"Kolme Muusaa" ovat tämän viikon haasteessaan vanhojen masiinoiden lumoissa. Sen kunniaksi, että sain vihdoinkin perunat istutetuiksi (kokonaista 15 kappaletta...), rakensin altsukirjaani aukeman vanhoista perunankäsittelylaitteista. Niitä ihaillessa kuluu aika mukavasti syksyyn, jolloin myöhäisperunani toivottavasti antavat runsaan sadon! - Kuvat ovat peräisin isoisältä perimästäni kirjasta "Maatalouskoneet" vuodelta 1919.The Three Muses challenged us this week with the theme "Steampunk". To celebrate my achievement of finally planting my potatoes (all 15 of them...) I made in my altered book this spread presenting some old machinery for handling potatoes. Here you can see a Potato Sorting Machine (No. 462), a Potato Washing Machine (No. 504), a Potato Smasher (No. 507), and a Potato Cooking Apparatus (No. 506). Now I'll just settle down and wait for the autumn when my potato field hopefully will give me a prosperous crop of potatoes... - These images are from my garndfather's book "Agricultural Machines", printed in 1919.
This should surely win first prize for originality this week, Eila. I loved seeing the "potato machines", and I wish you a bumper crop of potatoes this fall!

VastaaPoistaEila, how lucky you are to have such a treasure -your grandfather's book. The illustrations are wonderful. I am smiling here at the title of your pages. I love how you have worked a miracle by linking nature to steampunk. It is such an original idea and the whole effect is exquisite. Good luck with your potatoes!! (My favourite vegetable).
