El edelweiss o flor de las nieves, es una pequeña flor característica de los Alpes. Está cubierta de una fina pelusa, es de color blanco casi brillante, y tienen el centro dorado o amarillo. El término edelweiss es de origen germánico y en castellano se pronuncia "edelvais". Significa "blanco noble" o "blanco puro" (edel=noble o puro, weiss=blanco).Esta flor emblemática fue esquilmada durante años, habiendo desaparecido de muchos lugares, por lo que está prohibida su recolección en algunas zonas. En la actualidad, en España se encuentra sólamente en el Pirineo, y raramente, en las montañas del norte de León.El edelweiss se esconde bajo la apariencia de una sola flor, pero en realidad es un conjunto de diminutas florecillas que han evolucionado y crecen agrupadas para sobrevivir. ¿Dónde comprar el broche que llevas en el video?

a little luxe coverlet how-to - wise craft Here is a project I've been wanting to do for a long time. Since first seeing and falling in love with the original version at my friend Sam's home. A really simple faux fur throw (absolutely no patchwork in this project). One of the reasons I haven't already made is because I do not like 95% of the faux fur I see for sale. So much of it feels gnarly and looks costumey, not so appealing for this type of project. The fur that Sam used is perfect for a project like this, but there was none like it to be found in my search. Until Ian and I happened upon this faux chinchilla last week. Keep in mind, this project is pretty much halfway the minute you've purchased the fur and backing fabric. Luxe Faux Chinchilla Coverlet Materials: Faux fur of your choice, 60" wide, 2 yds. Cotton Flannel for backing, 44" wide, 3 yards. Thread to match fur Scissors Rotary Cutter and cutting mat are a bonus to have Pins Disappearing marker To Make: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
YouKioske.com - Revistas, Periodicos, Comics, Libros. Simple Leather iPod Touch/iPhone Case Can you keep a secret? Santa’s been shopping at the Apple store. So I thought I’d help out with a few handmade stocking stuffers- iPod Touch cases. (My daughters are forbidden to look at my blog until after Christmas, so Shhh!) I searched online for a template, and when I couldn’t find any, I made one myself. The template (below in outline) is for using with heavy material such as repurposed purse leather like I use. Although I haven’t tried it, I imagine heavy wool felt would work very nice. Begin by trimming out the leather pieces based on the free PDF template pattern (Click on template for download.) With your sewing machine on it’s slowest speed (I used the up down button on mine to go extra slow on the curves,) stitch the top area of the short front piece. If you are adding a loop, stitch that to the longer back piece before joining front and back pieces. Here is the case I made for Sarah using her Vintage Monogram and free digital ornate book cover image. UPDATE: Winners chosen!
Chiffons et Gourmandises de Cobaltines Make your own Inked Image Hair Sticks August 7th, 2008 in gallery Email 3 users recommend For my hair sticks, I usually use squared sticks, then carve/cut, to make the shapes & look that I want. But, for this project, I took a simpler approach with dowel rods. Cut them to size, 6 inches. LM Hairsticks Here is a close up of the image stamped onto the sticks. The tip to remember is to lay the stamp with the ink side up. Seal the wood with your choice of glaze. Cut them to size, 6 inches. Each picture describes a step in the process for how to make this pair. These are handmade hairsticks stamped with archival ink, painted with watercolors, and sealed with beeswax.
