Velika noč - Easter

Vesele velikonočne praznike želim vsem obiskovalcem bloga!

Happy Easter season to all visitors of my blog!

Vesele velikonočne praznike! - Happy Easter holidays!!

.... vsem obiskovalcem bloga.
Letos sem naredila voščilnice v obliki pirhov. V prvi seriji sem v jajčast izrez kartona vstavila barvne kose filca, voščilnice izpisala, vstavila v kuverte, zalepila, napisala naslove in prilepila znamke. Šele ko sem vse nesla na pošto, me je prešinilo - nisem jih poslikala :-( 
Za drugo serijo sem jajčaste kartončke oblekla v napol sfilcano  volno, barvano s košeniljko, in jih prilepila na kartončke. Te pa sem poslikala, preden je bilo prepozno.

... to all visitors of my blog.
This year I made greeting cards in the shape of coloured Easter eggs. In the first series I used cards with egg-shaped cut-outs where I placed natural dyed pieces of loosely felted wool, wrote my greetings, inserted the cards in envelopes, closed (with glue), wrote the addresses, and placed the stamps. It was only when I was carrying all of them to the postbox that I realized I hadn't taken any photos :-(
To make the other series I dressed egg-shaped carton cut-outs into half felted wool dyed with cochineal and glued them onto sartons. And I did take photos before it would be too late.

Volnene velikonočne voščilnice - Woolly Easter cards

 Kmalu bo Velika noč in počasi skončujem svoje letošnje volnene velikonočne voščilnice.  Nekaj sem jih naredila s striženo volno in nekaj s česano, vso seveda barvano z rastlinami. Filc sem pritrdila na ročno izdelan papir. Na nekatere sem svoje voščilo napisala na papir, pri tistih, ki so pregrobi za pisanje, pa sem dodala razlikano čajno vrečko, obarvano s čajem.

Easter holidays are near and I've nearly completed my woolly Easter cards. I made some cards using shorn locks and others with carded wool; of course all wool is natural dyed. I fastened felted pieces onto handmade paper. I wrote some wishes on the paper and when it was too rough for writing I added a tea dyed bag I had ironed before.

Takole so bili videti filci v vodi, kjer sem jih spirala.
This is how felted pieces looked floating in rinsing water.

Začetek je bil videti takole: strižena volna, česana volna in različne nitke in koščki. 
This was the beginning: wool flocks, carded wool and various yarns and pieces.

Nekaj voščilnic pa sem izvezla na zeleno sintetično platno in na stramin.
I also stitched some Easter cards on green synthetic cloth and on etamine.

Voščilnice sem delala v nekakšnem mirnem veselju in je to zame tudi priprava na velikonočne praznike. Upam, da bodo razveselile tudi tiste, ki so jim namenjene.

I made the cards in sort of peaceful joy and it was also my preparation for the Easter holiday. I hope they raise the spirits of those who will receive them.

Vesele velikonočne praznike - Happy Easter

Vsem obiskovalcem bloga želim blagoslovljene praznike. Kristus je vstal, aleluja!

I wish a blessed Easter to all visitors of my blog. Christ is risen, alleluia!

Velikonočne voščilnice - Easter cards

Bliža se Velika noč. V mislih na voščilnice sem šla malo pogledat, kakšne "volnene" voščilnice sem že delala, tako malo za navdih. Rdeči in modri pirhi so iz sintetično barvane volne, ostalo je barvano z rastlinami.

Easter is coming in a few weeks. Thinking about cards to make I had a look at the pictures of those I have made in previous years, to get some inspiration so to say. The red and the blue eggs are made of synthetically dyed wool, all others are natural dyed.

Veselo veliko noč! - Happy Easter!

Vstal je Kristus, upanje moje, aleluja! Vesele velikonočne praznike želim vsem obiskovalcem! Christ my hope has risen! Alleluia! Wishing a happy Easter holiday to all visitors of my blog!
