In need ...

for a new storage box!
Visiting the Oxfam thriftshop I ran into this treasure. In fact I wasn't looking for this at all, so it surely made my day!


 All the packages where a mix of old threads, between size 30/3 and 100/3


 After selection: this is what I can work with.


All large bobins, not all of them are silk, but the colors are very nice and it's easier to work with then the bobins that only have 10m on it.
Amman, Zwicky, Guetermann, Mercifil, Molnlycke all size 30/3

Minimalism


 Minimalism in materials: just a crochet needle, some real silk thread and a metal ring.



 Minimalism in implementation

Gütermann silk

Looking on the internet for silk thread by Gütermann (to crochet) I ran into a spanish fishermanswebsite ... as they also use this silk to make the body of the 'Moscas Ahogadas' !
Very fine and crafty work to seduce fishes :-)

A birthday present that made me very happy !


My friend found this on ebay : old vintage boxes with silk cordonnet thread ! Super ! I also made a first crochet bead with a combination of these colors.
And she also gave me a milkfoamer so I can drink my coffee as you can see with lots of  foam !
Njammie !

Nog af te werken








Heb nog het een en ander liggen wat ik moet afwerken en wat ik al heb samengelegd om er dan iets mee te maken.  Meer dan inspiratie genoeg, maar tijd tekort !
