More components / Še več koščkov

  Still playing with the same techniques (Helen Breil's Shapes and Iris Mishly & Hila Bushari's Cosmic Ceramic) and making more components:
  Še vedno se poigravam z istimi tehnikami (Helen Breil's Shapes in Cosmic Ceramic od Iris Mishly & Hile Bushari) in tukaj so novi koščki za nakit:

   Most of them are already on their way to Australia ... 
  Večina jih je že na poti v Avstralijo ... 

  Be happy,

End of School Year / Konec šolskega leta

  It seems like it flew away this last school year. My older son has finished the first grade of the elementary school and I have to say it is very different than in the kindergarten, where my younger one is. 
  Občutek imam, da je zadnje šolsko leto kar nekam odletelo. Naš "tastarejši" je končal prvi razred osnovne šole in moram prinzati, da ti šola vzame bistveno več časa kot vrtec, v katerem imamo pa našega "tamlajšega".


  For thanking the teachers for their good work with our children we made them collective gifts. I'm not really a supporter of individual gifts, I've been a teacher too, so I know how it is on the other side, too. 
  V zahvalo učiteljicam in vzgojiteljicam za odlično delo z našimi čmrlji smo pripravili starši skupno darilo. Sama nisem pristaš individualnih daril in ker sem kar nekaj let tudi sama učila, dobro poznam obe plati tega obdarovanja.


  I've participated with some handmade articles, of course. I have to apologize in advance for the bad quality of pictures, but they were taken with my phone the last minute before giving them away.
  Seveda sem sama dala prispevek v obliki unikatnih izdelkov.Pri tem se moram vnaprej pravičiti za zelo slabo kvaliteto slik, ki sem jih v zadnjem trenutku posnela kar s telefonom.


  A bookmark - polymer clay owl and book, with a dangle of three crystals:
 Kazalo za knjigo - sovica in knjiga sta iz polimerne gline, dodan je še obesek iz treh kristalčkov:
 

  & a coordianted polymer clay pendant (made combining the techniques from Helen Breil's Shapes and Cosmic Ceramic tutorial by Iris Mishly and Hila Bushari):
  & obesek na vrvici v istih barvah (izdelala sem ga z oborabo tehnik iz knjige Helen Breil Shapes ter tutoriala Cosmic Ceramic od Iris Mishly in Hile Bushari):

 

   
   Two more pendants using the same techniques:
  Še dva obeska, izdelana z uporabo istih tehnik:

2Cellos and Work in Progress / 2Cellos in delo v teku

   Can you imagine the songs by Sting, Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2 and others being performed by a pair of cellos? Well, I certainly do!!! The concert of 2Cellos in Koper yesterday was a blast!!!
   Si predstavljate pesmi od Stinga, Michaela Jacksona, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, U2 in drugih v ozvedbi para vilončelov? Kdo pa še ne pozna zasedbe 2Cellos ... Včerajšnji koncert v Kopru je bil prava poslastica!!!

  For a little taste of it listen to this (you can find more on their official site and YouTube), but it's much better alive in the beautiful atmosphere of the Koper main square and Pretorian Palace. 
   Malo se lahko posladkate s tem posnetkom (veliko več lahko najdete na njuni  uradni spletni strani ali YouTube-u), čeprav je neprimerljivo s koncertom v živo in to v čudoviti atmosferi Koprskega Titovega trga in Pretorske palače.

  Hmmmmmm, let's go to polymer now. 
  Aaaahhhh, pa se preselimo zdaj k polimerni glini.

  I don't buy tutorials very often, I prefer to experiment trying to figure out the techniques and procedures by myself, but there are some tutorials I just need to have. I still consider myself a beginner in polymer clay and this is one of the ways to learn from Masters. 
  Tutorialov ne kupujem pogosto, ker rajši eksperimentiram in poskušam sama priti do posameznih tehnik in postopkov, vendar se včasih pojavi kakšen tutorial, ki ga enostavno moram imeti. Imam se namreč za začetnico pri delu s polimerno maso in to predstavlja eno od možnosti, da se učiš od Mojstrov.


  Some time ago I've bought Helen Breil's book Shapes and lately the Cosmic Ceramic tutorial by Iris Mishly and Hila Bushari. Now I've decided to combine both and these are my first pendants. They still need to be assembled with some other parts to be finished necklaces, but I wanted to show this work in progress.
   Pred časom sem tako kupila knjigo od Helen Breil Shapes,pred kratkim pa še tutorial Cosmic Ceramic, ki sta ga izdali Iris Mishly in Hila Bushari. Odločila sem se, da kombiniram obe tehniki in nastali so tile obeski, ki jih moram še sestaviti v končno obliko.


 

Roughly textured edges (in person looks better) / Groba tekstura na robovih (v živo izgleda lepše)

Bronze patina on the inner edge / Bronasta patina na notranjem robu

Summer sunny colours / Poletne sončne barve

  Be happy!
  Bodite srečni!
