I visited my friend Jeroen to for some drinks and to give him his very late birthday gifts. I gave him socks and the drawing from last post, and,, I think he was very pleased with the gift.
And he also had a gift for me.
Jeroen is not just my friend and an interesting person, this man is the creator of the Munnen.
Munnen can best be described as,,,, ehh,, well just check them out on http://jompie.deviantart.com/
Inspired by his creatures and a Mun made of fabric a friend of his created, I decided to make my own Mun in crochet. I made the shape first and after that I put on the black lines with a sewing needle. Maybe not the straightest line but I like it still ^^
As I am getting better at the technique of crochet it was time to go free-form and create the shape without any guides, and it worked out really well!

Another thing I created this weekend was a bracelet.
I found an interesting braiding technique called Kumihimo. By using a tool called the Kumihimo board you can lock the different strands of wire. When you move the wires in a certain order a nice tight
braid can be made, this technique works on a lot of different materials which makes it very interesting.
As I do not own a Kumihimo board I created my own from some Styrofoam (but for next time I will make a cardboard one) and an ornament to weigh the braid down. I used embroidery thread because of the brilliant colors, I found the braid a little too thin and therefor I decided to braid around a thick piece of string.
I am pleased with the result, when you get the hang of it the technique is quite easy and I definitely think I will use this technique another time.
As I left the bracelet(/friendship band) at the party I can only show a picture of the Styrofoam creation and the colors I used. Sorry for that ^^

And sunday was a day of rest. A lot of sleep and slowly cleaning out my room.For some reason I decided to move a little cupboard from the wall in an angle in the corner and it changed the whole feel of the room, maybe some sort of positive feng shui? I don't know :)
The creation of the day was an old cute silverish necklace I had tweaked by adding a red heart-shaped bead.. As my mood always changes the way I look to color, now that Springtime is so near somehow my colorstyle of the moment is very orangy/ red, any color in that range.
Might be noticeable in the things I create, who knows!
