Happy Handicrafts

We are busy working through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin, as we learn about clay modelling. Today, we will be making a clay model of an onion, which is model #13. I guess we're working through all of the fruits and veggies! So far we've made an orange, an apple, a plum, a pear, a lemon, a pea pod, and a tomato. For this model, we went picked up a nicely shaped onion at the grocery store. It will serve two purposes - a model for our clay modelling, and then dinner. Materials Needed The book, A...

The slip stitch in crochet is one of the most basic stitches, yet somehow we have not addressed it - until today. This very simple stitch is occasionally used when finishing off, when intentionally creating a hole (such as the handle seen in the image below), or when creating different designs. Materials Needed Crochet Hook Yarn Happy Handicrafts Video: How to do a Slip Stitch - the EASIEST Stitch in Crochet The slip stitch in crochet begins exactly like a single crochet.

I hope you were following along with us as we make a clay model of a saucer in our last post. Today's model is meant to be made along with the saucer, as they are two pieces of a matching set. The clay model of a plant pot that we will be making today is model #12 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. Along with making the saucer, making these two models are the first time that we are creating an object without an original piece to copy. This makes the process more creative and...

Today we will be making model #11 from the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. This lesson is a clay model of a saucer, which is meant to be made simultaneously with model #12, which is a plant pot. Although we made them together, we will be demonstrating them separately in our videos. While working our way through this book, we've noticed that the author typically introduces at least one new and different skill with each lesson. This time is the first time that we are making something without an original object to copy. This adds...

DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE PDF PATTERN HERE As I wind down our crochet handicraft series, I was trying to think of a worth-while project to make that would incorporate several different stitches, while still being fairly quick and easy to make. It didn't take long. I immediately thought of these crocheted baby shoes. They are my go-to for shower gifts. Not only are they a great gift, but they can also serve as a gift embellishment, taking the place of a bow. They are quick to make, consisting of only seven rows. And they are quite...

We are officially 1/6 of the way through the book, A Manual of Clay-Modelling by Unwin. We've questioned ourselves a few times as to why we decided to do this video series. There are 60 models in this book - and we are determined to do every single one of them. It was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting down looking over this book, feeling rather overwhelmed. But as with anything, when you break it up into small pieces, it becomes very do-able. Not only that, but it is important to us to do...
