Ich habe die True Blue Gin Blossom von Jeannie gezeichnet, um ein Gefühl für Textur, Farbe und Größe des Anhängers zu bekommen und ich habe schon einige Ideen. Mal sehen, was dabei herauskommt, wenn ich all mein kreatives Talent in die&lt;br /&gt;Waagschale werfe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noch nie was vom ,,Echo Creative Club“ gehört? Dann dürft&lt;br /&gt;ihr gespannt sein auf meinen Mittwochspost mit Links und mehr Informationen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s a sketch that should help me with the design process for “Echo Creative Club” in February. I sketched the True Blue Gin Blossom I got from Jeannie to get a feeling for texture, color and size of this pendant. I already have some ideas for the pendant. So let’s see what happens when I throw in all my creative talents in the design process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never heard of “Echo Creative Club”?

Dieser Kurs fand im Rahmen einer &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/search?q=chainmaille-abenteuer"&gt;Veranstaltungsreihe&lt;/a&gt; statt, bei der Jugendlichen und auch Erwachsenen handwerkliche Fertigkeiten und altes Handwerk nahegebracht werden sollen. Der Leder-Workshop war bisher die zweite Veranstaltung dieser Art. Hier sind nur zwei der hübschen Täschchen, die hergestellt wurden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;On Monday I taught a leather workshop with two other talented ladies. This workshop was the second event in a &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/search?q=chainmaille-abenteuer"&gt;series&lt;/a&gt; where young and old people can develop and increase their crafting skills and learn about old crafting techniques and also from each other.

Eine der ersten Aufgaben im Drawing Lab 2011 waren Vögel. Ich mag Raubvögel sehr gerne und habe es mit einem Steinadler versucht. Beim Zeichnen von Vögeln finde ich die Federn immer am interessantesten, aber auch am schwierigsten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Montagsmaler" No 1! One of the first assignments in Drawing Lab 2011 was drawing birds. I like prey birds very much and tried a Golden Eagle. While drawing birds I put the focus on the feathers, as they are interesting but difficult to draw.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694956587165466034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hehpud7E7Es/TwiM18VEvbI/AAAAAAAAA-g/XezR-19FFcg/s320/Montagsmaler%2B2012%2B01.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eine meiner Lieblingsstatuen ist ,,End of the Trail" von James Earle Fraser. Obwohl der Hintergrund dieser Arbeit ein sehr trauriger ist, liebe ich die Statue trotzdem, weil sie so ausdrucksvoll ist. Ich habe die Skizze letztes Jahr für eine Students-Choice-Aufgabe gemacht und habe sie nun mit Schattierungen verfeinert und Details hinzugefügt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of my favorite statues is "End of the Trail" by James Earle Fraser. Although the historic background is a very sad one I love the statue because it is so impressive.

I read a lot of posts by my blogging friends all around the world and thought I'd share my plans for 2012, too.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Einmal werde ich an Jeannies &lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2012/01/01/echo-creative-club/"&gt;Echo Creative Club&lt;/a&gt; teilnehmen. Das ist ein Club, bei dem verschiedene Künstler jeden Monat etwa mit ihren unglaublich schönen Perlen (wie &lt;a href="http://www.jkdjewelry.com/"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; zu sehen) machen werden. Wenn ihr mitmachen möchtet, klickt auf den Link oben.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;First there is &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2012/01/01/echo-creative-club/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Echo Creative Club&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, hosted by my dear friend Jeannie of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jkdjewelry.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jewelry by Jeannie&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. Echo Creative Club is a monthly challenge with changing participants and featuring Jeannie's oh so beautiful art beads. Click the link and see what's behind and how to participate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Zum Zweiten möchte ich gerne meine Zeichenkünste weiter verfeiner und deswegen das &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/drawing-lab-2011.html"&gt;Drawing Lab 2011&lt;/a&gt; ins ,,Drawing Lab 2012: Montagsmaler" umwandeln. Meine Zeichnungen werde ich dann jeden Montag in der Kategorie Montagsmaler (an die Show können sich vermutlich noch viele erinnern, aber meine Zeichenkünste sind hoffentlich besser als die mancher Kandidaten ;-)) veröffentlichen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second is the transformation of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/drawing-lab-2011.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Drawing Lab 2011 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;in Drawing Lab 2012. I had so much fun drawing every week, fulfilling a certain assignment and uploading my work to a Flickr group for all to see. I'm going to continue my weekly drawing routine to increase my skills and learn more about drawing techniques. I'll post my work every Monday in the category called "Montagsmaler" (translation: "Monday Painters", which was once a famous gameshow in Germany).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Drittens gibt es eine Neuauflage der Color Challenges von Marcie auf &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/"&gt;La Bella Joya&lt;/a&gt;. Wenn ihr die &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/margie-me-63-portrait-of-lady-with.html"&gt;Margie &amp;amp; Me Challenges&lt;/a&gt; aus 2011 gemocht habt, dann werdet ihr die neue Challenge lieben: &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2012/01/fashion-inspiration-blog-hop-baby-its.html"&gt;Fashion Inspiration Blog Hop&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Third is a new series of of color challenges by Marcie of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;La Bella Joya&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. Remember the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/margie-me-63-portrait-of-lady-with.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Margie &amp;amp; Me Challenges &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;of last year? When you loved them, then you will freak out about the new one called &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2012/01/fashion-inspiration-blog-hop-baby-its.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fashion Inspiration Blog Hop&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tja, und dann sind da noch die ein oder zwei kleinen Dinge, die ich für mich selbst erreichen will: ich möchte meine Nähkünste erweitern und von meiner talentierten Mutter lernen, wie man Kleidung näht. Weiterhin würde ich dieses Jahr gerne mehr Dinge für mich selbst machen und nicht so oft darüber nachdenken, was sich gut verkaufen könnte oder was andere mögen könnten. Ich freue mich auf eine kreatives Jahr und hoffe, dass ich euch in 2012 recht oft in Bloggerland treffe!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;And then there are the one or two things I want to achieve for myself: increase my sewing skills with the help of my talented Mom and learn from her how to sew clothes plus I want to make more things for myself instead of thinking what might sell and what other people might like. I'm looking forward to a creative and fun year and hope to see you often in bloggerland!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-8065132927604886991?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/8065132927604886991/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/kokopelli-design-2012.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/8065132927604886991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/8065132927604886991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/kokopelli-design-2012.html' title='Kokopelli Design 2012'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ojTnQRZm3vw/TwhrO-7M72I/AAAAAAAAA-U/rs6T_XZYkgw/s72-c/Picture1.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-6650399409977866201</id><published>2012-01-06T00:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T03:03:14.599-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nähen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rauhnächte'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='patchwork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quilten'/><title type='text'>6. Januar: Tischdecke/Tablecloth</title><content type='html'>So, die letzte Rauhnacht ist vorüber und wir hatten hier nochmal ziemlich Sturm. Vielen Dank auch an alle Besucher und Leser für die netten Kommentare. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Und was macht man nach so einer ,,rauhen" Nacht? Natürlich ans nächste Weihnachten denken!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;So here we are on the last day of the Twelve Days of Christmas and we had a heavy storm again here last night. The Twelve Days were a wonderful experience with you all and I had lots of visitors and kind comments. And what do we do after such a stormy last night? Think of next Christmas, of course!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694470726675232770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dH4fPTA1TWM/TwbS9I9WeAI/AAAAAAAAA-I/s4gqwar6fkQ/s320/PICT6970.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Natürlich habe ich mir neben den ganzen Geschenken auch selber was genäht und zwar eine ganz klassische Mitteldecke in rot und weiß mit Weihnachtsstoffen. Ich habe einfach neun 20 cm große Stoffquadrate genommen, zusammengenäht und mit rotem hinterlegt. Innen ist ein dünnes Bügelvlies, damit die Decke ein wenig mehr Substanz bekommt. Schon traurig, dass ich die Decke wieder im Dezmeber auflegen kann.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Of course I sewed something for myself besides all the gifts: a classic tablecloth in red and white with Christmas fabrics. I made a 9 patch block from 20 cm squares, backed it with red fabric and put thin Vliesofix inside to make the tablecloth a bit stronger. So sad that I can only pull out this tablecloth next December.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-6650399409977866201?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/6650399409977866201/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/6-januar-tischdecketablecloth.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/6650399409977866201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/6650399409977866201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/6-januar-tischdecketablecloth.html' title='6.

Januar: Schlehenlikör/Blackthorn Liqueur</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Könnt ihr euch noch &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/schlehenlikorblackthorn-liqueur.html"&gt;erinnern&lt;/a&gt;, als ich den angesetzt habe? Er ist rechtzeitig zu Weihnachten fertig geworden und schmeckt köstlich! Ich habe wegen der wenigen verfügbaren Schlehen nur ungefähr einen halben Liter gemacht, deshalb gab's nicht viel zum Teilen/Verschenken. Aber da der Likör so fein schmeckt, wollte ich gern das rezept mit euch teilen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/schlehenlikorblackthorn-liqueur.html"&gt;Remember&lt;/a&gt; that one? It's now ready and tastes DELICIOUS! I only got about half a liter, so not much for gift giving or sharing. But as the liqueur tastes so fine, I'd like to share the more than simple recipe with you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693306553147543602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MbT9RGpphlQ/TwKwJUnDUDI/AAAAAAAAA98/sUy31_yitqM/s320/Schlehenlik%25C3%25B6r" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Schlehen (Früchte der Prunus spinosa)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Zucker&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Manche wissen es, manche nicht, deshalb sage ich es lieber dazu: Schlehen bitte erst nach dem ersten Frost ernten. Man kann auch einen Umweg gehen und die Schlehen vollreif ernten und sie dann 24h einfrieren. Das Einfrieren führt dazu, dass ein Teil der bitter schmeckenden Gerbstoffe abgebaut wird.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Und damit zum Rezept. Die Menge hängt davon ab, wieviele Schlehen ihr habt. Die Schlehen waschen, einzeln mit einem Holzspieß ein bis zweimal einstechen und dann in ein großes Glas geben (ich habe ein Gurkenglas mit ca. 700 ml Inhalt genommen. Das Glas sollte bis zur Hälfte mit Schlehen gefüllt sein. Darüber dann Zucker streuen, bis die Hohlräume zwischen den Schlehen gefüllt sind. Dann mit Gin aufgießen. Wer keinen Gin mag, kann auch Wodka oder Korn nehmen, aber der Gin paßt wirklich hervorragend zu den Schlehen. Das Glas fest verschließen und auf die Fensterbank stellen. Ab und zu schütteln, damit sich der Zucker auflöst. Der Likör sollte klar sein und eine tiefrote Farbe haben, dann kann man ihn in Flaschen abfüllen (natürlich ohne die Schlehen ;-)).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sloes&lt;br /&gt;(berries of Prunus spinosa)&lt;br /&gt;Gin&lt;br /&gt;Sugar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some know, some may not, so I better say it. Please harvest sloes only after the first&lt;br /&gt;frost. You can also pick them fully ripened and put them in the freezer for&lt;br /&gt;about 24 hours. The freezing reduces the bitter ingredients.&lt;br /&gt;So let’s start with the recipe. The amounts depend on how many sloes you got. Wash the&lt;br /&gt;sloes, prick each sloe once or twice with a toothpick and fill them in a big&lt;br /&gt;jar (I took a pickles jar with approx.. 700 ml). The jar should be filled half&lt;br /&gt;with sloes. Put sugar over the sloes until the gaps between the sloes are&lt;br /&gt;filled. Then fill up with gin. You can take vodka or rye schnaps, but the gin&lt;br /&gt;goes perfectly with the sloes. Close the jar and put on the window shelf. Shake&lt;br /&gt;every now and then, so the sugar dissolves. The liqueur should be clear and&lt;br /&gt;have a deep red color, then you can put it in bottles (of course without the&lt;br /&gt;sloes ;-)).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-5567382226454703949?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/5567382226454703949/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/5-januar-schlehenlikorblackthorn.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5567382226454703949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5567382226454703949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/5-januar-schlehenlikorblackthorn.html' title='5.

Hier sind also meine Ohrringe mit dem passenden Armband. Coooool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So there was another swap in December and it is completed by now, as most participants got their earrings and bracelets. I only participated in the earring swap and here is what I got and made.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;My earrings came from Christina and she remembered that she once made me a bracelet with millefiori beads and vintage jewelry components in another swap.

