La/os habituales saben que me encantan los recortes de papel e incluso he hecho alguno que otro. Esta vez los compre, estos son chinos y todo un arte, muy delicados e intrincados. Los encontre en un puesto de la Canalway Cavalcade 2013 el domingo pasado. Ahora a ver si me atrevo a hacer alguno, aunque sea con la ayuda de algun que otro tutorial. Aqui hay muchos donde escoger.
I like papercuts, in any style. I even did my own kirigami hearts a little while ago. This time I bought them , 3 books of beautifully intricate Chinese paper cuts. I found even more intricate ones here and a curious mixture of classic and modern ones on this page. I came accross them last weekend on one of the stalls in Little Venice while viewing the Canalway Cavalcade 2013. I might try my hand with this butterfly tutorial I found online, or perhaps this traditional double happiness symbol. More tutorials here.

Canalway Cavalcade 2013
El fin de semana pasado nos acercamos a Little Venice a ver la Canalway Cavalcade 2013. Una procesion de barcazas en el canal. Me gustan lo coloridas que son, los nudos y las banderolas que usan para adornarlas. Hasta hay llego, no creo que aguantaria vivir en un espacio tan reducido.
Last weekend we went to Little Venice to see the Canalway Cavalcade. I like seem how brightly decorated they are, with all the painted pots, bunting and al the knots. I only enjoy seem them, I don't think I could live in one.

Macaroneando - Macaroning
Aprendiendo
a hacer macarones parisinos que pase la mañana del sabado por Islington, en TheMake Lounge. Siempre pense que serian
dificiles de hacer, pero la profesora era tan buena que consiguio que incluso
los mios salieran bonitos. Y es que meti la pata y mezcle el azucar y el huevo
del merengue antes de montar las claras... Ahora toca practicar para no repetir errores.
Saturday
morning spent at The Make Lounge learning to make french macaroons . I though they will be difficult to make, but
our teacher was so good that even after
I made the mistake of adding sugar to the egg whites before beating them, but I still got nice looking macaroons.
Now to practice to avoid mistakes.

Pantalones cortos a ganchillo - Crochet Shorts
No se yo si me da la aficion al ganchillo para tanto. Y es que soy demasiado practica y la ropa de playa la prefiero sencilla, sin rebuscamientos y que no requiera cuidados especiales. Claro que alargandoles la pierna, tejiendolos en negro y forrandolos a contraste quedarian unos palazzo de noche originales. De todas formas si a alguien le gustan aqui los venden y en Outstanding Crochet muestran el patron.
I like crochet, but my practical nature does insists on the easy to care nature of beach clothes. Personally I will do some alterations to them : lengthening the leg and adding contrasting lining will make some interesting evening palazzo troussers. I came accross them and their pattern on the Outstanding Crochet blog, less patient fans can buy them here.
