ort

Ort
What is it?
(yes I meant Ort, with an O…)

If you go by the dictionary it states that an ort 
is leftover morsels of food. I always heard it used 
in sewing circles as leftover threads, scraps or the 
container to put them in.

I like this definition best;
Ort \¨òrt\: noun; a snippet or leftover bit of 
thread, usually resulting from a voracious 
addiction to handcrafted needlework

I started collaging a small wooden box and as 
I was working on it, it came to me that I would 
turn it into an Ort box.
So here it is;

I found a few other handmade orts for sale 
and will share them with you…

These are made from glass, wood and paper. 
So there is quite a variety in materials for
the few I found.

All of these are beautiful and would serve 
the purpose they are intended for very well
or they would look nice just displayed.