Yummm!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Butterstollen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je 100 g Zitronat und Orangeat&lt;br /&gt;100 g Rosinen&lt;br /&gt;6 EL Rum oder lauwarmes Wasser&lt;br /&gt;1 kg Mehl&lt;br /&gt;2 Würfel Hefe oder 2 Tütchen&lt;br /&gt;Trockenhefe&lt;br /&gt;250 g Zucker&lt;br /&gt;¼ Liter Milch&lt;br /&gt;Je 1 Prise Salz, Piment,&lt;br /&gt;Kardamom und Muskatblüte&lt;br /&gt;400g zimmerwarme Butter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum Bestreichen&lt;br /&gt;100 g Butter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zum Bestäuben&lt;br /&gt;50-60 g Puderzucker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.       &lt;br /&gt;Zitronat und&lt;br /&gt;Orangeat fein hacken. Mit den Rosinen in eine Schüssel geben und mit Rum (oder&lt;br /&gt;Wasser) beträufeln. Durchziehen lassen, bis der Teig gegangen ist.&lt;br /&gt;2.       &lt;br /&gt;Das Mehl in eine&lt;br /&gt;große Schüssel füllen und in die Mitte eine Vertiefung drücken. Die Hefe in die&lt;br /&gt;Vertiefung geben und mit einem EL Zucker bestreuen.&lt;br /&gt;3.       &lt;br /&gt;Die Milch&lt;br /&gt;erhitzen, bis sie lauwarm ist. Etwa ein Drittel davon in die Vertiefung gießen.&lt;br /&gt;Die Hefe, den Zucker und etwas Mehl vom Rand verrühren, bis sich die Hefe&lt;br /&gt;aufgelöst hat. 30 Minuten gehen lassen.&lt;br /&gt;4.       &lt;br /&gt;Den übrigen&lt;br /&gt;Zucker, die restliche Milch und die Gewürze zufügen. Die Butter in kleine&lt;br /&gt;Stücken dazugeben und alles zu einem glatten Teig verarbeiten. Solange kneten,&lt;br /&gt;bis sich der Teig vom Schüsselrand löst. Abdecken und eine Stunde gehen lassen.&lt;br /&gt;5.       &lt;br /&gt;Dann die&lt;br /&gt;eingeweichten Früchte zum Teig geben und unterkneten.&lt;br /&gt;6.       &lt;br /&gt;Dann den Teig in&lt;br /&gt;zwei Hälften teilen und beide Teile mit dem Nudelholz ein wenig flachrollen.&lt;br /&gt;Dann eine Seite bis knapp über die Mitte schlagen, so dass die typische&lt;br /&gt;Stollenform entsteht. Auf das Blech legen und nochmals etwa zwei Stunden gehen&lt;br /&gt;lassen.&lt;br /&gt;7.       &lt;br /&gt;Den Backofen aus&lt;br /&gt;180°C vorheizen. Das Blech auf die unterste Schien in den Backofen schieben und&lt;br /&gt;etwa eine Stunde backen.&lt;br /&gt;8.       &lt;br /&gt;Die Butter&lt;br /&gt;schmelzen und die Stollen gleich nach dem Backen und mehrmals beim Abkühlen&lt;br /&gt;damit bestreichen. Wenn sie abgekühlt sind, dick mit Puderzucker bestäuben und&lt;br /&gt;gut verpackt an einem kühlen Ort aufbewahren.&lt;br /&gt;9.       &lt;br /&gt;Die Stollen&lt;br /&gt;sollten mindestens zwei bis drei Wochen durchziehen, bevor sie angeschnitten&lt;br /&gt;werden. Also rechtzeitig vor Weihnachten loslegen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Butter Stollenbread&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100 g of each candied lemon and orange peel&lt;br /&gt;100 g raisins&lt;br /&gt;6 tablespoons rum or warm water&lt;br /&gt;1 kg flour&lt;br /&gt;2 cubes of fresh or 2 baggies of dry yeast&lt;br /&gt;250 g sugar&lt;br /&gt;250 ml milk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="_GoBack"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;a pinch of salt, pimento, cardamom and mace&lt;br /&gt;400 g warm butter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for glazing/topping&lt;br /&gt;100 g butter&lt;br /&gt;50 – 60 g powdered sugar&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.        &lt;br /&gt;Cut candied lemon and orange peel in fine cubes. Put in&lt;br /&gt;a bowl with raisins and pour the rum over it. Let it sit until the dough is&lt;br /&gt;ready.&lt;br /&gt;2.        &lt;br /&gt;Put the flour in a big bowl and make a pit in the middle.&lt;br /&gt;Put the yeast in the middle and add a tablespoon of sugar.&lt;br /&gt;3.        &lt;br /&gt;Heat the milk until it is lukewarm and pour one third&lt;br /&gt;on the yeast and the sugar. Stir with a bit of flour from the edge until the&lt;br /&gt;sugar and the yeast dissolved.  Let it&lt;br /&gt;rise for about 30 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;4.        &lt;br /&gt;Add the rest of the sugar and the milk and the spices.&lt;br /&gt;Add the butter in small pieces and mix until the dough is smooth. Let the dough&lt;br /&gt;rise for another hour.&lt;br /&gt;5.        &lt;br /&gt;Now take the soaked fruits and mix into the dough.&lt;br /&gt;6.        &lt;br /&gt;Now cut the dough in half and roll both pieces flat a&lt;br /&gt;bit. Then fold over one half lengthwise to get the typical shape of a “Stollen”.&lt;br /&gt;Put both pieces on the baking tray and let them rise for another two hours.&lt;br /&gt;7.        &lt;br /&gt;Heat the oven up to 180°C. Put the baking tray on the&lt;br /&gt;lowest shelf and bake for about 1 hour.&lt;br /&gt;8.        &lt;br /&gt;Melt the butter for the topping and coat the Stollen&lt;br /&gt;several times while they cool down. After they have cooled down completely,&lt;br /&gt;sprinkle it with powdered sugar, so you got a thick coat of it on the Stollen.&lt;br /&gt;Wrap them well and store in a cool place.&lt;br /&gt;9.        &lt;br /&gt;The Stollen should have the time to rest for at least&lt;br /&gt;two or three weeks to develop the typical flavor and consistency.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-8647191073884599366?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/8647191073884599366/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/01/2-januar-butterstollenbutter.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/8647191073884599366'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/8647191073884599366'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/01/2-januar-butterstollenbutter.html' title='2.

Es war wirklich ein Riesenspaß und ich werde dieses Jahr einige der Zeichenaufgaben wiederholen, um zu sehen, wie sich meine Fähigkeiten verbessert haben. Ich plane, jede Woche mindestens eine Zeichnung zu machen. Mal sehen, ob ich das schaffe. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my last assignment from Drawing Lab 2011. It was a lot of fun and I will redo some of the assignments this year, just to stay in in "drawing mood" and see how my skill developped. I plan to do at least one drawing every week.

Die Ohrringe sind aus Messing, Türkis und Koralle gemacht, natürlich mit von mir handgemachten Ohrhaken. Ich habe sie ,,Kailash" genannt, weil sie mich sehr an tibetischen Schmuck erinnern und der Berg Kailash ist ja der heilige Berg der Tibeter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I already share these earrings with you, but now they became a gift for a very dear coworker. She loves them as ethnic inspired jewelry is absolutely her taste. The earrings are made with brass components, turquoise and coral beads and of course with a pair of my handmade ear wires. I named them "Kailash" as they reminded me of the traditional jewelry of Tibetan people and Mount Kailash is the holy mountain of the Tibetans.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-2323055550837993183?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2323055550837993183/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/12/30-dezember-berg-kailash-ohrringemount.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2323055550837993183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2323055550837993183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/12/30-dezember-berg-kailash-ohrringemount.html' title='30.

Diese und andere Grußkarten mit Fadengrafik werden in der Kreativwerkstatt meines Arbeitgebers hergestellt. Ich habe einige davon zu Weihnachten an Geschäftspartner verschickt, auch mit anderen Designs und konnte nicht umhin, eine davon mit euch zu teilen. Fadengrafik ist ja sehr einfach zu machen, sieht aber immer toll aus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now isn't this beautiful? This greeting card is made in the creative workshop of my employer. I sent some of them for Christmas to business partners and had to share at least one with you all.

Den Teig in Folie wickeln und mindestens vier Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen, am besten jedoch über Nacht. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;5. Den Backofen auf 180°C vorheizen. Den Teig mit ein bißchen Mehl 5-6 mm dick ausrollen und Herzen und Sterne (oder andere Formen) ausstechen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. Ich dekoriere meine Lebkuchen vor dem Backen ganz klassisch mit halbierten, blanchierten Mandeln. Man kann sie aber auch nach dem Backen mit Zuckerguss dekorieren.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;7. Nun ca. 18 Minuten auf der mittleren Schiene backen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;8. Nach dem Auskühlen in Dosen verpacken und einen Apfelschitz dazugeben, damit sie weich werden. Man kann die Dose aber auch einfach einige Tage offen lassen, das geht schneller.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;They look delicious, right? So here's the recipe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;250 g honey&lt;br /&gt;250 g brown sugar&lt;br /&gt;150 g butter&lt;br /&gt;100 g ground almonds&lt;br /&gt;400-450 g flour&lt;br /&gt;2 teaspoons gingerbread spice&lt;br /&gt;ground lemon zest of a 1/2 lemon&lt;br /&gt;1 tablespoon of cocoa&lt;br /&gt;1 egg&lt;br /&gt;1 teaspoon potash&lt;br /&gt;2 tablespoons of rum or water &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. Melt honey, sugar and butter in a pot. Stir well until the sugar dissolves. Then fill into a big bowl and let it get cool.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;2. Add almonds, flour, gingerbread spice and the egg and stir well. Dissolve the potash in rum or sugar, add and stir again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Mix the dough until it appears glossy and doesn't stick. Add flour if needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Wrap the paste in foil and put in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, better during a whole night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Heat the oven up to 180°C. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5-6 mm and use cookie cutter of your choice to get hearts, stars (or whatever you like).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I like the classic look and decorate my gingerbread with almonds before baking. But you can also decorate it with sugar glaze after baking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Bake for approx. 18 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Take them out and let them cool. Put them in tins with some apple slices to make them soft or just leave the tins open for some days. That method is a lot faster.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-2335729606805768660?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2335729606805768660/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/12/26-dezember-lebkuchen-rezeptgingerbread.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2335729606805768660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2335729606805768660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/12/26-dezember-lebkuchen-rezeptgingerbread.html' title='26.

Über den Link oben könnt ihr die interessanten Posts vom letzten Jahr zu diesem Thema lesen. Ich genieße diese Tage immer sehr, weil sie so ruhig und beschaulich und so voller Magie sind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last year I already talked about the &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/search?q=rauhn%C3%A4chte"&gt;12 Days of Christmas&lt;/a&gt; and the customs we have here in Germany concerning those days in between the years. Follow the link above and you can read the interesting posts from last year.

Mal sehen, was dabei herauskommt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I made a little pouch from green leather for a workshop I'll hold on Monday evening. Me and some other people will talk about what leathercraft projects could be interesting for kids to make.

Als allerdings Landschaften eine Aufgabe im Drawing Lab waren, da war ich ein bißchen ratlos. Aber dafür zeige ich euch, neben meinem Werk, drei andere Bilder, die mir sehr gut gefallen haben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Landscapes are often painted and I liked doing them back in school. As long as I didn't have to draw people (which I couldn't). But when there were a landscape assignment in Drawing Lab last week, I was lost. But I'll show you three landscape paintings, I really like.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die beiden ersten Gemälde sind von &lt;a href="http://lutkaandco.com/2011/10/29/drawing-lab-2011-landscape/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt;. Sie hat mit Pastellkreiden die Orangenhaine und Hügel ihrer Heimat gezeichnet. Hier liebe ich besonders die Farben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;These are from &lt;a href="http://lutkaandco.com/2011/10/29/drawing-lab-2011-landscape/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt;. She used chalk pastels and drew the local orange groves with the badlands as a backdrop. I love the colors in these.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670351134941457042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 123px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FvOnuI1AzRA/TrEiUH3rKpI/AAAAAAAAA1s/okDWYmFtsjY/s320/LindaDjokic_Week44Landscape.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Und dann ist da das Aquarellbild von &lt;a href="http://designsketching.blogspot.com/2011/11/becoming-natural-with-using-blogs.html"&gt;Kat&lt;/a&gt;, welches mir so gut gefällt, dass ich es mir sofort an die Wand hängen würde. Sie hat eine Waldlandschaft ihrer Heimat Wisconsin gemalt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And then there is the watercolor painting by &lt;a href="http://designsketching.blogspot.com/2011/11/becoming-natural-with-using-blogs.html"&gt;Kat&lt;/a&gt;, which I like so much that I'd hang it on my wall immediately. She painted the Northwoods of Wisconsin.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zYi4YShH-_Q/TrEiUPs7CAI/AAAAAAAAA1g/zbpC4N9gGLk/s1600/Lab43_Kat_Julin_Landscape.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670351137043843074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zYi4YShH-_Q/TrEiUPs7CAI/AAAAAAAAA1g/zbpC4N9gGLk/s320/Lab43_Kat_Julin_Landscape.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Und das ist schließlich meine Zeichnung: der Blick aus meinem Büro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;And finally that is my drawing: the view from my office.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6tvxDJ8gQyE/Tq61EteldXI/AAAAAAAAA1U/0stYgOiDL4A/s1600/Lab%2B43%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BView%2Bfrom%2Ba%2Bhill.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669668073438016882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 229px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6tvxDJ8gQyE/Tq61EteldXI/AAAAAAAAA1U/0stYgOiDL4A/s320/Lab%2B43%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BView%2Bfrom%2Ba%2Bhill.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-2459777937338970292?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2459777937338970292/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/11/drawing-lab-2011-landschaftenlandscapes.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2459777937338970292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2459777937338970292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/11/drawing-lab-2011-landschaftenlandscapes.html' title='Drawing Lab 2011: Landschaften/Landscapes'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FvOnuI1AzRA/TrEiUH3rKpI/AAAAAAAAA1s/okDWYmFtsjY/s72-c/LindaDjokic_Week44Landscape.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-5658363287701629090</id><published>2011-10-26T00:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T00:00:10.523-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blog hop'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Challenge'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jewelry by jeannie'/><title type='text'>Do Over Challenge 2: Die Enthüllung/The Reveal</title><content type='html'>Endlich ist der Tag der großen Enthüllung da: Do Over Challenge 2 inklusive Blog Hop! Leider konnte ich ja bei der ersten Do Over Challenge nicht dabei sein, da mein Schmuckstück leider in der Post verlorengegangen ist. Aber da es nach ca. zwei Monaten doch noch hier aufgetaucht ist, hatte ich für dieses Mal schon einen Vorsprung. Unten seht ihr mein Schmuckstück vor der Verwandlung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So here it finally is: the BIG reveal of Do Over Challenge 2, hosted by my blogging friend Jeannie. I couldn't participate in the first Do Over Challenge, because my piece of jewelry got lost in the mail. But after it showed up (two months later) I got a head start for this challenge. Below you can see my piece before the do over.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666929841800103858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8x7mD0M5JnE/TqT6qpuOR7I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/0HEm8SZssN4/s320/Do%2BOver%2BChallenge%2Bbefore.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also was macht man mit diesen glitzernden roten und grauen facettierten Tropfen? Der erste Gedanke war Vertical Netting. Ich habe schon einige Netzstücke nach dem gleichen Muster gearbeitet, die durch die Variationen im Material und der Anzahl der Perlen sehr unterschiedlich wirken. Für diese Variante habe ich außer den silbernen Rocailles alles aus der alten Kette verwendet, inklusive Ohrhaken und Verschluss (so ein Verlängerungskettchen ist bei diesem Design sehr praktisch). Die Rocailles haben leider schon angefangen, ihre Farbe zu verlieren und so habe sie durch 11/-Rocailles in rot und schwarz ersetzt. Und tadaaa, da ist meine Überarbeitung: ein Netzcollier mit passenden Ohrringen in rot und schwarz!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;So what to do with those beautiful red and black diamond faceted briolettes? Vertical netting came to my mind almost at once. I have a pattern that is very versatile and I used it for some other netted chokers/collars. It works perfectly and varying the number of beads and the colors it looks different any time. I kicked out the silver colored seedbeads used in the original, as they started to loose the silver color, and added black and red 11/0 seeds. I also used the earwires and the clasp, as the extender chain comes always handy in a design like that. And here it is: a netted collar and matching earrings in red and black!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2nchjzh7iQ/TqaMT_Z5txI/AAAAAAAAA0k/FtEsJc9qgHY/s1600/Do%2BOver%2BChallenge%2Bafter.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667371456157824786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 283px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2nchjzh7iQ/TqaMT_Z5txI/AAAAAAAAA0k/FtEsJc9qgHY/s320/Do%2BOver%2BChallenge%2Bafter.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und jetzt geht mit auf den Blog Hop und seht euch all die umgearbeiteten Stücke der anderen Ladies an!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And now don't miss the blog hop and meet all the wonderful talented ladies who were in this challenge, too!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jeannie, the wonderful organisator of this challenge!

