METTE MEHLSEN est Danoise et a toujours été passionnée par l'artisanat textile.

Outre la teinture de fils végétaux, la création de dessins et l'enseignement de l'artisanat du textile,
elle travaille avec des objets d'histoire culturelle dans un musée en plein air local.
 
Sa passion pour la teinture végétale s'est réellement manifestée au musée après avoir manipulé des textiles teints avec des plantes du XIXe siècle.
Elle a toujours pensé que cela lui donnerait une compréhension plus profonde d'un métier en pouvant l'explorer à la fois théoriquement et pratiquement.
 
C'est pourquoi elle a commencé à expérimenter la teinture végétale de son propre fil il y a environ huit ans.
Elle a alors découvert rapidement que l'art de la teinture végétale offrait des milliers de possibilités - et un nouveau monde s'est ouvert à elle.
 
Aujourd'hui, son fil est teint avec des plantes, qu'elle cueille dans la nature dans la partie ouest du Jutland, au Danemark.
Elle récolte les plantes au début, au milieu et à la fin de la saison, ainsi que elle collecte suffisamment pour teindre à tout moment de l'année.
Je complète les plantes récoltées avec de la cochenille, de la garance et de l'indigo.
 
Elle mène toujours des expériences dans son atelier, ce qui la rend plus expérimenté dans les procédés des couleurs.
Une couleur peut varier beaucoup, selon le moment de la saison où elle teint avec la plante et si elle fermente la préparation de couleur.
Elle teint aussi toujours dehors à l'air frais où elle a son atelier.
Ainsi, elle a pu faire l'expérience que les résultats de la teinture à l'indigo varient par temps glacial ou plus chaud.
 
Pour Mette, il est fascinant de tirer le meilleur parti des ressources naturelles. Et c'est pourquoi elle essaie toujours de laisser la nature aussi intacte que possible lorsqu'elle récolte : elle ne prélève jamais toutes les plantes ou ne touche pas les racines, afin qu'elle puisse refleurir les années suivantes.

La laine utilisée par Mette provient d'Allemagne et est certifiée bio.
Son rapport poids métrage est de 1400m/100GR

Les pelotes vendues font 5gr pour 65-70 mètres.
Vous pourrez crocheter cette laine en 2 ou la tricoter en 2, 2.5 ou 3 (tout dépend du résultat souhaité).

Pour une écharpe tricotée, mesurant par exemple 165 x 23 cm, il faut compter 100 à 120 gr de laine.

J'ai essayé de réaliser des Sets harmonieux.
Ils seront notamment parfaits pour réaliser le modèle d'écharpe Simply No.1 de Mette Mehlen

Perfect Combo of Fun and Serious
Format: Kindle
This story was the perfect combination of humor and seriousness. I, even as an adult, remember some of those same feelings and the drama of junior high years. It made me take a look even at myself and ask what I look for in people? It made me ask myself if I need to reach out and apologize. But it also ales me want to do better. Step away from social media. When on social media, make sure I think about my comments and how they can be construed or make people feel. Help my nieces and nephews compliment actions and other such areas and not looks. To look deeper into a person. Well written. Lots of fun. And just what I needed in a book. Chad Morris and Shelly Brown do it again.

Great book with great lessons I want all my kids to learn.
Format: Hardcover
A fun book about kids going to “virtual” school during the pandemic, but like, the coolest virtual school I’ve ever heard of. They use VR headsets to attend from the comfort and safety of their own home, and because it’s a digital world, they have the opportunity to re-invent themselves with customizable avatars. Some go as themselves, some simplify, and some go all-out for reasons that come out as the story progresses. As three students learn to navigate a new school, new friends, and new challenges they learn life lessons that I wish I could drill in to my budding teenagers. This was a fun, quick story that I’m enjoying reading to my middle grade children. I finished it on my own after bedtime because I couldn’t put it down. My eyes may have leaked a few times, but knowing Chad and Shelly’s other wonderful books, it didn’t surprise me in the least that I was so moved. 4.5 stars because some of the VR descriptions don’t mesh with real life VR capabilities (i.e. the motion sickness that would have plagued every kid the way the games/classes were described), but bonus points for the imagination and creativity in creating the school we all wish we could have attended. (If we couldn’t get in to Cragbridge that is…) 😉👍🏻 Thanks for another great book that I’m eager to put into my kids hands.

