Awr amatur ~ Amateur hour


“Time eventually positions most photographs, even the most amateurish, at the level of art.”

Gwnes i gynnydd gyda 'strikers' fy nhrwm heddiw. Torrais i ffelt mewn pedwar stribedi ac yna lapio'r stribedi o gwmpas y cordyn plethedig. Rhoais i glud ar y ffelt wrth i mi ei rholio i wneud y 'striker'. Yna roedd rhaid i mi dynnu'r cordyn trwy'r ffabrig handlen drwm. Yfory bydd rhaid i mi wnïo'r handlen yn dynn eto. Gwaith wedi'i wneud.

Rydw i'n wastad yn teimlo fel amatur gyda chrefftwaith gyda deunydd - brethyn ayyb. Yn ffodus mae Nor'dzin gyda fi yma a hi yw'r 'ferch ddeunydd' gwreiddiol, mor rhugl gyda brethyn. Tra roeddwn i'n gweithio ar y drwm, roedd Nor'dzin yn rhoi llewys i mewn i ffrog dilewys... Cymhleth iawn, meddyliais i, ond mae hi ei wedi edrych yn syml.

Beth bynnag, roeddwn i'n hapus gyda fy nhipyn bach o waith ac rydw i'n edrych ymlaen at ei gorffen.

I made progress with my drum ‘strikers’ today. I cut felt into four strips and then wrapped the strips around the braided cord. I put glue on the felt as I rolled it to make the 'striker'. Then I had to pull the cord through the drum handle fabric. Tomorrow I will have to sew the handle tight again. Job done.

I always feel like an amateur with craftwork with material - cloth etc. Luckily i have Nor'dzin here and she is the original 'material girl', so fluent with cloth. While I was working on the drum, Nor'dzin was putting sleeves into a sleeveless dress.. Very complicated, I thought, but she made it look simple.

Anyway, I was happy with my little bit of work and I'm looking forward to finishing it.