Und da liegt es natürlich nahe, dass ich meine Eindrücke fürs Drawing Lab 2011 festgehalten habe. Diese Woche war wieder Students' Choice, also perfekt, um ein paar eigene Ideen umzusetzen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein Münchner Wahrzeichen ist die Bavaria-Statue, die vor der Ruhmeshalle steht und auf das Oktoberfest-Gelände auf der Theresienwiese hinunterblickt. Ich habe zuerst eine grobe Zeichnung gemacht und dann eine zweite mit mehr Details. Mir gefällt sie recht gut, obwohl ich immer noch Schwierigkeiten mit dem Zeichnen von Menschen habe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Last week I was in Munich at the "Wies'n" and when I came back I used some of my impressions for this week's Drawing Lab Students' Choice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of the famous spots in Munich is the Bavaria statue standing in front of the Bavarian Hall of Fame and looking over the Oktoberfest site called "Theresienwiese". First I did a raw sketch of the statue and then did a second, more detailed drawing. I like how she turned out, although I still have difficulties to draw human shapes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660130784213860962" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MFpzBlIyHKE/TozS9adSAmI/AAAAAAAAAz4/eXkzRv94rjw/s320/PICT6744.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am Tag nach der Wies'n waren wir dann brunchen und ich habe diese Haustüre gesehen, die mir recht gut gefallen hat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The second drawing shows a front door in a quarter of Munich where some friends and me had brunch on the last day of my trip.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0-IThf3O6So/TozS9DHqZpI/AAAAAAAAAzo/nh-2AssJV9E/s1600/Lab%2B40%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BFront%2BDoor%2Bin%2BMunich.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 250px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660130777949169298" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0-IThf3O6So/TozS9DHqZpI/AAAAAAAAAzo/nh-2AssJV9E/s320/Lab%2B40%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BFront%2BDoor%2Bin%2BMunich.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-7331548931482093647?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/7331548931482093647/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/wochenende-in-munchenweekend-in-munich.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7331548931482093647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7331548931482093647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/wochenende-in-munchenweekend-in-munich.html' title='Wochenende in München/Weekend in Munich'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MFpzBlIyHKE/TozS9adSAmI/AAAAAAAAAz4/eXkzRv94rjw/s72-c/PICT6744.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-5424485650845273414</id><published>2011-10-04T05:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-04T14:19:48.915-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perlen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leather'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beads'/><title type='text'>Joint Venture oder Talents United</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WCtatVM1w5w/TocyKYLizgI/AAAAAAAAAzY/VNVflKuYQlQ/s1600/Messer%2Bvon%2BRalf%2BKohlross%2B1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658546610685267458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WCtatVM1w5w/TocyKYLizgI/AAAAAAAAAzY/VNVflKuYQlQ/s320/Messer%2Bvon%2BRalf%2BKohlross%2B1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Vor einigen Wochen habe ich ein tolles Messer von einem sehr talentierten Messermacher bekommen. Der Griff ist aus einem Geweihstück gemacht. Am Griffende befindet sich ein sehr hübsches Detail, welches das Messer zu etwas wirklich besonderem macht: ein Adler, ausgesägt aus einer1-DM-Münze. &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some weeks ago I got a beautiful knife from a very talented craftsman. The handle is antler and at the end of the handle there is an eagle taken from the old 1-D-Mark-coin. The whole knife is special and one-of-a-kind, but the coin makes it even more special.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658546616879784882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zv1VBl9QuJM/TocyKvQbo7I/AAAAAAAAAzg/T521ny0SlGs/s320/Messer%2Bvon%2BRalf%2BKohlross%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;Natürlich musste ich für ein solches Messer auch eine besondere Messerscheide machen. Wunderschönes, dunkelbraunes Wildleder mit einem Innenleben aus Rindsleder und verziert mit Fransen und verschiedenen Glas-und Knochenperlen. Die Scheide sieht aus, als ob da ein RIESIGES Messer drin wäre, aber sie wirkt nur so groß durch die langen Fransen. Ich mag es wirklich, wenn sich verschiedene Talente zu so einem hübschen Endprodukt und Einzelstück vereinen.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;And of course I got to make a special sheath for it. Beautiful dark brown suede with an inlay of cowhide and decorated with fringe and various bone and glass beads.This one looks like there is a HUGE knife in it, but the knife is really small and only the fringe makes the sheath look so big. I really like it when various talents got together in such a beautiful OOAK piece.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658531347210809234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HOqLFpOKXh8/TockR7Tpr5I/AAAAAAAAAzQ/fbS0vIwhMTI/s320/Messerscheide%2Bf%25C3%25BCr%2BMesser%2BRalf%2BKohlross%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Messer/Knife: RK, Messerscheide/Knife Sheath: Kokopelli Design, 2011)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-5424485650845273414?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/5424485650845273414/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/joint-venture-oder-talents-united.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5424485650845273414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5424485650845273414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/10/joint-venture-oder-talents-united.html' title='Joint Venture oder Talents United'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WCtatVM1w5w/TocyKYLizgI/AAAAAAAAAzY/VNVflKuYQlQ/s72-c/Messer%2Bvon%2BRalf%2BKohlross%2B1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-6895757441966933659</id><published>2011-09-30T23:59:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-01T01:43:40.132-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zeichnen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><title type='text'>Zeit für ein Mandala/Mandala Time</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDkPVfIpBTk/TobRXlI8yII/AAAAAAAAAzI/T9JsmUTAjLc/s1600/Lab%2B36%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BBotanical%2BMandala.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658440184874453122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZDkPVfIpBTk/TobRXlI8yII/AAAAAAAAAzI/T9JsmUTAjLc/s320/Lab%2B36%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BBotanical%2BMandala.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bei einer der letzten Wahlaufgaben im Drawing Lab habe ich ein Mandala in fröhlichen Farben gezeichnet.

Für mich sahen sie erstmal aus wie die Sachen, die ich zum Beispiel während eines Telefongesprächs oder einer langweiligen Sitzung zeichne. Aber das es einen ganze "Zentangle-Bewegung" gibt, wurde mir erst nach und nach klar. Mir gefallen Zentangles vor allem deswegen, weil es nur eine Farbe gibt: schwarz. Dadurch sind die Werkzeuge relativ limitiert und der Fokus geht hin zur eigenen Kreativität. Weiterhin finde ich es unglaublich beruhigend und ein Zentangle zu zeichnen, hat fast etwas Meditatives. Auf &lt;a href="http://www.zentangle.com/"&gt;Zentangle.com&lt;/a&gt; gibt es noch jede Menge weitere Infos. Die dortige Beschreibung von Zentangle trifft es ziemlich genau:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;During my participation in Drawing Lab 2011 I stumbled upon the first zentangles, which seem to be a big hit lately, especially in the US. For me they looked like the things I draw while being on the phone or in a boring business meeting. But that there is a whole "zentangle movement" was new to me. I especially like that there is only one color: black. Due to that the tools are very limited and the focus shifted to you own creativity. Another point is that I find it very relaxing to draw a zentangle, almost like meditation. On &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zentangle.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Zentangle.com&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; are lots of infos listed and the description of zentangles really hits the nail on the head:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-4107923983964627930?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/4107923983964627930/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/zentangle.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4107923983964627930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4107923983964627930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/zentangle.html' title='Zentangle'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yYeaCpg2BTA/ToNBkMaDFBI/AAAAAAAAAy4/Bj9iYuwEYfk/s72-c/Lab%2B38%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BSmall%2BZentangle.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-3769530216308787334</id><published>2011-09-14T23:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T23:10:30.519-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='essen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fall'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herbst'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn'/><title type='text'>Schlehenlikör/Blackthorn Liqueur</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EncJ-j9ZeGg/TnGWqpfx1OI/AAAAAAAAAyw/d3EkAoosKgI/s1600/PICT6594.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652464666764498146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EncJ-j9ZeGg/TnGWqpfx1OI/AAAAAAAAAyw/d3EkAoosKgI/s320/PICT6594.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Was für eine Farbe! Sowas lässt mich immer meine Traurigkeit über das Ende des Sommers vergessen. Dann genieße ich den Herbst mit all seinen Farben so richtig und freue mich auf Äpfel, Holunder, Kastanien und natürlich die Schlehen. Leider war dieses Jahr ein schlechtes Schlehenjahr und es wird nur wenig Schlehenlikör geben. Aber dafür wird es bestimmt ein sehr guter Jahrgang. :-) Ich habe den Likör dieses Mal mit Schlehen, Zucker und Gin angesetzt und bin gespannt, wie er wird. Mein letzter Likörversuch mit Quitten war hervorragend und hoch geschätzt bei allen Verkostern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a color! Something like that always makes me happy and looking forward to fall with ist colors and I enjoy having all the apples, elderberries, chestnuts and of course the blackthorn berries. Sadly it was a bad blackthorn year and there will only be few blackthorn liqueur. But it will turn out very tasty I think. :-) This year I made the liqueur with blackthorn berries, sugar and gin and I can’t wait to taste it. My last liqueur was made with quinces and it was delicious and very popular amongst family and friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-3769530216308787334?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/3769530216308787334/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/schlehenlikorblackthorn-liqueur.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3769530216308787334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3769530216308787334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/schlehenlikorblackthorn-liqueur.html' title='Schlehenlikör/Blackthorn Liqueur'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EncJ-j9ZeGg/TnGWqpfx1OI/AAAAAAAAAyw/d3EkAoosKgI/s72-c/PICT6594.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-6125791153972092109</id><published>2011-09-11T11:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T13:21:41.102-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='papier'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gift card'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='karten'/><title type='text'>Grüße von Herzen/Greetings from the Heart</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8CsNb9_uvlk/Tmz_nJnCZjI/AAAAAAAAAyo/GEghcghzMJ8/s1600/PICT6560.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651172680502765106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8CsNb9_uvlk/Tmz_nJnCZjI/AAAAAAAAAyo/GEghcghzMJ8/s320/PICT6560.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noch ein paar handgemachte Karten.

Bei mir waren die Löwen los! Ich habe mir die erste Lektion als Students Choice ausgesucht und Katzen gezeichnet. Ok, große Katzen. Für die Inspiration habe ich mir ein paar Fotos angeschaut und die beiden sind herausgekommen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So what was up in Drawing Lab last week? I went back all the way to lesson 1 and drew some cats. Big cats. Lions. I used some photos for inspiration and drew a female and a male lion.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sie sieht aus wie die Königin von Afrika.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;She looks like the Queen of Africa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tHYR_lAGW1w/Tk0xUNVQltI/AAAAAAAAAyA/m0UO2WRK5MA/s1600/Lab%2B32%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BLioness.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642220131411072722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tHYR_lAGW1w/Tk0xUNVQltI/AAAAAAAAAyA/m0UO2WRK5MA/s320/Lab%2B32%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BLioness.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und er sieht eher wie Clarence der schielende Löwe aus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;And I think he is more a Clarence type of lion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gmu1mjtJwxQ/Tk0xT230qVI/AAAAAAAAAx4/Z8CnyRDrUO0/s1600/Lab%2B32%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BLion.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642220125382027602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gmu1mjtJwxQ/Tk0xT230qVI/AAAAAAAAAx4/Z8CnyRDrUO0/s320/Lab%2B32%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BLion.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Drawings by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-493524325010284635?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/493524325010284635/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/08/mama-und-papa-afrika.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/493524325010284635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/493524325010284635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/08/mama-und-papa-afrika.html' title='Mama und Papa Afrika'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tHYR_lAGW1w/Tk0xUNVQltI/AAAAAAAAAyA/m0UO2WRK5MA/s72-c/Lab%2B32%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BLioness.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-9049867515692292664</id><published>2011-08-16T10:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-16T14:08:22.712-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='artfire'/><title type='text'>Artfire ist Geschichte/Artfire is History</title><content type='html'>Mein Artfire-Shop ist Geschichte, da Artfire keine kostenlosen Studios mehr anbietet.

