I just handed in my midterm grades. Now I have to finish up my bookstore order which is due by tomorrow night.
Ich habe eben gerade meine Zwischennoten für das Semester abgeben und arbeite jetzt an der neuen Buchbestellung für das Frühjahr. Die muß morgen abgegeben werden.
Flora and Miriam have been collecting beautiful legs and then preserving them in wax.
Flora und Miriam haben bunte Herbstblätter gesammelt und sie in flüssiges Wachs getaucht, damit sie länger halten.
Those leaves will look beautiful as window art or hung on string as a mobile. Well done with all the grading and I hope you were successful in your bookstore order xx
ReplyDeleteI think so too! I have to take a picture once Flora is done decorating her room. I did place my bookstore order. Now I have to teach one more day before we get a two-day fall break. Hopefully I will be able to comment on your new blogposts and also answer all my comments here!
DeleteEnjoy the little break xx
DeleteThanks so much, San.
DeleteI love the leaves dipped in wax. Is it simply beeswax, or is it mixed with something? It is dark so early here but I suppose we will change soon so that it is lighter in the morning. I miss the morning light.
ReplyDeleteOh, we always use whatever we have on hand. This was a mix of old beeswax candles and regular paraffin candles. So true, it is so hard to get up in the mornings. I guess we have to wait two more weeks for that to change.
DeleteWill they string them to hang?
DeleteThey did!
DeleteI think I would like to try doing this. Could you post a photo of their strand?
DeleteI will! I do think that 100 % beeswax preserves the colors best.
DeleteGood to note . . and I do have a big chunk of beeswax.
DeletePerfect! It is also important to use leaves that are not too dry.
DeleteThanks for the tip!
DeleteYou are welcome!
DeleteDas mit dem flüssigen Wachs ist ja toll. Diese Art Blätter haben wir hier natürlich nicht.
ReplyDeleteIst ganz einfach und sehr effektiv. Die schönen bunten Blätter sind hier Ahornbäume, aber auch manche Eichen werden sehr bunt. Die Blätter halten bis zum Frühjahr und im nächsten Jahr kann man neue machen.
DeleteDas hört sich gut an. Und was dekoriert ihr damit?
DeleteOh, Flora bastelt damit Girlanden für ihr Zimmer. Sieht hübsch am Fenster aus.
DeleteDas denke ich mir.
DeleteIch muß sie fotografieren.
DeleteDas ist eine gute Idee. Freue mich schon auf das Foto.
DeleteHoffentlich denke ich morgen daran.
DeleteJetzt schläft Flora.
DeleteKeine Eile.
