Coasters
Posted by bayan
It was long time since I wrote about my cloth cups and my Lets cloth it project. As a result of doing few different things in the same time some of my ideas and projects are on hold for a while, long while.
This week I finally got some time to design the second item in this project:
My cloth coasters.
As the cloth cups, the coasters are replicas of the saucers from my grandmother's porcelain set.
It was a long process of designing much more than I estimated. I sew more the 15 different pieces changing some details in the sewing techniques or in the pattern till I got the design I liked and satisfied by.
I spent much more time than I spent on the designing of the cups.
Well I should have known it already that the things that seem to be simple to make always becoming the most complicated.
Any way here they are, also available at my etsy store.
The dog, the bag and the arctic birds
Posted by bayan
During his daily walk one of the arctic birds noticed a handbag.
The second bird found a sleeping dog.
The dog was frightened when he woke up and saw the two birds staring at him. He looked for a safety and known place.
The birds worried about leaving him alone outside in the cold.
They carried him all the way to the Blondie girl, she was the first one they came across with. They didn't know it's her dog.
She was so exited.
For a long time she was looking for the dog. Together with him and her best friend she was planing a long trip abroad. Now they all have to leave.

The crochet doll waited on the top of the chest for a long while, but today her hand had to be operated.
Socks dolls and the news
Posted by bayan
The two socks dolls were done few days ago.
Unforteuntly they happend to see, hear and read too much news over the last few days.
Earlier today the socks duck asked me to turn off TV. It couldn't bear all those war experts explaining the meanings and importance of the attacks.
For a while it was staring on its shirt, then just said that for his opinion they are all wrong.
The socks frog, who was hiding in the other room came back when it heard that the TV was off.
They have nothing to say anymore, just stammering "stupid, stupid" all the time.
These dolls were created to bring some joy to adults and kids. Now when watching the blind killings of both adults and kids Arabs and Israelis, they and me feel so useless, sad and angry.
Both of them (as I did) were so touched by the beautiful words my friend Tali wrote few days ago in her new blog, at the same time emotional and rational thoughts about un-violent way to solve conflicts. Doesn't seems to be realistic at the moment, and for that reason so important/intelligent touching educating, and hopeful.