Diesmal ist es eine Brosche geworden mit einem schönen blauen schlafenden Mondgesicht. Ich finde, diese Farbkombination wirkt so richtig beruhigend. Und ich finde, er paßt toll in die &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/search/label/planetenserie"&gt;Planeten-Serie&lt;/a&gt;, zusammen mit seinem Bruder, dem &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/02/artfire-shop-herr-mondmister-moon.html"&gt;Vollmond&lt;/a&gt;. Also vergesst nicht, euren Vollmondwunsch zu wünschen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is full moon, but I though I'd show my newest bead creation: the New Moon. This time I made a brooch with a beautiful blue sleeping moon face cab. The color combo seems to be very calming.

Das war noch zu der Zeit, als meine Oma mir immer und immer wieder gesagt hat, daß ich nicht sticken, stricken und häkeln kann, einfach weil sie das meinte. Tja, vielleicht ist das ja der Grund, warum ich heute so kreativ bin. Nur um ihr zu zeigen, daß sie falsch lag. :-)&lt;br /&gt;Ich habe das Täschchen wie gesagt am Strand gehäkelt und als wir wieder zu Hause waren, hat meine Mutter es dan mit weißer Baumwolle gefüttert, damit nichts rausfallen kann. Ich trage darin meistens kleinere Stick- oder Häkelprojekte mit mir herum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;While going through my embroidery UFOs I found this little bag I once crocheted back when I was a teenager. It was the time when my grandma said that I couldn't do "female" crafts like embroidery, knitting or crochet. Simply because she thought so. Maybe that is the reason why I am this creative today. Simply to proove her wrong. :-)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I crocheted this bag during a summer vacation by the sea and back home my Mom lined it with white cotton to avoid things falling through the holes. I use it to carry around small crochet or embroidery projects.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-4832324761982648843?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/4832324761982648843/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/nostalgienostalgia.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4832324761982648843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4832324761982648843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/nostalgienostalgia.html' title='Nostalgie/Nostalgia'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1-Z8-AD3uZE/ThiUm_pLlyI/AAAAAAAAAwg/9U4sztLE3UE/s72-c/PICT6415.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-3302007085292497904</id><published>2011-07-04T14:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-05T02:06:46.813-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zeichnen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><title type='text'>Art Show Blog Hop</title><content type='html'>Ja, ich bin noch da und perle, zeichne, nähe und stricke! Aber das Leben oder besser gesagt ein neuer Job kam mir in die Quere. Und da reduziert sich halt die Blog-Zeit. Ich bin ein bißchen spät dran mit dem Blog Hop für das Drawing Lab 2011, aber da ich eh (leider) die einzige bin, die teilnimmt, ist das auch nicht schlimm. Ich weiß nicht, wo meine ganzen Mitzeichner hingekommen sind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes, I am still here, beading, drawing, sewing, knitting! But life got into my way or let's better say a new job. And this lead to limited blogging time. So I'm a bit late on posting the Art Show Blog Hop for Drawing Lab 2011, but.........I'm the only one in this blog hop, so it doesn't matter. I don't know where my fellow drawing students are. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier sind als meine Favoriten aus den letzten drei Monaten. Zuerst ein Thorshammer-Anhänger, den ich habe. Gut um das Schattieren zu üben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;So here are my favorite drawings from the last three months. First a drawing of a Thor's hammer pendant I have. Good for practice shading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-In0mhRrh7Ok/ThDlOw5jo7I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/FaPyBkNCJk4/s1600/PICT6259.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625247976392991666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-In0mhRrh7Ok/ThDlOw5jo7I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/FaPyBkNCJk4/s320/PICT6259.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zweitens ein Adlerkopf-Anhänger aus Horn. Es war faszinierend, wie ich alle Details abbilden konnte, nur durch regelmäßiges Üben.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second a drawing of an eagle head pendant, carved from bone. It was amazing how I was able to draw all the details in the feathers, simply by practicing every week.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-on7Pg1GzH_w/ThDlOodEYpI/AAAAAAAAAwI/qQNqCgkr-fc/s1600/PICT6260.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625247974126019218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-on7Pg1GzH_w/ThDlOodEYpI/AAAAAAAAAwI/qQNqCgkr-fc/s320/PICT6260.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein Pferd habe ich schon ewig nicht mehr gezeichnet, das letzte Mal als ich noch in der Schule war. Und ich liebe Pferde immer noch, auch wenn ich sie nicht mehr jeden Tag um mich habe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I didn't draw a horse in ages. I did back when I was in school. And I'm still drawn to the elegance and beauty of horses, although they're no longer around me every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JbkS7WOWoAE/ThDlOW0wjsI/AAAAAAAAAwA/c5a2RWhXnxY/s1600/PICT6377.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625247969393544898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JbkS7WOWoAE/ThDlOW0wjsI/AAAAAAAAAwA/c5a2RWhXnxY/s320/PICT6377.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Und hier sind zwei Fantasiegestalten. Den Drachen habe ich als Student's Choice gezeichnet und den Zentaur in einer Übung, in der wir Fantasiegestalten zeichnen sollten. Der chinesische Buchstabe bedeutet Drache (soweit ich weiß). Ich mag besonders die Flügelschattierung.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;And here are two fantasy creatures. The dragon was a student's choice right after we had to draw fantasy creatures and the centaur I drew for this certain assignment. The Chinese letter menas dragon (as far as I know). I especially love the shading of the wings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625787984345284642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jvn5k52uzqM/ThLQXXSPwCI/AAAAAAAAAwY/CPdyUk5r0Yg/s320/Lab%2B22%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BChinese%2BDragon.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bei dem Zentaur finde ich es gut, wie ich menschliche und tierisch Körperteile zusammenfügen konnte und sie einigermaßen nach was aussehen. Die Übungen in den letzten Woche waren sehr hilfreich dafür, besonders im Bezug auf meinen Schwachpunkt: Menschen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;In the centaur drawing I especially like how I was able to draw human features and add them to an animal body and both look good together. The lessons during the three months, especially the drawings of hands and faces, were perfect for pratising my weak spot: humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6taBH_Mnu4Q/ThDlNMaoJ8I/AAAAAAAAAvw/vevW9y6bhMM/s1600/Lab%2B21%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BFantasy%2BCreatures%2B3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625247949419718594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6taBH_Mnu4Q/ThDlNMaoJ8I/AAAAAAAAAvw/vevW9y6bhMM/s320/Lab%2B21%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BFantasy%2BCreatures%2B3.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;All drawings by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-3302007085292497904?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/3302007085292497904/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/art-show-blog-hop.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3302007085292497904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3302007085292497904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/art-show-blog-hop.html' title='Art Show Blog Hop'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-In0mhRrh7Ok/ThDlOw5jo7I/AAAAAAAAAwQ/FaPyBkNCJk4/s72-c/PICT6259.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-3674649316813420098</id><published>2011-06-04T01:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-04T01:42:28.414-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kräuter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='herbs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natur'/><title type='text'>Matricaria chamomilla</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Die letzten Tage und Wochen waren sehr aufregend, in guter wie in schlechter Hinsicht, aber im Nachhinein betrachtet waren diese Tage es allemal wert, durchlebt zu werden, weil am Ende so viele Leute mit mir zusammen lächeln (oder aus vollem Herzen lachen!) konnten. Dafür ein Dankeschön an alle, die diesen Weg mit mir zurückgelegt haben!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The last days and weeks have been very exciting, in good and bad ways, and looking back I think it was worth it going through these days, because in the end so many people were smiling (or laughing out loud!) with me. Thank you for every little smile as it made me smile back!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614280538852530962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zB8DXqbzBLQ/TenuZ4OxmxI/AAAAAAAAAvg/PgSYmtzi2eQ/s320/442px-Matricaria_February_2008-1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Und was könnte es schöneres zur Beruhigung geben als über eines meiner Lieblingskräuter zu schreiben: Kamille. Die Kamille ist ein sehr altes Heilkraut und wächst in ganz Europa, aber auch in Amerika und Australien. Die Anwendungen sind sehr vielseitig: Kamille wirkt gegen Baktierien und Entzündungen, gegen Magenbeschwerden und als sanftes Beruhigungsmittel und ist ebenfalls in vielen Kosmetika zu finden. Ein Aufguß mit heißem Wasser ergibt einen schmackhaften Abendtee, besonders wenn er noch mit Pfefferminze gemischt wird, oder kann als Spülung für blondes Haar, eine Gesichtsreinigung oder als Färbemittel für Stoff verwendet werden. In den letzten drei Jahren hatte ich das Glück, daß ich ein riesiges Kamillevorkommen praktisch direkt vor der Haustür hatte und so meinen Jahresbedarf für Tees etc. selbst decken konnte. Selbstverständlich nehme ich immer nur so viel, wie ich in einem Jahr verbrauche, was eigentlich jeder tun sollte und was für mich einen respektvollen Umgang mit den Geschenken der Natur bedeutet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;So what’s better to calm down than writing about one of my favorite herbs: chamomile. Chamomile is a very old medicinal herb and grows all over Europe and also in the US and Australia. It is used in many ways: it is bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, helps against gastric and sleep disorders and is an ingredient of many cosmetics. An infusion with hot water gives a tasty evening tea, even better with some peppermint mixed in, or can be used as a rinse for blonde hair, a facial treatment or for dyeing fabrics in a warm yellow color.&lt;br /&gt;For the last three years I was in the lucky situation of having a huge supply of chamomile almost in front of my door, so I can pick what I need for making my herb teas and everything. No need to buy it. Of course I only took as much as I need during one year, which is what everyone should do and which is a respectful way of dealing with nature’s gifts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614281699101177314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VDTMSOgoIMY/Tenvdafm9eI/AAAAAAAAAvo/tcYQ9GOPVi8/s320/PICT6327.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-3674649316813420098?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/3674649316813420098/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/06/matricaria-chamomilla.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3674649316813420098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3674649316813420098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/06/matricaria-chamomilla.html' title='Matricaria chamomilla'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zB8DXqbzBLQ/TenuZ4OxmxI/AAAAAAAAAvg/PgSYmtzi2eQ/s72-c/442px-Matricaria_February_2008-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-7222458650944629375</id><published>2011-05-31T23:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-01T08:12:59.123-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perlensticken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='giveaway'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bead embroidery'/><title type='text'>And the winner is........</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2h-bFjhX07w/TeZURafNbSI/AAAAAAAAAvU/w8gBEzVsP4E/s1600/PICT6322.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5613266643708636450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2h-bFjhX07w/TeZURafNbSI/AAAAAAAAAvU/w8gBEzVsP4E/s320/PICT6322.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;....Lori from &lt;a href="http://www.prettythingsblog.com/"&gt;Pretty Things&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Congratulations!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Would you please contact me with your address and tell me which pendant you'd like?

Aber &lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog"&gt;Jeannie&lt;/a&gt; hat mir versichert, daß es im September wieder eine Do-Over-Challenge geben wird, an der ich dann teilnehmen kann. Ich habe dann einfach mal bei meinen Schmuckstücken nachgesehen, was auf diese Challenge passen könnte und habe diese Korallenkette meiner Oma gefunden. Eigentlich habe ich sie nur neu aufgefädelt und einen hochwertigen Verschluß dran gemacht und nicht überarbeitet. Von meiner Mutter habe ich dann noch einen wunderschönen Korallenring bekommen, so daß ich jetzt ein komplettes Set habe, das ich sehr gerne trage.&lt;br /&gt;Und hier ist noch die Blog-Liste der anderen Teilnehmer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sadly I never received the old jewelry pieces for the challenge, as the postal service accidentally sent my package to the UK. But &lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog"&gt;Jeannie&lt;/a&gt; reassured me that there will be another Do Over Challenge in September. So what do I have to offer that qualifies as a do over? I looked through my pieces and found this coral necklace from my grandma. It is very old and I hesitated to wear it, because the string was very thin and almost broken. So I restrung it on high-quality jewelry wire and added a goldplated sterling silver clasp. When my Mom saw the necklace she gave me an old coral ring and now I have a complete set that I wear very often.&lt;br /&gt;And here’s the blog list of the other participants:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Sally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wireworked.com/" target="_blank"

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gestern war das zweite Treffen des &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/chainmaille-abenteuerchainmaille.html"&gt;Jugendprojektes&lt;/a&gt;, bei dem ich ehrenamtlich mitarbeite. Diesmal waren die Teilnehmer zur Hälfte Kinder und zur Hälfte Erwachsene, aber ich denke, daß jeder Spaß hatte, zu lernen wie man Chainmaille-Ketten macht. Gestern haben wir uns alle an Double-Chain-Armbändern versucht und zwar mit 6mm-Ringen, die das Armband luftig und zart wirken lassen. Das Armband oben habe ich während des Treffens gemacht. Zu Hause habe ich dann noch 6/0-Rocailles hinzugefügt, die sich frei in den großen Ringen bewegen. Das Armband unten hat ein Mädchen gemacht und sie hat einen Wildlederstreifen durch die Ringe geflochten. Ich finde es super, wie das Armband zu ihren Nägeln paßt. Coooool!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609228008391986450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CxLUI4gY3OI/Tdf7J5hgTRI/AAAAAAAAAvE/TXwT_C9QW7E/s320/0536347db3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday was the second meeting of the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/chainmaille-abenteuerchainmaille.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;youth project I volunteered&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; for. This time there were half children and half adults, but I think everyone had fun learning how to do chainmaille. We all made bracelets like in the picture above. It is a Double Chain with 6mm ID rings, which give the bracelet an airy, dainty appearance. The bracelet above is my own I made during the meeting and I added some 6/0 seedbeads which move freely on the big rings. The bracelet below was made by a girl and she wove a strip of dark brown suede through the rings. I especially like how the bracelet matches her nails.

