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.

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.

Voščilo, voščilnice - greetings, greeting cards

Vesele božične praznike in vse dobro v letu 2010 želim vsem, ki se ustavite na mojem blogu! Merry Christmas season and all the best in 2010 to everybody that stops by my blog! Letos sem božične in novoletne voščilnice izdelala na svojem ročno izdelanem papirju, na katerega sem prilepila sličice jaslic ali svete družine (in jih zaprla v kuverte, preden sem pomislila, da bi jih bilo dobro fotografirati, ojoj). Na druge sem prilepila kartončke z zvezdo repatico, večje in manjše pozlačene zvezdice, narisala zlatega angelčka skozi šablono - kot vidite na zgornjih fotografijah.Zraven sem poslušala in si prepevala božične pesmi in preživela res lepe urice v mislih na vse tiste, ki sem jim voščilnice poslala. This year I made my Christmas and New Year Cards with my handmade paper. I glued pictures of Nativity or the Holy Family on them - and closed the envelopes before it occurred to me it would be wise to take some photos :-( I made others by gluing smaller pieces of carton with a Christmas Star, small and large stars painted gold, draw a golden angel using a template - as may be seen in the above pictures. While doing this I listened to and sang Christmas carols. I spent really pleasant hours thinking of those I was going to send the cards.
