Arrival Crescent Shawl Crochet Test

I love trying new patterns and stitches, and also help designers to test their ideas and patterns, and also check if there are mistakes. This assymetrical scarf was one of those tests that I was able give help and make, in return, a lovely and original piece. © Photographer: Celiaak | Agency: Dreamstime.com   I've added a tassel that made it even more original. Projetct details and photos available on Arrival Crescent Shawl ravelry project page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adoro experimentar novos trabalhos e pontos, e também ajudar os designers a testar as suas ideias e receitas, e também procurar por erros. Este cachecol assimétrico foi um desses testes onde eu pude ajudar e fazer, em troca, uma peça linda e original. Adicionei uma borla que o tornou ainda mais original.

Broken Christmas Balls

Found this 11 minutes Blender 3D: Destroy a Christmas Ornament video tutorial on Youtube, by Blender Campus, and in a snap I was smashing christmas baules on blender. Made my ball in a glass material, and changed the colour in each render. I would love to experiment with nice soft light and wooden floors, but render times on my really old pc are impossible. After rendering the image almost for 12 hours, I still had noise on the shades, and used GIMP to clear the noise on those parts, wich was tedious enough, but here is the result of my virtual smashing. Thank you Blender Campus!

Fiz a minha bola num material de vidro, e mudei a cor do vidro em cada imagem.

Blender Bezier Curve from SVG Tip

When you import a line created in .svg, Blender creates the bezier curve for you. Make or convert an image to .svg. Import the .svg file on Blender Go to Panel BezierCurve and in Geometry set Extrude: 0 to Extrude: 0.01 or other value, if necessary. On Object Mode press ALT + C and select Mesh from Curve/Meta/Surf/Text and your model is ready for further operations. It may be really small and hard to see when we import it. Scale it up. You can change the color in the material settings or press the "-" to remove the material. ________________________________________________________ Quando importamos uma linha criada em .svg, o Blender cria a curva bezier a partir dela. Fazer ou converter uma imagem em .svg Importa o ficheiro .svg para o Blender Vai ao painel de Curvas Bezier, in na Geometria mudar Extrude:0 para Extrude 0.01 ou outro valor, se necessário.

Plasticine pig stop motion animation

A little pink plasticine pig stop motion animation. How I made the pig from a plasticine ball? I didn't. I inverted the order of the pictures to create the illusion of a pig rising from a ball . The pig was squezed in to a plasticine ball and not the inverse. Click on the image to see the animation. © Animation: Celia Ascenso | Agency: Dreamstime.com Plasticine pig stop motion animation Uma animação em Stop Motion  de um porquinho de plasticina cor de rosa. Como é que eu fiz o porco a partir de uma bola de plasticina? Não fiz. Inverti a ordem das fotografias para criar a ilusão de um porco a formar-se a partir de uma bola. O porco foi esborrachado até ficar uma bola de plasticina, e não o inverso. Carregar na imagem para ver a animação.

Blender Snowman Winter Card

Thanks to the tutorials that Oliver Villar from Blendtuts.com have made, I created this winter snowman card in Blender. I'm happy with the result, considering a fact that I am a complete Blender begginer. I have more blender projects on the oven. I call it oven because my PC is really old and is running for hours and hours, hours and more hours to produce a single image. But then, we got to work with the tools we have, right? So, here is the result of perseverance: © Image : Celia Ascenso | Agency: Dreamstime.com Snowman Smiling Christmas Card Graças aos tutoriais que Oliver Villar de Blendtuts.com fez, criei este cartão de boneco de neve no Blender. Estou satisfeita com os resultados, considerando que sou uma iniciante no Blender. Tenho mais projetos em Blender no forno. Chamo-lhe forno também porque o meu computador é mesmo velho, e está a processar uma simples imagem durante horas, horas e mais horas. Mas temos que trabalhar com as ferramentas que demo

Short poncho neckwarmer

The short poncho neckwarmer uses bulky/super bulky yarn and it is a quick pattern to make.   If you choose a thinner yarn, it will be smaller and will fit children too.   The model is strechy enough to fit over the shoulders with or without a coat.   The flower is optional, it can be changed for any other motif or flower you wish to use. Skill Level: Easy Time to Complete: 2-3 hours Materials Needed:   10 mm hook or suitable for the yarn chosen   200 gr of bulky yarn - around 200 meters. Size using Super Bulky yarn: Top circumference: 56 cm - 22 inches; Height: 37 cm - 14,5 inches; Bottom circumference: 140 cm - 55 inches. Make sure the starting chain fits you head, if not, the yarn is not bulky enough. Use double strands of yarn or choose a bulkier yarn.

Hourglass Time Passing Animation

This week I sold my very first Synfig animation, and that simple fact made me very happy. I also made the happy dance.   Not that it is a great work of art, rather it is a simple whimsical hourglass. But well, I love hourglasses, animation, and colors, so here it is and it worked out for someone too! So incorporate in your life little things that you like and not just what is expected from you and you create more happyness for sure, for you and others! This is a still, but if you follow the link, you can see it moving. Esta semana vendi a minha primeira animação criada com o Synfig, e este simples facto fez com que me sentisse muito feliz.

Victorian tunisian crochet wrist warmer bracelet

My computer has been broken, but not my heart.  I can't create images or do photo editing, so I use that extra time to do other things I love, like crochet-as-you-go or, as commonly known, freeform crochet. I was trying some gauges for a Tunisian crochet blanket I'm starting to work on a CAL, and decided not to frog the experiment, because the piece had a inner bracelet spirit calling for me. Then, I added a picot and two cords in the end and made this wrist warmer bracelet. I think it has a Victorian feel, even if the wool is too thick. Lets call it a not-so-delicate Victorian emmo bracelet.  It can warm my coffee glasses too, when it is not warming my wrists! O meu computador tem estado avariado, mas não o meu coração. Por isso não posso criar imagens ou editar fotografias, e então uso esse tempo livre para fazer outras coisas que gosto, como por exemplo, crochet freeform. Estive a experimentar algumas agulhas para fazer uma mantinha em crochet