Ich war ein bißchen deprimiert, daß mein Perlenstickkurs abgesagt wurde, weil sich nur eine Person angemeldet hat. Es ist traurig, wenn man sich auf die Kurse vorbereitet, um dann herauszufinden, daß kein Interesse besteht. Aber die Vorbereitungen haben auch ihre guten Seiten. Ich habe einen tollen, neuen Stickgrund gefunden, habe Erfahrungen damit gesammelt und das Beste daran: ein Giveaway für meine Blog-Leser! Ihr könnt einen der abgebildeten Anhänger gewinnen: "Sonnenuntergang" (rechts) oder "Ganz in Grün" (links). Der Gewinner darf sich einen aussuchen. Die Anhänger sind (natürlich!) von mir handgestickt und kommen auf &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/test-nicoles-bead-backing.html"&gt;Nicole’s Bead Backing&lt;/a&gt; daher, was sie besonders haltbar macht. Um teilzunehmen, müßt ihr Leser meines Blogs sein. Hinterlaßt einen Kommentar und ich werfe euren Namen einmal in den Hut. Für einen Post auf FB, Twitter oder eurem Blog gibt es eine zweite Gewinnchance. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Der Gewinner wird am 30. Mai 2011 bekannt gegeben!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is again giveaway time on Kokopelli Design! I was a bit depressed by the fact that my bead embroidery classes were cancelled due to the fact that only one person signed up. It is sad when I prepare for the classes just to find out that there’s no interest. But preparing this class also had its good sides, as I found a great new embroidery background and made my experiences with it. Which brought me further and increased my skills. And the best of all: it brings you a new give away with the chance to win one of the pendants I made for this class! The pendants are (ofc!) handmade by me and are stitched on the fabulous &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/test-nicoles-bead-backing.html"&gt;Nicole’s Bead Backing&lt;/a&gt;, which makes them durable and stiff. Soooooooo I’ll pick one winner who can choose from those two pendants: "Sunset" (right) or "All Green" (left). You got to be a member of my blog to enter. Leave a comment and I put your name in the hat once. Post on your blog, FB, Twitter or whatever and I put your name in for a second chance to win.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Winner will be posted on May 30th 2011!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;(Photo and designs by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-2780619787103235609?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2780619787103235609/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/giveaway.html#comment-form' title='7 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2780619787103235609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2780619787103235609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/giveaway.html' title='GIVEAWAY!!!!'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oMJwPi77se0/TdPubkm1BhI/AAAAAAAAAu0/z7H1Jr1fxjY/s72-c/PICT6322.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-2613376967329733328</id><published>2011-05-15T02:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-15T14:39:17.224-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kupfer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='draht'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chainmaille'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='copper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wire'/><title type='text'>Helm Chain</title><content type='html'>Ich habe gemerkt, daß ich euch noch gar nicht alle Chainmaille-Stücke gezeigt habe, die ich in letzter Zeit für meine Kurse gemacht habe. Gestern habe ich bereits ein Bild von einem Double-Chain-Armband mit einem großen roten Kristall gezeigt, daß ich in letzter Zeit besonders gern trage. Einfach, aber besonders schön. Eines der Mädchen aus meinem Kurs hat mich sogar gefragt, ob ich es ihr schenke. Leider mußte ich nein sagen und da hat sie sich einfach selbst eins gemacht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I realized that I made so many show pieces for my chainmaille class and didn't show you all of them. In yesterday's post there already was the Double Chain bracelet, embellished with a fat red crystal, which is one of my favs to wear lately, as it is so simple but oh so stunning with that silver and sparkling red. One of the girls from Friday's class even asked me if she can have the bracelet. I got to say no and so she made one herself. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606874801767127026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zYICtpl8K0I/Tc-e7PtrF_I/AAAAAAAAAus/KB1DnGHiNV8/s320/PICT6313.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Und hier ist ein weiteres neues Armband: Helm Chain. Es war der erste Versuch mit Helm Chain und ich muß sagen, das Muster gefällt mir sehr gut. Helm Chain wird mit zwei verschiedenen Ringgrößen gemacht und ich habe mich für 6 und 3 mm entschieden. Und natürlich für eine meiner handgemacht Verschlüsse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here's another bracelet I made recently: Helm Chain. It was my first try on Helm Chain and I really like the outcome. Helm Chain is made with two different ring sizes and I chose to go with 6 and 3mm. And of course added one of my handmade clasps.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Photos and chainmaille by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-2613376967329733328?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/2613376967329733328/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/helm-chain.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2613376967329733328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/2613376967329733328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/helm-chain.html' title='Helm Chain'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zYICtpl8K0I/Tc-e7PtrF_I/AAAAAAAAAus/KB1DnGHiNV8/s72-c/PICT6313.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-4338578928422147110</id><published>2011-05-14T02:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T03:32:25.877-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='draht'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chainmaille'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wire'/><title type='text'>Chainmaille-Abenteuer/Chainmaille Adventure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gp-lXJ8Q9RU/Tc5S1pX3hEI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eSeb6C5Ssvo/s1600/PICT6310.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606509667715351618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gp-lXJ8Q9RU/Tc5S1pX3hEI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eSeb6C5Ssvo/s320/PICT6310.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ich habe mich vor kurzem freiwillig für ein Jugendprojekt gemeldet, bei dem Kinder und Jugendlichen ihre handwerklichen Fähigkeiten ausbilden und kreativ werden können, ohne Kosten für sie oder ihre Eltern. Die Hauptidee dahinter ist, daß niemand ausgeschlossen wird und jeder die Möglichkeit hat teilzunehmen und alte Handwerkstraditionen, wie z.B. Weben, Holz- oder Metallarbeiten, kennezulernen. Ich war bis zum Schluß nicht sicher, ob ich das machen soll, denn ich hatte von anderen Freiwilligen gehört, daß die meisten Kinder nicht wirklich dort sein wollen und ziemlich gelangweilt sind. Aber irgendwie habe ich gezögert abzusagen. Was wirklich eine gute Entscheidung war! Gestern habe ich dann einen schönen Nachmittag mit einer Gruppe Kinder, Jugendlicher und Eltern verbracht und habe ihnen gezeigt, wie Chainmaille gemacht wird. Wir haben zusammen den ganzen Prozess kennengelernt, von einem Stück Draht über das Wickeln und Schneiden der Ringe bis hin zum fertigen Projekt. Ich habe zwei einfache Muster zum Aussuchen mitgebracht: Double Chain (Armband im Bild oben) und European 4-in-1 (im Bild unten), das klassische Muster für Kettenhemden und -panzer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I volunteered in a youth project lately where kids can come to and spent their free time creatively and with no costs for them or their parents. So no one is left outside, which is the main idea behind it. The project is all about old crafts like weaving, woodcrafts or metalworks and the kids are able to develop their crafting skills and find out what they like. I really wasn't sure if I should do that and I was about to say no and back out. I heard in the beginning from the other volunteers, that most of the kids are bored and don't really want to be there. But somehow I hesitated to take my hat. Which was definitely the better choice! Yesterday I met a wonderful group of kids, teenagers and parents and we spent an afternoon learning how to do chainmaille. We went all the way from a piece of wire over coiling and cutting the rings to a finished piece. I brought to easy patterns with me for people to choose from: Double Chain, like it can be seen in the bracelet pictured above, and European 4-in-1 (see pic below), the classic weave for chainmaille shirts and armor.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606510512625418482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DLZiFJT9pco/Tc5Tm06IAPI/AAAAAAAAAuk/uutL1YwjW80/s320/PICT6318.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Die meisten der Teilnehmer haben den "einfachen" Weg gewählt und haben sich für Double Chain und ein Armband entschieden. Ein Junge hat die Hälfte seiner Kette mit Ringen hergestellt und dann, für mehr Tragekomfort, die andere Hälfte durch einen Streifen Wildleder ersetzt. Er hat sogar einen Verschluss gebastelt, ohne daß ich es ihm gezeigt hätte! Eine junge Dame hat durch ihr fertiges Armband einen dünne Streifen Wildleder gewoben, was super aussah. Aber einen gab es, der sich tapfer durch sein Projekt gekämpft hat. Er wollte unbedingt ein Kettenhemd für sich machen (oder zumndest ein Stück :-)). Er war erst neun Jahre alt und kam ab und zu zu mir, um mich zu fragen, ob ich ihm das Kettengewebe wieder flach auf den Tisch legen könnte (was der eigentlich kompliziert Teil bei 4-in-1 ist). Und dann hat er die nächsten Ringe drangebastelt. Mit ein bißchen Hilfe konnte er am Ende ein kleines Stück European 4-in-1 mit nach Hause nehmen. Tolles Kind!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Most of the participants chose to go the "easy" way and try their hand on Double Chain to make a bracelet. They did a great job. One boy finished half of necklace and added a length of black suede for the other half to add comfort in wearing it. He also made a hook and eye clasp without me showing him! A young lady finished her Double Chain bracelet with a thin strip of suede woven through the rings. But then there was this boy who decided to make himself a chainmaille shirt (or at least a piece of it :-)). He was only nine years old, but he was working two hours on it, coming to me now and then asking me if I can lay the sheet flat on the table for him (which is the tricky part in 4-in1), and then he added the next rings. With some help he was able to finish a small sheet of European 4-in-1. How cool is that? Great kid!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(All photos and chainmaille pieces by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-4338578928422147110?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/4338578928422147110/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/chainmaille-abenteuerchainmaille.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4338578928422147110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4338578928422147110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/chainmaille-abenteuerchainmaille.html' title='Chainmaille-Abenteuer/Chainmaille Adventure'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Gp-lXJ8Q9RU/Tc5S1pX3hEI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eSeb6C5Ssvo/s72-c/PICT6310.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-5832756056364312412</id><published>2011-05-11T06:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T09:37:58.296-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='celtic design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zeichnen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><title type='text'>Kunst der Kelten und Wikinger: Teil 1/Celtic and Viking Art: Part !</title><content type='html'>Manche wissen vielleicht, daß ich neben indianischer Kunst (vor allem Perlenkunst) auch die Kunst der Kelten und Wikinger liebe. Es gibt viele Bücher auf dem Markt, aber ich mag vor allem die praktisch ausgerichteten Bücher von Aidan Meehan, die nicht nur historische Fakten bieten, sondern auch praktische Tips für das Entwerfen eigener Design geben. In letzter Zeit zeichne ich sehr viel, auch bedingt durch meine Teilnahme am &lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2010/12/13/drawing-lab-2011-52-weeks/"&gt;Drawing Lab 2011&lt;/a&gt;, und entwerfe vermehrt Sachen, die nicht unbedingt in ein Projekt einfließen, aber auch auf dem Papier gut aussehen. Hier sind zwei Messerscheiden-Entwürfe nach historischen Originalen aus Irland und Schweden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some of you already know that I love, besides Native American Art (and here especially beadwork), the art and designs of the Celts and Vikings. There are lots of books on the market, but I mostly rely on the ones of Aidan Meehan, as they not only have historic background, but also beautiful designs and clear tips for making your own designs. Lately, since my &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2010/12/13/drawing-lab-2011-52-weeks/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Drawing Lab 2011&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; adventure started, I draw a lot of designs, which not necessarily end in a finished project, but also look nice on paper. Here are two knife sheath designs after historic originals found in Ireland and Sweden.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605494627948213282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iJuJAGdpCn8/Tcq3qjk2tCI/AAAAAAAAAuM/gIfxefEzAyY/s320/Messerscheide%2BBroa%2BGreif.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der erste Entwurf ist ein Design, daß unter dem Namen Broa-Greif bekannt ist. Der Broa-Greif ist Teil eines Zaumzeugbeschlages aus vergoldeter Bronze und wurde in Gotland (Schweden) gefunden. Ich habe das Design gespiegelt und einige Verbindungen hinzugefügt, damit die beiden Greife als eine Figur erscheinen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The first is a a historic design known as the griffin of Broa, which was found in Gotland (Sweden) as a part of a bridle embellishment made from gilded bronze. I took the design, mirrored it and added the connections so that the two griffins appear as one figure.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605494632835644018" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MC5_ScFN6Xw/Tcq3q1yG-nI/AAAAAAAAAuU/YwKFH1FIRRY/s320/Messerscheide%2BTuam%2BGreifsmaske.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der zweite Entwurf zeigt eine Greifsmaske aus der Stadt Tuam (Galway, Irland), die aus dem 12. Jhd. stammt. Ich mag die Asymmetrie in diesem Stück. Das Knotendesign habe ich hinzugefügt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The second one is a griffin mask from the 12th century, which can be found in the city of Tuam (Galway, Ireland). I like the asymmetry in this one. I added the knot on top of the mask to complete the design.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-5832756056364312412?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/5832756056364312412/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/kunst-der-kelten-und-wikinger-teil.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5832756056364312412'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/5832756056364312412'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/kunst-der-kelten-und-wikinger-teil.html' title='Kunst der Kelten und Wikinger: Teil 1/Celtic and Viking Art: Part !'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iJuJAGdpCn8/Tcq3qjk2tCI/AAAAAAAAAuM/gIfxefEzAyY/s72-c/Messerscheide%2BBroa%2BGreif.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-7221693499871291396</id><published>2011-05-10T06:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-10T13:33:13.042-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zeichnen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><title type='text'>Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 19/Week 19</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m9MxV3tOXhU/Tcmf-My6fiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/Bblh0-EVuTA/s1600/PICT6260.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605187102174772770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m9MxV3tOXhU/Tcmf-My6fiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/Bblh0-EVuTA/s320/PICT6260.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diese Woche durften wir uns aussuchen, was wir zeichnen wollten. Ich habe mich entschieden, ein bißchen zu üben, wie man richtig schattiert. Ich zeichne besonders gerne mit Bleistift und ich denke, da ist das Schattieren besonders wichtig, damit die Zeichnungen auch plastisch und lebendig wirken. Das erste Objekt, das ich mir ausgesucht habe, ist ein aus Knochen geschnitzt Adlerkopf-Anhänger. Bei den Federn konnte ich mich dann richtig austoben, was das Schattieren angeht. Ich habe das Original beim zweiten Bild mitfotografiert, damit man vergleichen kann.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week was students' choice and I decided to practice a bit on my shading, as this seems to be the thing I should do. I like drawing with pencil more than any other technique and feel like a good shading might help to make the drawings come alive. The first object I chose was a carved eagle head pendant made from bone. The feathers gave me enough possibilities to try shading techniques. I added the original within the second photo for comparison.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605187110773600834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6Su_X-jiQIc/Tcmf-s1CMkI/AAAAAAAAAuE/JPUNcIys_RQ/s320/PICT6265.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-7221693499871291396?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/7221693499871291396/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/drawing-lab-2011-woche-19week-19.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7221693499871291396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7221693499871291396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/drawing-lab-2011-woche-19week-19.html' title='Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 19/Week 19'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m9MxV3tOXhU/Tcmf-My6fiI/AAAAAAAAAt8/Bblh0-EVuTA/s72-c/PICT6260.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-5710126461638184286</id><published>2011-05-08T09:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-08T09:11:28.294-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bogenschießen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perlensticken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='archery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bead embroidery'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leather'/><title type='text'>Endlich: Rückenköcher/Finally: Back Quiver</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;Es war ein langer Weg vom Plan, mir selbst einen Rückenköcher zu basteln, bis hin zur Fertigstellung und natürlich der Veröffentlichung auf meinem Blog.

