Hello my friends,
Just a quick post in between. Can you guess what these will become?
I am playing with airdrying clay and have started making six items tbat used to be commonplace in households all over Europe and America.
It may not look much now but it should look a whole lot better by the time I have finished them.
I will give you a hint. The name of this item (in English) is used a lot nowadays in relation to the covid pandemic. But the finished item is not a medical device.
Intrigued? Care to have a guess? The first to give the right answer below will get little gift. Free of charge for I will pay the costs for shipping it to the lucky winner.
Good luck,
Huibrecht
Pues ni idea, pero si que estoy muy intrigada.
ReplyDeleteGosh Huibrecht - you have me puzzled??? I have no idea what those fancy looking things might be. I can't wait to find out.
ReplyDeleteAh, thus far you are all playing safe I see! I will give you a hint. The final objects that these slabs of clay will become could often be found near fireplaces....

Allereerst van harte gefeliciteerd, Hubert, ik wens jou een hele mooie en fijne verjaardag toe!
ReplyDeleteNa een paar dagen van (wéér) geen updates, rollen er nu een paar mijn Blogger dashboard op, zo ook deze van jou...
Het eerste wat me te binnen schoot was: dragertjes (voor bijv. bloempotten), maar het kan ook goed wat anders zijn. Ik heb ook geen flauw benul hoe ze dan vertaald in het Engels heten, hihihi.
Leuk, zo'n raadseltje, om de dag mee te beginnen, nu ben ik wakker en is mijn "grijze massa" aan het werk gezet, nu de rest van mij nog ;O).
Nogmaals: een hele mooie dag, maak er wat van!
Blijf veilig, zorg goed voor elkaar.
Groetjes,
Ilona
I really love riddles - but I have to quit on this one. ;O) My first thought just looking at the pictures was "violin/cello/bass piece"... you know, this wooden part holding the strings up where the bow is pulled. *LOL* But this wouldn't fit neither to your hints nor to your project as I suppose your Manor will not host a chamber orchestra. I'v read in your response that your objects are related to fireplaces but I still don't get it... well, I can happily blame my poor Engllish for that, lean back comfortably and wait for the solution of this riddle. But one thing is already pretty clear - those pieces are very well made, I would go nuts if I had to make cutouts like that from a small piece of clay! ;O)

Fire screens?
ReplyDeleteDear Huibrecht, I have NO Idea what these fascinating shapes will become! I eagerly await enlightenment! :):)
ReplyDeleteIs it a curfew, or couvre feu in the French, used to protect the hearth from sparks from the fire at night?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! You have guessed correctly Jonquil. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI will send you an email, and very soon I will post here about the curfew's that I am making.
