Knot trivet

Knot trivet
last month i bought lauren a set of “the family creative workshop” books for her birthday. we’ve been having a blast learning all sorts of new things as we make our way through the incredible variety of projects collected in the volumes. one section we were particularly excited to explore was all about knots, which we’ve long admired both for their usefulness and their beauty. this project is based on a “carrick bend” and is great for creating trivets and placemats, but you could just as easily hang it on your wall to be admired for its decorative charm. have fun!derek & lauren CLICK HERE for the full project after the jump! here’s what you’ll need: -14 feet of 1/2” rope for an approximately 8” trivet (we recommend you play around with different lengths and thicknesses of rope until you find a size and style you like. the cotton rope is great for this project, but we couldn’t resist the nylon rope with its amazing patterns and colors.) 2. form a loop with the right (longer) piece as shown.

How to make T-shirt yarn Another tutorial to help save our Mother Earth by turning unwanted items into something useful. This is the yarn ball I made out of an old T-shirt which I have been wearing for 10 years day-in day-out, wash-in wash-out. It finally broke down and tore at the collar and sleeves. I have finished making the drawstring bag as shown above. {CLICK HERE to get the Recycle Tutorial – Making Of T-Shirt Yarn.} Pages: 1 2 Print / Download PDF

Fabric Flower Headband DIY If I had to choose one thing to make over and over and over again, it would have to be fabric flowers. Of course it would be a tough choice between glitterizing every purse I have... I still think I would always choose fabric flowers. (And I have no idea why there would be some evil crafter out there that would give me such an ultimatum, but just go with me.) :) From flowers made of zippers, fabric flowers on skirts, fabric flowers on shirts, it's safe to say I like flowers. A little. For this project you need: ♥ Fabric strips♥ Hot Glue Gun♥ Headband♥ Some sort of fabric that won't fray. This tutorial is a bit easier to understand through video. PS- I need some better muzak forealz. And then you get this! You can also make these flowers into belt embellishments, corsages, hair clips, anything really. To all of my flower-loving kindred spirits out there, I've pinned about a bazillion flowers in my DIY Fashion board on Pinterest.

Diabase | Geology Wiki | Fandom Diabase /ˈdaɪ./ or dolerite or microgabbro is a mafic, holocrystalline, subvolcanic rock equivalent to volcanic basalt or plutonic gabbro. Diabase dikes and sills are typically shallow intrusive bodies and often exhibit fine grained to aphanitic chilled margins which may contain tachylite (dark mafic glass). Petrography Edit Diabase normally has a fine, but visible texture of euhedral lath-shaped plagioclase crystals (62%) set in a finer matrix of clinopyroxene, typically augite (20–29%), with minor olivine (3% up to 12% in olivine diabase), magnetite (2%), and ilmenite (2%).[1] Accessory and alteration minerals include hornblende, biotite, apatite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, serpentine, chlorite, and calcite. Locations File:Dike diabase AZ.jpg Diabase is usually found in smaller relatively shallow intrusive bodies such as dikes and sills. The Palisades Sill which makes up the New Jersey Palisades on the Hudson River, near New York City, is an example of a diabase sill. Use See also References

Crochet T-shirt Rug I’ve seen a lot of crocheted and woven and braided rugs out on the internet; it was even one of the first things I pinned to Pinterest, but I never got around to trying one of my own until now. I always thought it was going to be difficult, but actually, it’s really quite easy, and no fancy instructions needed! Here’s how I made my own crochet rug from repurposed t-shirts! Step 1. Step 2. The basic idea is that the shirt is already in the round, so you’re cutting a continuous strip from the bottom hem up to the armpit. Step 3. Step 4. I used the largest crochet hook I had on hand, which was a size Q and started with 6 SC in the first round, doubled it to 12 in the second round, and slowly increased by multiples of 6 beyond that. 1st round: 6 SC 2nd round: 2 SC in each stitch (12 stitches) 3rd round: *1 SC in next stitch, 2 SC in next stitch, repeat from * (18 stitches) 4th round: * 1 SC in next 2 stitches, 2 SC in next stitch, repeat form * (24 stitches) and so on.