Die Feder ist von einem Raben und ich habe 11/0-Rocailles für die Stickereien verwendet, weiterhin auch ein paar Tin Cones und Knochenperlen von &lt;a href="http://beadwright.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nicole&lt;/a&gt; (Du hast ein Lächeln auf mein Gesicht gezaubert mit den wunderschönen Perlen so bist du beim ,,Jagen" jetzt immer dabei!). Geschnürt wurde er mit 2mm-Lederkordel und die Bärentatzen und der Grizzly wurden ins Leder eingebrannt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The quiver is made from cowhide and embellisehd with white rabbit fur. The feather is from a raven and I used 11/0 seedbeads for the beadwork, also some tin cones and bone bead from &lt;a href="http://beadwright.blogspot.com/"&gt;Nicole&lt;/a&gt; (You made me smile with those beautiful beads and now you're always with me while "hunting"!). I tied the quiver with 2mm leather cord and the bear paws and the grizzly are burnt into the leather.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Da machen mich schon die Farben glücklich. Vor einer Weile habe ich mir eine &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/nicoles-bead-backing.html"&gt;komplette Farbpalette&lt;/a&gt; davon zugelegt, auch in Vorbereitung auf den Kurs, und habe nun das erste Stück gestickt (das zweite ist in Arbeit). Und ich muß sagen: WOW! Das Material, ein sehr fester und formstabiler Filz, ist toll. Zuerst war ich ein bißchen von der Festigkeit des Materials irritiert und mein Faden hat sich ständig verheddert. Aber inzwischen bin ich restlos davon überzeugt. Es hält seine Form super, die Stücke werden stabil, man kann ganz einfach mit der Nadel durchstechen und es ist auch angenehm auf der Haut zu tragen, was ja wichtig ist bei Schmuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sadly my bead embroidery classes are cancelled, as only one person signed up. :-( But I thought I'd share my experiences with Nicole's Bead Backing by Nicole Campanella (aka &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://beadwright.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beadwright&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;) with you all. Those colors make me happy. Some time ago I bought myself a &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/nicoles-bead-backing.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;whole color palette&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; of it, also to prepare the beading class, and now I finished the first piece (the second is in progress). And I have to say: WOW! The material is a kind of stiff felt, keeping its shape very good and I love it. First my thread got tangled again and again and I was a bit irritated by the stiffness of the material, but now I'm convinced completely. It keeps its shape perfectly, the pieces are very stable, the needle goes through easily and it is comfortable to wear, even against the skin, which is important for jewelry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604220865970570562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UkJPMUUC8xE/TcYxL2cCBUI/AAAAAAAAAsk/o8_TF5SQk2c/s320/PICT6269.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Das ist der erste Anhänger, den ich gemacht habe und ein zweiter ist in Arbeit. Sobald der fertig ist, gibt es wieder mal einen Giveaway auf Kokopelli Design! Also haltet die Augen offen. Wenn ihr auch Perlensticker oder einfach neugierig geworden seid, dann könnt ihr Nicole's Bead Backing &lt;a href="http://beadwright.atsy.com/"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; bestellen. Ihr könnt Nicole auch direkt kontaktieren und sie nach einzelnen Farben fragen. Sagt ihr dann einen Gruß von mir! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;That's the first pendant I made and a second one is in progress. Once it is finished I'll finally have another giveaway on Kokopelli Design! So check back. If you're also a bead embroiderer or simply curious, you can order Nicole's Bead Backing &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://beadwright.etsy.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;. You can also contact Nicole directly and ask for single colors.

Ich habe sowas noch nie gemacht und war neugierig, whon mich diese Aufgabe bringen würde. Beim Anblick des farbigen Papiers in meinem Fundus kam mir diese Idee über die Zerbrechlichkeit von Freiheit. Ohne Freiheit sind wir wie Vögel ohne Flügel. Was bedeutet Freiheit für euch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week was about creating art journal pages. I never created one before, so I was curious where this assignment would take me. I fell in love with some colored paper in my stash and had this idea of creating a page about the fragility of freedom. Without freedom we are like birds without wings. What does freedom mean for you?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Photo and design by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-786633956085057564?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/786633956085057564/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/drawing-lab-2011-woche-17week-17.html#comment-form' title='2 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/786633956085057564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/786633956085057564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/drawing-lab-2011-woche-17week-17.html' title='Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 17/Week 17'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SZ6CklcG2os/Tb7HQN8v8mI/AAAAAAAAAr8/mCXaIzX0dCo/s72-c/PICT6246.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-4702161227969434264</id><published>2011-04-30T15:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-30T16:14:09.021-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><title type='text'>Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 16/Week 16</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak5ESd2Wj6s/TbyVXbg95tI/AAAAAAAAArs/2wO4BA_4zQQ/s1600/PICT6217.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601516266297616082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak5ESd2Wj6s/TbyVXbg95tI/AAAAAAAAArs/2wO4BA_4zQQ/s320/PICT6217.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich weiß nicht, ob ich wirklich Spaß mit der Zeichenübung von dieser Woche hatte, aber interessant war sie auf jeden Fall. Wir sollten uns ein Objekt aussuchen und es dann zwischen 20 und 100 mal skizzieren. Ich habe einen Satz in der Anleitung überlesen, woraus dieser &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/die-berliner-luftbruckethe-berlin.html"&gt;Post&lt;/a&gt; entstand. Ich hoffe, ihr habt ein paar Minuten zum Lesen. Ich habe es zumindest genossen, ihn zu schreiben, trotz des Lesefehlers. Ich habe mich dann für eine Büroklammer entschieden und hier sind einige meiner Zeichnungen. Ich glaube, wenn man zu lange auf eine Bürklammer starrt, dann wird wird einem irgendwann schwindelig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fBSArxqE6tU/TbyVXc92-lI/AAAAAAAAArk/iYkjXUI4Ml0/s1600/PICT6224.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601516266687232594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fBSArxqE6tU/TbyVXc92-lI/AAAAAAAAArk/iYkjXUI4Ml0/s320/PICT6224.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; I don't know if I had fun with this exercise, but it was interesting for sure.

I enjoyed this mistake. Yeah, really, as it led to a great post. Then I chose to take a paperclip and draw that relatively simple object. Here are several of my sketches.

Die Natur scheint zu explodieren und ich renne hier wie verrückt mit dem Fotoapparat durch die Gegend. Obwohl es sehr trocken ist und wir uns hier alle schon fragen, wann wir für das schöne Frühlingswetter bezahlen müssen, blüht und wächst draußen alles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;OK, another nature-related post today. Nature seems to explode atm and I run around like crazy with my camera. Although it is extremely dry for this time of the year and we're already wondering when we have to pay for that beautiful spring weather, nature blooms and grows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q5izzOiL7uI/TbKvFgnhUWI/AAAAAAAAAq8/FPZ1C1Wku80/s1600/PICT6202.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zuerst einige der Kaulquappen, die die Kröten im Teich meiner Eltern hinterlassen haben. Auch eine geschütze Art in Deutschland. Es sind Hunderte und dank des warmen Wetters wachsen sie unglaublich schnell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;First some pollywogs left by the toads coming to my parents' pond. Also a protected species in Germany. There are hundreds of them and due to the warm weather they grow like weed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598728155853237506" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W4rZ-XWZp00/TbKtmCucLQI/AAAAAAAAAq0/6CgQJw0Jpn4/s320/PICT6194.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dann die erste große Libelle, die dieses Jahr geschlüpft ist: ein Weibchen des Blaupfeils (Orthetrum cancellatum). Als ich sie gesehen habe, flog sie noch sehr langsam, weil ihre Flügel noch nicht ganz ausgehärtet waren. Normalerweise fliegen sie pfeilschnell. Schaut euch das Netzmuster auf den Flügeln an!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Then the first dragonfly that eclosed this year: a female Black-tailed Skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum). I noticed it flying slowly which means for that species that it is not fully dried after eclosing and can't use its wings properly. Once they are fully dried the are fast like arrows.

Das Foto zeigt ein Wespennest am Gartenhaus meiner Eltern. Die Königin beginnt gerade mit dem Bau der vierten Schicht (die kann man oben an der Decke über dem Nest schon erkennen). Könnt ihr die verschiedenen Farben des Papierbreis sehen, den sie zum Nestbau verwendet hat? Je nachdem, wo sie das Holz herholt, variieren die Farben. Wespen und Hornissen sind in Deutschland geschützt und da meine Familie sich sehr für die Natur interessiert, bleibt das Nest erstmal dort, wo es ist, solange es nicht gefährlich wird. Im Moment stören die Tierchen (oder besser gesagt ,,das Tierchen") niemanden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have a very special Easter egg for you. This is a wasp/yellowjacket nest hanging from the ceiling of my parents' garden hut. This has about the size of a chicken egg and the queen is now working on the fourth layer (you can see the edge around the nest's top on the ceilling). Can you see the different colors of the paper clay she used for building the layers? Depending on where she gets the wood from the colors change. Yellowjackets and hornets are protected in Germany and my family is very interested in all nature-related things, so we leave the nest as it is, unless it gets too dangerous. But so far they (or better "she") do not hurt or disturb anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Photo by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-4016229807645505821?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/4016229807645505821/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/frohe-ossssssternhappy-easssssster.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4016229807645505821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/4016229807645505821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/frohe-ossssssternhappy-easssssster.html' title='Frohe Osssssstern!/Happy Easssssster!'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JhZWzwUTBiA/TbKfW339e9I/AAAAAAAAAqk/Z_j0ep1SlSI/s72-c/PICT6185.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-8898031851411672216</id><published>2011-04-22T00:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-22T00:29:57.789-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='history'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='geschichte'/><title type='text'>Die Berliner Luftbrücke/The Berlin Airlift</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTVER6R-ieY/TbEpaPV9CPI/AAAAAAAAAqU/EHVbeG2nS8Q/s1600/Luftbrueckendenkmal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598301342570186994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 233px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eTVER6R-ieY/TbEpaPV9CPI/AAAAAAAAAqU/EHVbeG2nS8Q/s320/Luftbrueckendenkmal.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diesen Post verdankt ihr einem Fehler, den ich während der letzten Aufgabenstellung vom Drawing Lab 2011 gemacht habe. Mein Objekt für die Sketch X Twenty-Aufgabe war das &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftbr%C3%BCckendenkmal"&gt;Berliner Luftbrückendenkmal&lt;/a&gt; von Eduard Ludwig (1906-1960), bis ich gelesen habe, daß man das Objekt „live“ sehen können muss. OK, ich habe eines der Denkmäler schon mal in echt gesehen, aber ich wohne nicht nah genug dran, um hingehen zu können und meine Zeichnungen dort zu machen.&lt;br /&gt;Im Juni 1948 blockierte die Sowjetunion alle Zufahrtswege nach Westberlin und schnitt 2,2 Millionen Menschen in den Westsektoren Berlins von der Versorgung mit Nahrungsmitteln und Energie ab. Berlin war zu dieser Zeit noch zu großen Teilen zerstört durch die Bombardements während des 2. Weltkriegs und deswegen vollständig von der Versorgung von außen abhängig. Aber wie sollte man Nahrung und Energie für 2,2 Millionen Menschen, inklusive der Soldaten der westlichen Besatzungsmächte, in die Stadt bringen, wenn das nur auf dem Luftweg möglich war? Eine riesige Herausforderung! Aber glücklicherweise gab es zwei tatkräftige Männer: General Lucius D. Clay, Militärgouverneur des US-Sektors, und General William H. Tunner, der schon Erfahrung mit einer Luftbrücke, genannt „The Hump“, während der japanischen Invasion in China gesammelt hatte.&lt;br /&gt;Während der nächsten 463 Tage, vom 24. April 1948 bis zum 27. August 1949, wurde West-Berlin aus der Luft versorgt. Mit 277.569 Flügen von USAF und RAF wurden 2.325.509,6 Tonnen Fracht in die Stadt gebracht; neben Lebensmitteln und Baumaterial machte Kohle zur Sicherstellung der Energieversorgung den Hauptanteil aus. Das größte Frachtaufkommen wurde zwischen dem 15. und dem 16. April 1949 erreicht: innerhalb von 24 Stunden wurden mit 1398 Flügen 12.849 Tonnen Fracht eingeflogen. Das bedeutete eine Landung pro Minute in der Stadt. Unglaublich, dass sogar das Baumaterial für ein komplettes Kohlekraftwerk eingeflogen wurde! Aber die Luftbrücke bestand nicht nur aus den Piloten und den Flugzeugen. Insgesamt arbeiteten 60.000 rund um die Uhr, um einen reibungslosen Ablauf der Luftbrücke zu gewähren.&lt;br /&gt;Die traurige Seite der Geschichte sind die Toten, die bei Unfällen während der Luftbrücke starben: 39 Briten, 31 US-Amerikaner und 13 Deutsche kamen ums Leben. Ihre Namen sind am Sockel der Luftbrückendenkmäler angebracht, so dass sie nicht in Vergessenheit geraten.&lt;br /&gt;Die Berliner Luftbrücke war nicht nur eine riesige Herausforderung, sondern auch die Garantie für ein freies West-Berlin und Grundlage für die deutsche Wiedervereinigung 40 Jahre später.&lt;br /&gt;Wenn ihr noch mehr wissen wollt, dann klickt &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_Luftbr%C3%BCcke"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598304584829125762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 269px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aD3lMuPGyMw/TbEsW9suRII/AAAAAAAAAqc/Ytz323p_YLE/s320/PICT6166.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This post was born from a mistake I made during the last assignment of Drawing Lab 2011. The first object I chose for the Sketch X Twenty assignment was the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftbr%C3%BCckendenkmal"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Berlin Airlift Memorial&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, designed by Eduard Ludwig (1906-1960), until I read that it is a must to see the object life. OK……I’ve seen one of those monuments “in person” some years back in time, but I’m not living close to any of them to go and have my drawing session there.&lt;br /&gt;In June 1948 the Soviet Union started a blockade of West Berlin, cutting down all supplies for the city down to zero. Which means no food, no electricity and no heating for 2.2 million people in the Western sectors of Berlin. Berlin was still badly destroyed by the bombings of WW II and people living there were completely depending on supplies coming to the city from West Germany by airplane, train or truck. But how to deliver food and electricity for 2.2 million people including the soldiers of the Western Allies if only the sky is open? What a huge challenge! But gladly there were General Lucius D. Clay, military governor for the US sector, and General William H. Tunner who already gained airlift experience in an operation called “The Hump” during the Japanese invasion in China.&lt;br /&gt;During 463 days, from June 24th 1948 to August 27th 1949, Western Berlin was kept alive by 277.569 flights, operated by the USAF and the RAF, bringing a load of 2,325,509.6 tons of supplies to West Berlin, including coal, food, construction materials etc. The peak was reached on April 15/16 1949, when there were 1,398 flights and 12,849 tons of freight within 24 hours. That means one plane each minute landing in the city. Can you believe that all the materials for building a whole powerplant were brought into the city by airplane? Incredible! But the airlift wasn’t only the pilots and airplanes. Overall 60,000 people worked 24/7 to guarantee a smooth operation process.&lt;br /&gt;The sad part of this story is that 39 British, 31 Americans and 13 Germans lost their lives in accidents happening during the airlift. Their names are written in the base of the Airlift Monuments, so we will remember them forever.&lt;br /&gt;The Berlin Airlift wasn’t only a huge challenge, but also the guarantee for a free West Berlin and the basis for the German reunion 40 years later, in 1989.

