What a great opportunity to promote felt AND present a good friend with a scarf in "FeltUnited" colors on her 40th birthday!! A simple construction of yellow & red -short fiber- merino on a light yellow & red silk chiffon . I overlapped the 2 silk colors to generate some orange. I started one end with yellow wool crosswise and moved towards the other end carding more and more red into the

A new post has been long overdue and I thought that last week's silk workshop by fiber artist Renate Mail-Moskovitz would be a perfect opportunity to restart writing.....The silkworm by itself looks nothing unusual: if you are not fond of creepy-crawlers it will not be a "love at first sight"!They start out as tiny black dots and live an amazingly boring life. They feed ONLY on mulberry leaves;

Honfoglalás kori övcsat mintájaThis is the piece I made at Mehmet's class in February.The design is a belt buckle from 9th century Hungary . We used Turkish merino, and muslin fabric between the layers.My piece has natural colors except for the border.This is an orchid that Theresa started at that same workshop and I finished it ( she was way too busy to work on it) with whatever leftover I found

Magyarul ittIt is more like a winter soup and it is already spring, I agree, but it tastes delicious! I made it for a bunch of my friends for March 15th to celebrate this Hungarian National Holiday. They all loved it! For dessert we had Kürtőskalács on the grill, and that was even a bigger hit!The recipe for this soup is sooooo easy .....of course when you make it for a crowd you need to double

Here in EnglishÚgy tűnik, hogy VKF! lázban égek! Eredetileg csak 1 receptet akartam közzétenni, de Maci biztató szavaira belelkesedtem és tessék, már a harmadiknál tartok..Mit csináljak, mindig ez van, ha valami újdonság magával ragad. Ez esetben nem a sütésről-főzésről van szó, hanem a blogirásról.Régen esedékes volt, nemezügyben sokan kérdezték már hogy van-e.Aztán gondoltam, legyen egy vegyes

Here in EnglishMagyar(os) ételeket késziteni, izeket varázsolni lassan már szép hazánkban is kihivás hát még külföldön , főleg a hozzávalók hiánya miatt. Azért persze nem adja fel az ember olyan könnyen az alapanyag keresgélést a civilizáció eme szegletében (sem)! Különösen ha olyan ételről van szó, amit nagyon szeret. Bevallom nekem egyik gyengém a pogácsa. Leginkább anyám pogácsája, aki

Magyarul ittHere is something that doesn't need half a day to prepare (like this or this), yet everybody always loves it.It is not necessary a diet food, but it is ideal for people with egg allergy.....something to think about when you bake for a crowd.Heat oven to 400FMix the following ingredients together:1 lb. (450 g) farmers cheese1 lb. butter (I told you it wasn't no diet food)1 lb.

(magyarul itt)Kürtőskalács: I found many different translations on the web : chimney cake, stove cake, spit fired donuts (?) .The cylinder shape recalls the shape of the stove pipe or chimney pipe hence the name "kürtő". "Kalács" means challah. Originally it comes from Transylvania as a holiday bread/ wedding cake and lately became a real street attraction both there and in Hungary. People hardly

(here in English)Igazán nem akarok senkit elijeszteni ezzel a hosszú bejegyzéssel, de gondoltam -egy életem, egy halálom- az első VKF. receptem a kürtőskalács lesz! Ezzel aztán nem csak a "külföldieket" (jelen esetben a helyieket, New Jersey, USA) lehet elkápráztatni hanem a idelátogató honfitársainkat is...A tészta receptje elég egyszerű , ha már sütött az ember egyéb kelttésztát: kalácsot/

Here is a basic recipe for 2 pounds of flour. The time frame is just for reference. Once you get into the routine you can change the recipe and timing....1. At 7 am in a BIG bowl mix 3 c. white (bread) flour , 3 c. water,1 tsp instant yeast and 1/2 c. sourdough starter (optional, works without it, too)2. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 5-6 hours.3. At 12 am give it a good stir

We had a great class w/ Mehmet on 2/16, here in Princeton.We made a small rug/picture with vegetable dyed Turkish merino wool. Everybody had a great time!It was not just any felting class but we had some exercise as well. Rolling even a small felt like this requiers a lot of muscle power!