Marbleizing Paper « Skip To My Lou To make this fun and easy marbleized paper you will need: 1/2 tsp alum (helps paint adhere to the paper), 2 cups liquid starch, liquid acrylic paints, a long wooden skewer , a 9 X 13 pan and white copy paper cut to fit the inside your pan. You can change up the size of the pan, just keep the proportions of starch and alum the same. The starch should be 1 to 2 inches deep in your pan. Pour 2 cups of liquid starch in the pan then add 1/2 tsp alum stirring until mixed. Gently drop acrylic paint on the surface of the starch. Some paint will sink to the bottom- do not worry. Take the wooden skewer and drag the paint through the starch. Lay your piece of paper on top of the starch. Lift the paper out of the pan and allow the starch to drip off the paper Rinse the paper under running water removing any extra starch. After the paper has been rinsed, lay it out to dry. You may find that you can print two sheets of paper before adding more paint to the starch. Have fun! Like this: Like Loading...

A Little Fall Leaf and Mason Jar Re-use Project Ok! This may look a bit familiar. While I sat brushing Mod Podge on dozens of leaves to use on my Fall wreath, I decided to light a little jar candle covered with fall leaves that I made last year to keep me company. I enjoyed the warm glow of the candlelight dancing through the leaves so much that I just had to make a bigger one! But this time I made it with the intention that it could be used the rest of the year for crafty storage! I used a large, one quart jar with a two piece canning lid. This has worked so well, I am planning to make a full set of four - one for each season to use to store tea bags, Splenda packets etc. on my kitchen shelf - keeping them in rotation as candles as the seasons go by. And since it is so easy to do, I am making some with my two little gingerbread house buddies for their Thanksgiving table! How to make a Fall Leaf Candle! All you need to make one: dried, pressed fall leaves, regular Mod Podge, a jar and a brush. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Here is a sneak preview!

Deux mythes fondamentaux de la psychanalyse: "Œdipe" et "Totem et tabou" Deux mythes fondamentaux de la psychanalyse: "Œdipe" et "Totem et tabou" Table des matières Introduction Au début du XXe siècle, les recherches de Sigmund Freud l’amené à se pencher sur les mythes grecs et la pensée des Grecs anciens. Dans cette tragédie, Sophocle a approché les thèmes du parricide, de l’inceste, des oracles des dieux et de la moralité. Freud, qui travaillait déjà sur l’inconscient, fait le lien entre l’inconscient et la tragédie d’Oedipe Roi et décrit la situation fondamentale du complexe d’Œdipe, qui a changé la perception intellectuelle du monde. Approfondissant ses recherches sur les origines des coutumes, de la tradition et des règles sociales, il élabore, à l’aide des théories des anthropologues et des linguistiques, Totem et Tabou. Cette œuvre reprend la théorie de l’évolution du monde, expliquée par la psychanalyse. Nous avons décidé de travailler sur ces deux mythes (le mythe d’Œdipe et le mythe freudien) en essayant d’approcher la base de la théorie psychanalytique.

Cave Paper Autumn Magic! Fall Leaves, Mod Podge, and Food Coloring Not a leaf! The "leaves" on this vase are 100% Mod Podge "film" tinted with a few drops of food coloring. Same for this garland! Tinted Mod Podge film "leaves" glued to a piece of raffia! Beautiful when the light makes them glow. You have seen the candles on the left before. The candle on the right - the leaves themselves are actually Mod Podge film tinted with food coloring. A little close-up. I am having so much fun playing with Mod Podge tinted with food coloring in this new way. Remember the very cool leaves I shared last fall. the pigments had migrated into some fascinating and unusual designs. They remained in the press all winter and summer, and I just pulled them out a week or so ago to "preserve" them with Mod Podge so they could be enjoyed during the coming fall season. After coating with Mod Podge, all my beautiful leaves are back to their brilliant selves and no longer brittle and fragile. I attempted to remove the ugly glob, thinking I could rescue the leaf with more Mod Podge!