Hat auch wunder bar geklappt mit den Farben und dem Filzen, aber wer würde dieses kratzige, steife Ding schon gerne um den Hals tragen? Wir konnten unsere Kleine schon schreien hören! Was also machen? Ich habe den Schal dann mitgenommen, um über die weitere Verwendung nachzudenken. Und dann habe ich den Schal in der Mitte geteilt, die Hälften längs zusammengenäht, einen Henkel dran gemacht und als Verschluß einen selbstklebenden Klettpunkt (um verschluckbare Kleinteile, wie z.B. Knöpfe, zu vermeiden) angebracht. Et voilà! Schon hat meine Nichte eine Designertasche. :-) &lt;em&gt;My Mom had the idea of knitting and machine felting a scarf in bright rainbow colors for her granddaughter. It turned out great with the colors and felting, but........not as a scarf. Who would wear such a stiff, scratchy thing around the neck? We could hear the cute little girl scream noooooooo! So what to do? I took it with me to think about it. And then made a little baggie for my niece. I cut the scarf in half, sewed the two pieces together and drilled a handle. For the closure I took a self-adhesive velcro dot, so there are no parts (e.g. buttons) on the bag that could be swallowed by my niece. Voilà! My niece got her own designer bag. :-)&lt;/em&gt; (Photos and design by &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.artfire.com/"&gt;Kokopelli Design&lt;/a&gt;, 2011)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-119629324356202516?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/119629324356202516/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/taschlebaggie.html#comment-form' title='8 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/119629324356202516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/119629324356202516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/taschlebaggie.html' title='Täschle/Baggie'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sfebJ6Z1o60/TaqpQmzbS5I/AAAAAAAAAqM/QxyM9yjCPoA/s72-c/Rebeccas%2Berstes%2BT%25C3%25A4schle.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-8741322046954218177</id><published>2011-04-15T23:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T01:17:24.867-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zeichnen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing'/><title type='text'>Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 15/Week 15</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gv-mKOwZIzY/TalKZs0LKiI/AAAAAAAAAqA/3Eed0scjJ_M/s1600/Lab%2B15%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BAlbrecht%2BD%25C3%25BCrer%2BBetende%2BH%25C3%25A4nde.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596085817371732514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gv-mKOwZIzY/TalKZs0LKiI/AAAAAAAAAqA/3Eed0scjJ_M/s320/Lab%2B15%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BAlbrecht%2BD%25C3%25BCrer%2BBetende%2BH%25C3%25A4nde.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Diese Woche sollten wir unsere eigene Hand zeichnen. Ich war in der richtigen Stimmung und habe drei Hände gezeichnet und zusätzlich meine eigene Version von Albrecht Dürer's ,,Betende Hände" (s. oben). &lt;em&gt;This week was about drawing our own hand. I was in the right mood and drew three hands plus my own version of Albrecht Dürer's "Praying Hands" (shown above).&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnm9uaLC2yA/TalKYxdTBCI/AAAAAAAAApo/iXxutTcTfMc/s1600/Lab%2B15%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BHand%2B1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596085801438086178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pnm9uaLC2yA/TalKYxdTBCI/AAAAAAAAApo/iXxutTcTfMc/s320/Lab%2B15%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BHand%2B1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Was mich am meisten überrascht hat, war die Tatsache, daß ich die Schattierung bei allen Zeichnungen so hinbekommen habe, daß die Zeichnungen nicht mehr flach, sondern dreidimensional erscheinen.

Is this the first effect of this class meaning I learnt something and was able to increase my drawing skills a bit?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596085805640616882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wJtE1DNBNZs/TalKZBHQi7I/AAAAAAAAApw/MUlEWpbYxAM/s320/Lab%2B15%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BHand%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eine andere Teilnehmerin, &lt;a href="http://lutkaandco.com/"&gt;Linda&lt;/a&gt;, hat mich mit ihrer Zeichnung des Vulkanier-Grußes doch sehr zum Lachen gebracht.

Den hübschen Kerl habe ich in das Leder eingebrannt und er ziert die Brustplatte, wo die drei Gurte zusammenlaufen. Wie ihr seht, habe ich versucht, kein Metall zu verwenden, um die Gurte zusammenzufügen. Geschnürt mit Leder sieht es irgendwie uriger aus. &lt;em&gt;I'm working on the embellishments of my back quiver and don't know if I already showed yout this teddy bear. I burnt this beauty into the leather which forms the chest plate where the three belts meet. As you can see I tried not to use any metal to join the belts. Joined with leather cord looks much better to me. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wEYnjg7TWak/TaUssjgFHMI/AAAAAAAAApA/YLTxg0ZNjuM/s1600/Brustplatte%2BR%25C3%25BCckenk%25C3%25B6cher%2B1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594927256033369282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wEYnjg7TWak/TaUssjgFHMI/AAAAAAAAApA/YLTxg0ZNjuM/s320/Brustplatte%2BR%25C3%25BCckenk%25C3%25B6cher%2B1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Das zweite fertige Objekt ist eine Rabenfeder mit Perlenverzierung am Kiel.

Ich bin normalerweise kein Fan von Tiger- und Leopardendruck, aber die Socken gefallen mir super. Eine Zebramusterwolle habe ich auch noch. Aber jetzt muß ich erstmal die Socken mit Spiralferse ausprobieren. Die tierische Sockenwolle ist übrigens von Opal und ein Teil des Verkaufserlöses kommt dem Verein ,,Rettet den Regenwald e.V." zugute.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;As I saw this sock wool I got to have it. Usually I'm not a big fan of tiger or leopard prints and patterns, but I love these socks. I also got some zebra pattern wool. But first I got to try socks with spiral heels. By the way, the animal sock wool is from Opal and a part of the sales goes to the "Save the Rainforest e.V." organisation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Photo by Kokopelli Design, 2011)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-7622714190707096176?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/7622714190707096176/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/tigersockentiger-socks.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7622714190707096176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/7622714190707096176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/04/tigersockentiger-socks.html' title='Tigersocken/Tiger Socks'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZcmG4_QW4s/TZ0-p6HA0DI/AAAAAAAAAow/cWseDyL8gdM/s72-c/PICT6138.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-4422856477910091380</id><published>2011-04-04T13:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-04T13:24:26.187-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rocailles'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seedbeads'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Leder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='native american beadwork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='leather'/><title type='text'>Zwei Rosetten/Two rosettes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3pwK30Q8Q1M/TZolFhFlAbI/AAAAAAAAAoo/NZzWrYg-L5E/s1600/PICT6130.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591822664045232562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3pwK30Q8Q1M/TZolFhFlAbI/AAAAAAAAAoo/NZzWrYg-L5E/s320/PICT6130.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die Arbeiten an meinem Rückenköcher gehen langsam voran, aber immerhin gehen sie voran.

Dadurch daß ich jede Woche eine neue Zeichenaufgabe bekommen habe, wurde ich praktisch ,,gezwungen" zu zeichnen und ich denke, ich bin schon ein bißchen besser geworden. Zumindest hätte ich vorher vermutlich keine Mona Lisa zeichnen können, die dem Original auch nur ähnlich gesehen hätte. *lol* Wenn ihr euch auch all die anderen Arbeiten ansehen wollt, die in den letzten drei Monaten entstanden sind, dann besucht &lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2011/03/31/art-show-blog-hop/"&gt;Jeannie's Blog&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;So here's the Art Show Blog Hop revisiting the last three months of Drawing Lab 2011. It was really a great experience so far and by given a new assignment every week I was "forced" to draw. I already feel that some of my skills got better. I never would have drawn a Mona Lisa tha would have looked similar to the original before. *lol* So if you'd like to see all the other participants' work, visit the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://site.jkdjewelry.com/blog/2011/03/31/art-show-blog-hop/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;main post of the blog hop&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; on Jeannie's blog.&lt;/em&gt; Und hier sind nun meine Kunstwerke aus den letzten drei Monaten.

