più carina o più kitsch... in ogni caso per halloween andrà benissimo... fa molto alba dei morti viventi :p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/5325/dscn0019y.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/5325/dscn0019y.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;Today I've done these wrist-warmer.

Ad esempio quelli della ProcyonMX oppure, più facili da trovare in italia, le bustine della Deka-L&lt;br /&gt;Carbonato di Sodio: non bicarbonato, ma CARBONATO. O ve lo fate ordinare in farmacia o lo trovate al supermercato tra i detersivi per panni col nome "soda solvay"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attrezzature:&lt;br /&gt;Bacinelle, vaschette (io uso quelle col coperchio per congelare, una per colore), GUANTI, cucchiai per mescolare... tutto rigorosamente di PLASTICA&lt;br /&gt;Meglio se avete anche una mascherina&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Procedimento:&lt;br /&gt;1) Preparare la stoffa per la tintura:&lt;br /&gt;La stoffa che volete tingere deve esser cotone o lino, e non deve esser inamidata nè aver dell'ammorbidente. Quindi va prelavata e lasciata asciugare.&lt;br /&gt;Fatto questo la tagliate nei pezzi che volete tingere (io faccio 50x50cm ma potete fare a vostro piacimento).&lt;br /&gt;Indossate guanti e mascherina e lavorate in luogo ventilato&lt;br /&gt;In una bacinella versate una tazza (circa 200ml) di carbonato di calcio e 4lt di acqua calda (non bollente). State attenti agli schizzi, versate con cautela e poi mescolate col cucchiaio.&lt;br /&gt;Nella soluzione fatta immergete le stoffe da tingere e lasciatele a mollo almeno 30 minuti (non c'è tempo massimo, potete lasciarle a mollo anche tutta notte o giorni)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Preparare le tinture:&lt;br /&gt;Sul sito linkato consigliano di fare prima un concentrato, che poi si diluisce a piacere... io che avevo fretta di provare ho più grossolanamente versato il contenuto della bustina di tintura (10gr) in una bottiglia da 1,5lt che ho poi riempito con acqua calda per scioglier la polvere.&lt;br /&gt;La tintura così diluida da dei bei colori decisi.&lt;br /&gt;Riguardo i colori ho comprato quelli di base (rosso blu e giallo) e li ho poi cobinati come segue per avere 12 colori che formano una bella scala. Ogni mistura di colori l'ho messa in una vaschetta per congelare, ma van bene anche i barattoloni dello yogurt da mezzo kilo o simili contenitori (che poi NON riutilizzerete in cucina!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;legenda (per tingere quadrati da 50x50cm):&lt;br /&gt;1p= 1 parte= 50ml dalla bottiglia&lt;br /&gt;2p= 2parti= 100ml dalla bottiglia&lt;br /&gt;etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scala dei colori:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;4p rosso&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3p rosso + 1p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2p rosso + 2p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1p rosso + 3p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1p blu + 4p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2p blu + 3p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3p blu + 2p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4p blu + 1p giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4p blu&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3p blu + 1p rosso&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2p blu + 2p rosso&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;3) Tingere:&lt;br /&gt;Qui dovete scegliere se fare una tinta unita o marmorizzata. Io preferisco la seconda.&lt;br /&gt;Per la tinta unita semplicemente prendete la stoffa dal bagno di soda (COI GUANTI!!!), strizzatela, e mettetela nella vaschetta con la tinta. Per far venire il colore uniforme dovrete muovere spessissimo la stoffa.&lt;br /&gt;Per la tinta marmorizzata immergete la stoffa nella tintura una prima volta, velocemente, e strizzatela (questo serve a dare il colore di base) quindi appallottolate la stoffa e mettetela nella tinta. Non importa che sia sommersa tutta, basta "la maggior parte" e non muovetela nè mescolatela più.&lt;br /&gt;Adesso le tinture devono fare il loro lavoro, per almeno 3 ore con temperatura sopra i 21°C (altrimenti ci vuole di più)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Io ieri a questo punto ero messa così:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/4093/dscn9201.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/4093/dscn9201.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Sciacquare (taaaanto)&lt;br /&gt;Passate le 3 ore è il momento di sciacquare. E bisogna farlo bene perchè non vogliamo certo che al primo lavaggio le stoffe mollino tutto il colore.&lt;br /&gt;Ci armiamo di santa pazienza e pezzetto per pezzetto li laviamo a mano, sotto acqua corrente fredda o appena tiepida, usando un buon detersivo PER I PIATTI.&lt;br /&gt;Io do prima una bella sciacquata solo con acqua, finchè non scende acqua chiara, e solo alla fine insapono. Quando l'acqua che esce dalla stoffa è limpida si passa al pezzo dopo.&lt;br /&gt;I pezzi che man mano si sciacquano van messi in bacinelle piene di acqua in modo che restino a mollo, avendo l'accortezza di separare i colori come segue:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;rossi e arancioni assieme&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;blu e viola assieme&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;verdi e marroni chiari assieme&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;i gialli sempre da soli&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;marroni scuri e neri&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Vedrete che stando a mollo la stoffa cederà ancora colore.&lt;br /&gt;A questo punto o lasciate a mollo la stoffa finchè non cede più colore (giorni) o passate alla lavatrice. In questo caso fate andare ogni colore per almeno 2 volte (le istruzioni vorrebbero 3 ma io sono impaziente quindi ho fatto 2 volte per colore col programma rapido) mettendo al primo lavaggio un cucchiaino scarso scarso (pochissimo davvero) di detersivo per i piatti, e al secondo lavaggio quello per i panni.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Ammirare:&lt;br /&gt;Non vi resta che stendere il tutto, lasciar asciugare, stirare ed ammirare. ^_^&lt;br /&gt;Io ora sto aspettando che le stoffe di ieri asciughino bene, entro stasera ci saran le foto... e nel frattempo vado a tingerne altre che ho le tinture diluite da finire (perchè duran pochi giorni... qualcuno di più in frigo ma comunque non molto)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ecco il mio risultato:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anzitutto della tela da ricamo che ho voluto provare a tingere per vedere l'effetto che fa... ho scoperto che l'aida prende il colore in modo più intenso della stoffa... queste sono le pezze gia asciutte, ma ne ho ancora sullo stendino, la foto seguirà ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quella marroncina è tinta col the ai frutti rossi, è risultato un bel marrone, mentre il the normale non mi piace... invece le due nella fila sotto, quella al centro e quella tutta a sin, sono colorate usando la schiuma da barba e paciugando coi colori. Noterete delle sfumature molto morbide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/269/dscn9206m.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/269/dscn9206m.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per quanto riguarda la stoffa, invece, ecco cio che ne è venuto fuori, un vero arcobaleno di stoffe marmorizzate... Nella fila sopra i colori ottenuti dal primo bagno, nella fila sotto i colori ottenuti dagli stessi bagni ma diluiti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5163/dscn9207l.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5163/dscn9207l.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E qui tanto per bullarmi un po'.... le ruote di colore ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6053/dscn9209.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6053/dscn9209.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a rel="lightbox" href="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5999/dscn9211.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5999/dscn9211.jpg" alt="" width="350" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sono non soddisfatta, di più!
