Entre las personas que, inexplicablemente, se interesaron por mi hay una chica finlandesa cuya carta me llegó hace una semana y media. En su carta me mandó una flor de ganchillo que pienso poner en uno de mis gorros y que, cuando lo haga, os la enseñaré. En parte mi objetivo al abrir ese perfil, además de conocer gente de otros países, era contactar con gente con mis misma inquietudes e intereses y el caso es que a esta chica le gustan también las manualidades. Bingo!!
Así que por fin tengo alguien con quien intercambiar cosas, que siempre hace muchísima ilusión.
Así que cambié radicalmente el diseño mental e hice una flor, que es ya tengo algo de práctica recortándolas.
Como toque final, porque la cosa me parecía bastante sosa, pensé: "Oye, y si usas esos pegamentos de colores que se quedan tridimensionales para darle algo de gracia?" Y eso hice, aunque he aprendido que en el fieltro no se queda tridimensional, pero se queda el color, que es lo que me importaba (en un 60%).
Para ver si "funcionaba" lo probé en uno de los apasionantes libros gigantes que tengo que leerme para escribir la Biblia y hay que colocarlo con un poco de cuidado, pero queda bastante aparente y no se mueve fácilmente de su sitio.
Como me deprime ver esos libros que me amenazan constantemente, para el blog he preferido usar uno bonito y lo he puesto en mi historia favorita, la de "Voodoo Girl", porque a veces me siento bastante así xD
Cuando esté un poco más libre quiero probar a hacer otro diseño, no hay nada como no poder hacer algo para que se te ocurran mil ideas...
Ya sólo me falta escribir mi carta y esperar que le guste!!

About two months ago, or so, I was bored at work as it was one of those few days I got nothing important to do (God, I so miss those days lately...) and I remembered that, some years ago, I wrote real letters with people from other countries. A nostalgic feeling came upon me so I made myself a profile on a website that, well, is for exactly that :P
Among the people that, don't ask me why, got interested on me there's a Finnish girl whose letter reached me a week and a half ago. In her letter she sent me a crocheted flower that will go directly to one of my hats and, once I've placed it, I'll show it to you. What I meant with that profile, apart from meeting people from wherever in the broad world, was contact people that shared the same interests with me and the thing is this girl likes crafts too so, bingo!!
I wanted to send something original but, of course, time for doing what I wanted to in the first place is something I lack in life. Yesterday, suddenly, it came to my mind that I could make a bookmark out of felt. That's something original and I can make it in no time so, scissor and glue in hand, I made one with a cat on it. But I didn't like it at all, I'm sure you've observed the thing in the pics doesn't look like a cat :P So I just changed the design completely and made a flower, as I got a little practice with that.
For the final touch, because I found it quite boring, I thought: "Hey, what about using those coloured glues that stay three-dimensional after drying?" And so I did, but I learnt that no matter what, it won't stay three-dimensional on felt, but there's still the colour which is what mattered to me (in a 60%).
To check if it "worked" I used it in one of the gigantic books I need to read so I can write a brand new Bible, and it has to be placed with a little care, but it looks quite good and doesn't move from its place easily.
As I get all depressed when I look at those books that threaten my life constantly, for the blog I preferred using a nice one and I've placed the bookmark on my favourite story, the one called "Voodoo Girl", because sometimes I feel just like that :P
When I'm less busy I'd like to try out some other design, there's nothing like not having the possibility of doing something for getting thousands of ideas...
Now I just need to write the letter and hope she will like it!!
