Two Molys on Key- words & dreams
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under comics and sketches, moly x project
I post two Molys in one post – was on a roll :)
Keyboard dreams (Lotta’s Moly) & Keyboard Keywords (Lisa’s Moly)
Left: I don’t think I need to give you many hints of what this sketch is all about :) Working a lot nowadays……dreaming of other things. Is it textile or lettuce?? :)
Right: Since I’m on a roll with the keyboard keys. I zoomed in a bit and made my letters for Lisa’s Moly.
Notice that J has less keywords for me than the others…strange. But maby there are less words starting with J in Swedish.
Translation: J – juggle, hunted, me, aha?, work, compare, YES!, jumbo jet, java/coffee, jogging, baby talk, Japan, S:t Jacobi (highschool/college), Earth, damnit!, hurray, tricot(fabric), jeans?(haven’t worn any since 1998), fighter aircraft.
K – Coffee, cottage cheese, kiss, love, art, cookie dough, kids(children), driving licence, friend, career, money, maybe, capable, party, cross-stitch, cognitive, concept, catalyst, cramp, kitsch , cat.
L – read, Saturday, long, happiness, ridiculous, vivid, life, summer home, peace & quiet , fun, scarry, time of work, langett(stitch), lego, live, light, sound, lumen, temperament , learn.

Moly_x_16 (Maria's Theme climate Moly)
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under moly x project
Maria’s Theme climate Moly:
It’s one part paper & one part fabric in this Moly. I worked from a couple of sentences. On the embroidered ”drawing” it sais in Swedish: ”Eating organic, recycles the morningpapers and buying fairtrade”. Last sentence: ”but it’s still a rainy summer…”
The embroidery shows empty childfood jars with an organic brand from Denmark called Hipp, which you end up with hundreds when you have an infant (very environment friendly….not….and it has traveled all the way from Denmark to Sweden…).
Drawing of pills and text: ”hight levels of anti anxiety drugs in the Stockholm tap water” and ”are you feeling happier lately?” Technique: drawing and collage. Pencil, Copic marker, white opaque, ink and Stabilo.Vacation

I’m going to bake large cakes, cupcakes and pies for my kids, make me some coffee and sit on the porch. I’m also going to bulid me a studio in the garden. Heavy duty DIY with flooring, walls and everything :)
Custom made flightcase sewing/work box
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under Uncategorized
A little bit of DIY & remake.
Took a custom made smaller flightcase, normally used for fragile music equipment when you travel on tour.
Very good for my purpose! It has a padded interior.
Starch it! Join me in new Flickr group!
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under Starch it, textile stuff that normally are not textile
You all know I have made 3D pieces with filetcrochet and sugarwater :)
Today I started a new Flickr pool called Starch it!
My plan is for you all to join in and we can explore what we can make with this technique together.
You don’t have to crochet – you can use pieces of old Doilys, filetcrocheted bedspreads & other flea market finds. We can share recipes of starch (I only know about sugar/water but I’ve heard about glue and potato/water etc)
What do you say?
I would love if you joined me ! Just email me or make a comment here with your email and I send you an invite to the group.
Kind crocheted regards from Inger Carina
The Craftzine blog liked the idea. I’m so excited!!! :) > Craftzine blog
Floral USB memory stick
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under embroidery, flowers, textile stuff that normally are not textile
A little more flowers in your life can’t hurt… can it?
Started out with a 2Gb Usb memory stick – boring boring… had to cut of a plasic bit on the end and smooth the edges with a file.
Then I crocheted tight around it in two pieces, one top & one bottom. I used embroidery yarn (Perl) multi colored green. A little bit of what I fancy = flowers. I took linnen embroidery yarn and made random tiny leafs and flowers.
Sewed them all on the crocheted USB cozy cover.
It’s working well and it nearly blends in to the floral background here on my work desk at home.
Sorry, I didn't mean to disappear

Making the stuff in your home your own style
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under Uncategorized
Sometimes you don’t want the stuff for children (or other products) they sell in the stores because it has A LOT OF strange prints that you don’t like :)
My quick tip for today is: Unpick the seams, save ribbons with buckles, elastic ribbons etc cut out new fabric from the pieces and sew it all back together again in a fabric that you like.
Maybe you have a nice fabric — make a remake.
A pram for the dolls and a bouncy seat that I’ve made new fabric for that suits better with our style & taste.

Moly project – Now with beaded sushi rice
Posted by Inger Carina | Filed under comics and sketches, embroidery, moly x project
My moly has two parts; one part with the normal paper to drew on and one part with a long piece of fabric to make something textile on. I have started with a comic type drawing of my ”not so glamorous week” with title: ”En diskbänksrealistisk vecka”.
If I translate this Swedish expression to English it would be close to: ”A kitchen-sink-realistic week” :)