März vorbereiten, wo man dann viele Arbeiten der Teilnehmer bewundern kann, die sie in den letzten drei Monaten gemacht haben. &lt;em&gt;Wow, I can't believe week 12 of Drawing Lab is already over and we're all preparing for the big Art Show Blog Hop on March 31st, seeing and showing the work of all the participants from the last three months. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-frV6pz_yc7M/TY8Kk5unY4I/AAAAAAAAAoY/AweeWEgbc6s/s1600/PICT6090.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588697291677983618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-frV6pz_yc7M/TY8Kk5unY4I/AAAAAAAAAoY/AweeWEgbc6s/s320/PICT6090.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Aber zuerst noch die Ergebnisse dieser Woche. Wir sollten uns einen alten Meister aussuchen und versuchen, ihn zu kopieren. Ich habe mir ein hohes Ziel gesteckt und versucht, Leonardo da Vincis &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa"&gt;Mona Lisa&lt;/a&gt;, auch bekannt als ,,La Gioconda", zu kopieren. Ich denke, sie ist ganz gut geworden. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sooo, what were we up to this week? It was all about tracing and copying a painting from an old master. I decided to aim high and go with Leonardo da Vinci and his &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mona Lisa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, also known as "La Gioconda". I think it turned out pretty good.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588697294431806946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-07b7IJIgQsM/TY8KlD_LZeI/AAAAAAAAAog/vnyebAW5A7E/s320/PICT6092.JPG" border="0" /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(All photos and drawings by Kokopelli Design, 2011)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-3049196871440331772?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/3049196871440331772/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/drawing-lab-woche-12week-12.html#comment-form' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3049196871440331772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3049196871440331772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/drawing-lab-woche-12week-12.html' title='Drawing Lab: Woche 12/Week 12'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-frV6pz_yc7M/TY8Kk5unY4I/AAAAAAAAAoY/AweeWEgbc6s/s72-c/PICT6090.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-6416261833179973109</id><published>2011-03-27T02:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-27T03:17:33.898-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='supplies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perlenstickerei'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beadwright'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bead embroidery'/><title type='text'>Nicole's Bead Backing</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iAOgl9zLnVY/TY8BstC3WuI/AAAAAAAAAoA/QcxKY1rqjps/s1600/PICT6084.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588687530107558626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iAOgl9zLnVY/TY8BstC3WuI/AAAAAAAAAoA/QcxKY1rqjps/s320/PICT6084.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Eine meiner größten Leidenschaften ist Perlensticken und ich bin immer auf der Suche nach neuen Stickuntergründen. Ich verwende Leder, echtes und künstliches, Filz und viele andere Materialien. Nun habe ich mir etwas gegönnt und mir die komplette Farbpalette von &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67648533/beadbacking-nicoles-new-color-added"&gt;Nicole's Bead Backing&lt;/a&gt; bestellt, die Künstlerin, Perlerin und Bloggerin Nicole Campanella in ihrem &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Beadwright"&gt;Etsy Shop&lt;/a&gt; verkauft. Ich habe alle 16 Farben im Set bestellt und bin begeistert, wie fest das Filzgewebe ist. Ich denke, das ist ein toller Stickgrund, der sehr gut die Form hält. Natürlich muß man nicht die ganze Farbpalette bestellen, sondern kann Nicole auch wegen einzelner Farben kontaktieren. Besucht unbedingt auch mal ihren &lt;a href="http://beadwright.blogspot.com/"&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt; und schaut euch ihre Perlenarbeiten und andere Kunst an.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of my biggest passions in beadwork is bead embroidery and I'm always looking for new backgrounds to stitch on. I use leather, genuine and faux, felt and many other materials. Now I got myself a little treat and ordered some of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67648533/beadbacking-nicoles-new-color-added"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nicole's Bead Backing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, sold in her &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Beadwright"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Etsy Shop&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; by fellow artist, beader and blogger Nicole Campanella. I ordered the whole color palette of now 16 colors and was amazed by the stiffness of the felt fabric. I think that will make a wonderful background, which can stand the weight of the beads and hold its shape when worn. You don't have to order the whole color palette, but can contact Nicole for single sheets. Also check out her &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://beadwright.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;em&gt;blog&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; and have a look at her beautiful beadwork and other art.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Photo by Kokopelli Design, 2011)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-6416261833179973109?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/6416261833179973109/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/nicoles-bead-backing.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/6416261833179973109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/6416261833179973109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/nicoles-bead-backing.html' title='Nicole&apos;s Bead Backing'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iAOgl9zLnVY/TY8BstC3WuI/AAAAAAAAAoA/QcxKY1rqjps/s72-c/PICT6084.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-4919410486908417945</id><published>2011-03-20T14:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T14:17:36.289-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bracelet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='armband'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='draht'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chainmaille'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wire'/><title type='text'>Artfire Shop: Armbänder/Bracelets</title><content type='html'>Diese Woche gibt es zwei neue Armbänder im Shop.

Eine sollte farbig und die andere schwarz-weiß sein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week, or better last week as I'm late again, we had to choose two artists and make two gift cards, based on the style of the artist. One should be colored and one without color.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meine farbige Version wurde von Miró (1893-1983) inspiriert, einem meiner absoluten Lieblingskünstler, weil ich vor allem seine abstrakten Formen und seine Farben mag. Die Konturen habe ich mit schwarzem Filzstift gezeichnet und dann mit Holz-Farbstiften ausgemalt. Seine Signatur durfte natürlich auch nicht fehlen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;For my colored card I chose Miró (1893-1983), one of my all-time favorite artists, as I love his abstract shapes and use of color. I draw the black outlines with a sharpie and then filled in the spaces with colored pencils. I also forged his signature.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584921134093040242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vmZNJKMY3Mw/TYGgLmgv-nI/AAAAAAAAAnQ/WLyKTq7SYiY/s320/Lab%2B10%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BMir%25C3%25B3%2BGift%2BCard%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als nächstes mußte ich einen Künstler für die s/w-Version finden. Gar nicht so einfach, weil ich Farben doch so mag. Ich habe mich für den Navajo-Künstler R.C. Gorman (1931-2005) entschieden. Ich mag besonders seine Frauenzeichnungen und habe eine Bleistiftversion gemacht:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Next one was to find an artist for the b/w card. Not easy as I am a colr loving person. I chose to go with R.C. Gorman (1931-2005), a Navajo artist. I especially admire his women paintings and tried a pencil version:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v31-c_z6Wy0/TYGgL83BYdI/AAAAAAAAAnY/TmU0pUZtxYc/s1600/Lab%2B10%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BNavajo%2BWoman%2Bafter%2BR.C.%2BGorman%2B2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584921140092035538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v31-c_z6Wy0/TYGgL83BYdI/AAAAAAAAAnY/TmU0pUZtxYc/s320/Lab%2B10%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BNavajo%2BWoman%2Bafter%2BR.C.%2BGorman%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Aber damit war ich nicht so richtig glücklich, weil dem Bild ohne Farbe einfach die Kraft fehlt und es so gar nicht nach Gorman aussieht. Also habe ich es doch noch coloriert. Viel besser! Was denkt ihr?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;But I wasn't happy with it, as the drawing seemed powerless and "not Gorman". So I colored it afterwards. That much much better!

Es gibt viele Webarten und Gruppen von Webarten and ich habe versucht, für jede Gruppe ein Beispiel zu machen. Japenese 12-in-2 ist ein Muster aus zwei Ringgrößen und ergibt ein tolles Blumenmuster. Beim Perlentauschen mit einer Freundin hatte ich das Glück, ein Set für ein Japanese-12-in-2-Armband zu bekommen. So war die Herstellung dieses Schmuckstückes recht einfach, ohne daß ich erst aufwendig die Ringe herstellen mußte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;For my chainmaille classes I did some show pieces for my students to see. There are a lot of weaves and "families" of weaves and I tried to make one for every family. Japanese 12-in-2 is a beautiful weave made from 2 sizes of rings and makes for nice flower shapes. I had the luck to get a chainmaille kit by swapping beads with a friend and so I could make this bracelet without coiling my own rings.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583304617028220258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 293px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W1HW4YVPGoY/TXvh97LD9WI/AAAAAAAAAnI/IJ4i5Kj0N2k/s320/Armband%2BJapanese%2B12-in-2%2Bsilverplated%2B4.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5651244347871533617-3739787025089911606?l=kokopellidesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/feeds/3739787025089911606/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/japanese-12-in-2.html#comment-form' title='3 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3739787025089911606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5651244347871533617/posts/default/3739787025089911606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/japanese-12-in-2.html' title='Japanese 12-in-2'/><author><name>Kokopelli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01187667702078084059</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jsclIe1c1oM/SWDF37S5B9I/AAAAAAAAAAM/flVtmyxOcvw/S220/kokobronse.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vyc4dCwnD0s/TXvh9hyR-SI/AAAAAAAAAnA/TYeN0TUc8JI/s72-c/Armband%2BJapanese%2B12-in-2%2Bsilverplated%2B1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651244347871533617.post-4057160996713287063</id><published>2011-03-10T12:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-10T12:20:37.799-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawing lab 2011'/><title type='text'>Drawing Lab 2011: Woche 9/Week 9</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CRUjQQgsGfA/TXkyEHVQcgI/AAAAAAAAAlg/qGjecJy847A/s1600/Lab%2B9%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BGeometric%2BShapes%2B1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582548259371512322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CRUjQQgsGfA/TXkyEHVQcgI/AAAAAAAAAlg/qGjecJy847A/s320/Lab%2B9%2BDagi%2BLiebisch%2BGeometric%2BShapes%2B1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diese Woche sollten wir lernen, ein Objekt in geometrische Formen zu zerlegen, um es besser zeichnen zu können. Ich habe dazu eins meiner Lieblingsfotos verwendet, einen japanischen Kyudo-Bogenschützen. Ich war selbst überrascht, daß die Proportionen wie auf dem Foto rauskamen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So our assignment for this week was about learning to break down an object into geometric shapes for being able to draw it. I did that with one of my favorite photos, a Japanese Kyudo archer.

Ich wollte den Teilnehmern nicht nur die Technik beibringen, sondern ihnen auch einige Hintergrundinformationen über Handwerkskunst und Geschichte vermitteln. Leider haben sich nur drei Teilnehmer angemeldet, von denen am Ende nur zwei da waren. Aber so konnte ich den beiden sehr viel mehr Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit widmen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I once again had the joy of teaching a class, this time one about chainmaille. It was not only about learning a certain weave, but get a bit of background information about craftmanship, technique and history. Sadly there were only three people signing up and in the end only two showed up, but so there was much more one-on-one time. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580530172443552002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9bF27sGChQQ/TXIGn_rY6QI/AAAAAAAAAkw/gKrDAtStoHA/s320/Armband%2BByzantine%2BKupfer%2Bund%2BAqua%2BCzech%2BCutbeads%2B2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beaded Byzantine Chain&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Da es nur zwei Teilnehmer waren, habe ich ihnen die Wahl des Kettenmusters überlassen. Einer hat sich Full Persian (Beinahe-Herzinfarkt meinerseits!) ausgesucht und hat einen harten Kampf mit den ersten paar Zentimetern auszufechten. Aber er hat's geschafft und ein Konfirmationsgeschenk für seine Schwester gemacht. Gut gemacht!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;As there were only two students I let them choose the weave they want to make. One went for Full Persian (I almost had a heart attack!) and he had a tough time weaving the first inch. But he did it: a bracelet as a confirmation gift for his little sister. Great work!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580532258646330962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VSDBk33xWg0/TXIIhbY5DlI/AAAAAAAAAlI/ZclQM4YpLfc/s320/PICT5995.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Full Persian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die zweite Teilnehmerin hat die endlosen Varianten von Byzantine ausprobiert: die ganz normale Kette, dann Romanov und schließlich auch noch Box Chain (auch Inca Puno genannt, s. unten).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;My second student had fun playing around with the endless possibilities of Byzantine Chain (see first pic). She tried Byzantine, Romanov and finally Box Chain (also called Inca Puno, see below).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580531094492589938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GN3HqwHs1rc/TXIHdqlAr3I/AAAAAAAAAk4/BXzYH5AF6hg/s320/Armband%2BBoxchain%2BKupfer%2BKarneol%2B10.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Box or Inca Puno Chain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Als kleine Zugabe habe ich ihnen noch gezeigt, wie man einen Verschluß aus Draht macht. Normalerweise mache ich die Verschlüsse für alle Teilnehmern und lasse sie aussuchen,welcher ihnen gefällt. Kleiner Teilnehmerzahlen haben ihre Vorteile. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As a little bonus I also taught them how to make a wire clasp. Usually I make them for all the students and let them pick the one they want.

Ich hätte nicht gedacht, daß die Farben überhaupt zusammenpassen, aber ich wurde eines besseren belehrt. :-) Ich habe mich dieses Mal für Marcies Farbschema entschieden, das aus pastelligen Gelbtönen und Jeansblau bestand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;The reveal is here and I have to say that I fell in love with the color scheme I used. I never thought it would work, but was proven wrong. :-) I chose to go with the palette Marcie chose, consisting of sandy yellows and denim blue. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575328637980682658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 312px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fFqTJS1Bkiw/TV-L21zmqaI/AAAAAAAAAjI/C_hNHApv87c/s320/mADRID.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ich hatte die Idee, ganz viele geperlte Perlen zu machen, immer mit einem leichten Unterschied in Farbe und Perlen. Aber was macht man mit den ganzen geperlten Perlen? Die Armband-Idee hat furchtbar ausgesehen und so habe ich eine Kette draus gemacht. Ich habe die "Windows of Madrid" genannt, weil mich die Perlen an Fenster erinnern. Und auch an das Erbe der Sarazenen, die ja eine ganze Zeit in Spanien gelebt haben, und die &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/margie-me-129-mosaic-of-color.html"&gt;islamischen Mosaike, die schon das Thema in einer der letzten Challenges&lt;/a&gt; waren. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;I had the idea to make beaded beads, all with a slight change of beads and colors. But what to do with them? The bracelet idea, I had in mind, didn't work and so I went for a necklace. I called it "Windows of Madrid" as those little square beads look like windows and also remind me of the Sarazen heritage in Spain and the &lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/margie-me-129-mosaic-of-color.html"&gt;Islamic mosaics that were in one of last year's challenges&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575369842132488962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vqhl4pYSRqk/TV-xVPO7kwI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/Pjp5lE5r6OQ/s320/PICT5946.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wenn ihr die &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://kokopellidesign.blogspot.com/2011/02/margie-me-sneak-peek.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Vorschau&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; schon gemocht habt, dann hoffe ich, daß euch das ganze Stück auch gefällt.

Me-Challenge läßt zwar noch ein bißchen auf sich warten, aber ich wollte mein Stück schon vorher fertig haben, da einige große Veränderungen in meinem Leben anstehen. Als kleines Gutsle gibt es hier den Verschluß meiner neuesten Kreation zu sehen. Ich habe mich dieses Mal für die &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2011/01/margie-and-me-modern-madrid.html"&gt;Farbpalette von Marcie&lt;/a&gt; entschieden, weil mir die Gelbtöne und das dunkle Blau sehr gut gefallen haben. Der Tag der Enthüllung ist der 19. Februar und ihr dürft gespannt sein!&lt;br /&gt;Weitere Mini-Enthüllungen könnt ihr &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2011/02/tilas-and-bead-soup-and-me-and-margie.html"&gt;hier&lt;/a&gt; begutachten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The next reveal for the Margie &amp;amp; Me Challenge isn't just around the corner, but I wanted my piece to be ready early, as there will be some big changes in my life in the near future. So here's a sneak preview of what I did. This is the clasp of my newest creation. This time I chose to go with &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2011/01/margie-and-me-modern-madrid.html"&gt;Marcie's color palette&lt;/a&gt; instead of one from Margie Deeb's book. The sandy yellows and dark denim blue spoke to me. So stay tuned for the big reveal on February 19th!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;More previews can be seen &lt;a href="http://labellajoya.blogspot.com/2011/02/tilas-and-bead-soup-and-me-and-margie.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(Photo and design by Kokopelli Design, 2011, so PLEASE respect copyright.
