For Crazy Tuesday - Gift

Anything goes 2021 - Cosy at home

I crocheted some mug cosies as gifts for Christmas and kept this one for myself.

I hope you all had a very happy Christmas. We managed to have a lovely time in spite of one son and daughter-in-law unable to join us due to Covid. They are feeling a lot better and out of isolation now. Our youngest son and family were with us on Christmas day and he has since tested positive so we are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't go down with it. I'm afraid this is life now :(

Some more of the pumpkins I crocheted, thought I'd do some different colours.

Continuing with the iPhone.

Day 331/365:

A bit samey, I know but I don't have a lot of time at the moment with our grandson staying with us. It's my friend's birthday today so this is her gift. I watched a video on the way to wrap a gift like this, it was harder than it looked and the paper kept tearing. Got there in the end though. I made the gift tag too, and a card but didn't want to put too much in the frame so left the card out.

Detail of an oil painting I did recently. For 'Macro Mondays', theme: I made this.

En otro momento la cerámica me cautivó. Amasar el barro para darle forma, cocerlo, pintarlo y de nuevo cocción. Hace muchos años de este pequeño trabajo...

This week's theme for macro mondays is something handmade by me. This is a tiny embroidery of a Townsend's Warbler from a photo I took. The bird in its entirety measures 2 1/2 " by 2 1/2". Each thread is a single sewing thread. The original photo I took is in the comments.

Detail of a cope and stick joint, used when I remodeled the kitchen and bath cabinets. I started with rough lumber and this is the finish product.

Macro mondays : I made this

---------------------------------------

When I can and have some time I like to make small crafts, with paper or molding with clay or mud, small glasses, small clay jugs like this one, but very simple, although it is difficult for me I keep trying.

The vast majority of the machined parts I made as a machinist were parts of an assembly. Only the technician putting the thing together and possibly someone later doing a repair would ever see any of the work I did. I almost never knew what a widget was or what purpose it served. I would get a drawing, a quantity of material and instructions about which machine to use and how soon I needed to have the job finished. The drawing had all the relevant information necessary to create parts that worked so I didn't need to know any further details. This brass part was no exception. I have no idea what function it was meant to do. Looking at the thing I seem to remember it wasn't an easy part due to the length of the smallest diameter and the soft nature of brass. It's 64.6 mm long and the knurled diameter is 21.7mm diameter. I'm sure it was made to inch dimensions but since I retired I've switched my brain to metric because I got sick of converting. HMM and thanks for any and all views, faves and comments.

Favs and Comments are very much appreciates. Thank you all 😊❤️

My dog is now 14 years old.

She doesn't like the heat, so I never thought that the day would come when she would feel cold on a winter morning. She was often shivering in the morning this winter.

So I knitted a sweater to keep her warm.

She like it!

I intentionally left her hair on the sweater in the photo.

For #MacroMondays and this week's theme #IMadeThis

Happy Macro Monday!

Thanks for all your faves and comments everyone!

I really appreciate them!

Something musical that I made. It does not really translate to macro in a way. Or maybe it does.

Happy Macro Mondays

She may be sleeping with eyes beyond all evils,

Beyond the things, illusions, beyond the reality,

And with her there sleeps, unprecedented her beauty;

She may be living and will come after this dream,

She may be sleeping with eyes beyond all evils

(the last stanza of this wonderful poem)

Vladislav Petković Dis (1880–1917), a famous Serbian poet

This was my student sculptural work on the theme of characters from Poetry.

I chose the poem I like the most "She may be sleeping"

After two days of working on the sculpture, the professor said it was excellent, but it was too small, so I had to work again. The second, larger one is still in the school gallery. It's lucky that I kept this sculpture, but it had already dried up too much to finish it.

HMM!

MACRO MONDAYS "I made this" theme

Designed and 3D printed this plastic replica of a small adjustable wrench, consisting of 4 components.

An engraved tree on a Bocksbeutel, with a small string of lights inside.

erst mal klein anfangen ;-)

dieser Zapfhahn hat eine Gesamtgröße von 4x3 cm

ich denke, da er durch die Perspektive der Aufnahme kürzer ist, wird dieses Makro noch regelkonform für "Macro Mondays" sein?

Actually, #MyWifeMadeThisIAmJustTakingCredit

This is a portion of a hand cranked coffee mill. I made the box from local (PA) red oak and stained it walnut. I bought the cast iron mechanism, still attached to a decomposing chunk of the original grinder at a junk store . I made the new box at a woodworking night class, tailored for adults, at the county high school. I will be 50 years this fall since I made the box and would guess the mechanism to be between 120 to 160 years old.

A box joint is a woodworking joint made by cutting a set of complementary, interlocking profiles in two pieces of wood, which are then joined (usually) at right angles, usually glued. The glued box joint has a high glued surface area resulting in a strong bond, on a similar principle to a finger joint. Box joints are used for corners of boxes or box-like constructions, hence the name.

Macro Mondays theme: I Made This

The bird is my own creation: mixing wire, needle felting and real feathers. It was crafted to complete a Funco Pop customisation of me and my husband, known in my doll photography world as Mr Bigg. Link to the complete work in the comments below.

The bird is a symbol of my longtime persona: abirdonthehead, which first appeared in a self portrait in the style of Klee I created in Microsoft Paint many years ago. It is also shown below in the comments.

HMM!!!

For Macro Monday's theme this week I was struggling because I don't make anything really. Sunday I was volunteering on a work party at a bird reserve they plan to open at the end of next month. The task I had this week was drilling small batons of wood and screwing them through smaller wooden blocks, to fence posts. Sounds pointless but there was actually a purpose and it all worked quite well in the end. Here is one of my pieces loving crafted from some rough timber and some chunky screws. Driven in with a an already worn screwdriver bit.. The pieces of wood were 2 inches across and the screws had to be set in from the edges, so the two screws here at less than an inch apart. Scene is under 2 inches.

Explored #1

IC 7809 Voltage Regulator - to get a regulated 9v power supply from a different voltage power supply.

I needed a 9V power supply but only had a 12V battery so I made this to do the job. 12V on the red wire and 9V on the yellow wire.

with felt, buttons and fabric scraps...

The 4/21 Macro Mondays theme is I Made This.

I molded the lead jig at the top and carved the wooden lure at the bottom from a piece of dowel.

After being up at 5am and only a snack for lunch I decided to make a super hearty dinner.

Stuffed with spinach and the roasted garlic left over from making the gnocchi yesterday.
