Charming chickens from Lydia Calambet

I've wanted to make chicken for a long time. Once I even kept it on the farm, but that was in the past. Hens exude some kind of warmth and comfort, the beginning of life. They can be filled with the aroma of herbs or vanilla.

I also wanted to work on cold porcelain, sculpt figurines or flowers, but my hands never reach, but cold. porcelain has already been welded... and it turned out to be of such high quality. What a life... no time... no hands...

The idea came to combine these two materials: fabric and porcelain, thereby saving the hall. porcelain from an imminent release and embodying the idea with chickens .. One evening, sitting right at the computer, in one fell swoop, I stuck beaks for chickens and eyes with beads. The next day it was all dry and you could work. Since I basically do not use other people's patterns, I developed my own, not complicated, but quite effective. I dug up the necessary pieces in a huge box with patches and started sewing. On the pattern, two types of wings are given: overhead and sewn-in. Both of them look good. It is not difficult to sew large parts, and the rest is superimposed on top and sewn or glued. These are my test specimens, now I will refine and improve (after all, the stuck beaks and eyes have already been prepared), which I advise you. The bottom can be made by sewing on a covered piece of a circle made of cardboard or plastic. There will definitely be a chicken coop in my kitchen! The seams and the connection of overhead parts can be tinted with coffee, cinnamon with cocoa or ordinary pastel. And ... enjoy life and your fragrant chicken farm.

Tilda toys are a charming home decoration

Gizmos in this technique are easy to perform. You just need to remember a few important rules.

  • Toys are sewn from natural fabrics: linen, cotton, fleece.
  • For the body and face (muzzles, heads), it is best to use a monophonic material.
  • Clothing is sewn from fabric of any color, but it is preferable to use fabric with a small pattern.
  • The longitudinal seam of the halves of the product should run along the middle of the face or muzzle, crossing the nose.
  • Tilde dolls are traditionally made tanned, using dry blush, powder, coffee, cocoa, and finely ground pencil lead to color the fabric. Sometimes masters even apply watercolor paint or gouache with a brush to an already finished product. Animals that are made according to the canons of making dolls look original: tanned cockerels, hares, elephants touch their resemblance to bathing tildes.

Open the tilde rooster

The most important thing, without which the tilde rooster will not work, is a pattern. Having chosen the most suitable one, it should be transferred to paper, polyethylene or cardboard. Then you need to carefully cut each part separately with scissors.

If for some reason the master does not like the pattern of a rooster from fabric, for some reason, he can transfer the pattern to graph paper, and then, using the grid, draw patterns on a different scale.

Here we consider an interesting version of an interior toy. It should turn out tanned, as bathers are usually made, a cock-tilde.

Attic toy "cockerel"

If the fabric is boiled in coffee, tea or smeared with a mixture of instant coffee with cocoa powder and PVA glue before cutting, it will acquire not only a pleasant tan color, but also retain an amazing aroma. Additionally, you can add cinnamon or vanilla to this gruel. A toy sewn from the fabric obtained will not only decorate the interior, but also exude a pleasant smell of coffee, just as it happens with toys made using the attic technique.

For sewing, the same fabric is suitable, according to which it is made using the technique of tilde toys, that is, from a close to the human figure. You get a kind of cool little man with a bird's head and wings, but with wide hips and standing on long straight legs.

To give the toy stability, before sewing on the paws-feet, wooden kebab skewers are inserted into the legs from below, piercing the filler. The skewers should stick into the body of the rooster and go inside by 4-5 cm. You can use them not just one thing for each leg, but two or even three. The excess is broken off, leaving protruding tips 5-6 millimeters long for fastening with the foot.

In order for the cockerel to stand firmly on its feet, the feet can not be sewn from fabric, but molded from polymer clay, salt dough or gypsum. On the protruding ends of the skewers, not yet completely dried feet are pricked and the toy is left in a warm place. Such a rooster can stand. If the feet are made of fabric, then the cockerel will need support. It will need to be attached to something.