A middle grade read with great messages!
Format: Hardcover
“‘And I learned that being good is a lot more important than looking good.’ I took a deep breath. ‘I know, it sounds like a fridge magnet, but it’s true.’ Me. No filter. Smiling.” Virtually Me is a clever, heartfelt, realistic fiction middle grade readers will enjoy! Three Jr. High students share their hopes, fears, and deepest secrets as they attend an experimental virtual school during the 2021 pandemic year. Through their experiences, they learn valuable lessons about self acceptance, valuing things other than appearance, reinvention, second chances, and true friendship. It’s a thoughtful story with great messages. There are even references to K-pop! Bradley, Hunter, and Edelle all have their own reasons for attending virtual school. Ever since having a mean prank pulled on him in 3rd grade, Bradley has withdrawn himself and tried to remain in the background. He longs for friendship and acceptance. His secret dreams of sharing his talent for dancing and love of K-pop remain hidden. Attending virtual school gives him an opportunity to reinvent himself. He can design his avatar any way he wants and create a new, more hip persona. Hunter is hiding a secret from his friends. He’s experiencing a form of alopecia most likely alopecia areata and is embarrassed about his patchy hair loss. He’s extremely competitive and for one so focused on appearance and winning, this trial is extremely difficult. Virtual school allows him to be his popular, competitive self yet hide his real appearance. But, his drive to win may just be his downfall. Edelle is attending virtual school because her mom hopes to convince her that appearances aren’t everything. For the popular girl who lives for likes on social media, being forced to adopt a plain avatar and miss out on in person school is going to be difficult. Edelle is in for a huge shock when she learns what it’s like to be just average looking. When her supposed best friend who fawned all over her in real life doesn’t recognize her or give her the time of day, she has to decide what real friendship is. This is one of the first middle grade books I’ve seen that subtly addresses the pandemic and what kids were going through during that time. I loved the lessons each kid learns as they navigate online school The virtual setting allowed the kids to really explore who they were. I liked how each one had a different problem to overcome which made them easily relatable. I also loved Jasper. He’s the glue that keeps everyone together and when you learn his reason for attending virtual school, it really drives home the messages the authors were trying to convey throughout. It’s well written, fun, and even enjoyable for adults to read. This is definitely one book I’d recommend to ages 10 and up. I received advanced complimentary copies from the publisher and NetGalley. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review. 4 1/2 stars

Virtual reality school!
Format: Hardcover
This book explores the idea of an online school that looks and feels like a regular school but is attended from your own home while wearing a VR headset. The reader experiences it through the eyes of five very different kids: Bradley Horvath is full of personality but has always been picked on or ignored because he is overweight. Until he changes the appearance of his avatar and goes by Daebak nobody knows that he loves K-pop, dancing, and is fun to be around. I loved getting to know Bradley and liked him from the first page. Edelsabeth/Edelle Dahan-Miller has the opposite situation as Bradley. She is beautiful and popular, so nobody sees her for who she is inside. Her mom requires her avatar to be plain so she will learn to focus on other people and not just on looking cute. She is embarrassed and doesn’t want anyone to know it’s her so she changes her name to Vanya. Hunter Athanasopoulos plays lacrosse and loves to be the center of attention but doesn’t want kids to find out he now has bald spots from alopecia. He doesn’t want to be judged by his hair loss even though he judges everyone else based on their appearance and is only kind to people who are beautiful and popular. Jasper is known for the yellow tracksuit he wears. He is kind, a peacemaker, and brings people together. He likes soccer and video games but attends virtual school for health reasons. Keiko is the least developed character, but I would like to know more about her. She is moody, doesn’t talk much or show emotion, and is good at art. I enjoyed reading this book. It pulls the reader in and keeps you there with fun descriptions. The kids trade off telling the story with each chapter in a chatty conversational way, so it never gets tedious or boring. It has a feel-good happy ending and teaches kids lessons along the way like what being a true friend means and seeing the people around you for who they are. 5 big stars! Thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing for an ARC to use for my review.
