Hopefully someone in the nursing home with you can show you how to do it. In the meantime, are these the two you were mentioning? They’re lovely, if these are the ones you made.

My woven handmade cards reached their recipients in Handmade RR


It’s a quite meditative process and once I figured out the best technique and how is best to hide the knots, I just continued to making this one :slight_smile:

Steckt da ein echter Teebeutel drin? Sieht schön aus! :slightly_smiling_face:

In English: Is there a real teabag insides? It looks beautiful.

Yes, there are two real teabags insided the coffee mug. Earl Grey and green tea. Haven’t tried any of these yet and think I might leave them untouched, as they are part of the art for me…

Though the green tea is with elderflower taste - I’m curious to see what it’s like!

I am so truly happy that you could upload two of my several handmade postcards. Yes :smiley::relaxed:,those were made by me. “A special smile” was sent to a Russian member bearing in mind the bad moments caused by the war. The postcard with F is just the first letter of my christian name. But my two uploaded cards will be seen on my Flickr gallery. Do you mind to have a look?. A big thank you for your response that is so encouraging. Regards, Francisco
