Hit by an inspiration particel

Filed under: life in general — mycraftsdenmark @ 1:00 am

When I am half asleep, either morning or night – Ideas sometimes come streaming faster than I can grab hold of them.
I try to always keep a notebook and pen with me, to make notes and sketches.
Last night I was a bit sick and ended up on the sofa downstairs, gazing at the bright stars while dozing off – when suddenly I was hit by this, my first poem EVER:

All or Nothing

We come from Nothing
- or All
From the twinkling stars and cosmic clouds
- we were born
We are like a bubble in the midst of infinity
And when it burst, we become Nothing
- or All

Og på dansk:

Alt eller Intet

Vi kommer fra Intet
- eller Alt
I lysende stjerner og kosmiske tåger
- blev vi født
Vi er som en boble midt i uendeligheden
Og når den brister bliver vi til Intet
- eller Alt

Sterling knitting needles

Filed under: Jewelry — mycraftsdenmark @ 12:24 pm

I just finished 3 sets of sterling silver knitting needles, they are being sent to their new owners today. Pictures doesn’t really show how they are – very difficult to photograf shining jewellry with a household camera.

They are made of hammered sterling silver 925, mounted with silver beads.
The silver rods are carefully hammered three times, this is to harden the metal and what makes the unique surface – before the tip is shaped, and all the finishing is done.
Note the shape of the tip – this makes them excellent to use for lace work etc., where you often knit stitches together.
The size is 3 mm, they are app. 20 cm long.

Extravagant?
You bet!

Do I make more?
Yes, after christmas.

Are they expensive?
YES!!
These are 700 D.kr a pair..
