I was 20 years old and living on Staten Island, New York, when the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant outside Harrisburg, PA, suffered a partial core meltdown on March 28, 1979. Had any radioactive releases occurred, they would have reached me in three days given the prevailing winds. I'd been to a couple of demonstrations before then, but my activism began in earnest after TMI (long before that acronym started standing for "Too Much Information").
I finally got around to experimenting with printing using antique letterpress letters and block printing inks. I only have the letters B N o T and y so I'm pretty limited with what I can have them say.
I sewed a vintage button right onto the card for some added texture.
Modified from the pants pattern in "Carefree Clothes for Girls." Instead of lace at the bottom, I added a little button tab to slightly cinch the pants at the bottom of the leg.

I use this camera bag as my purse because bringing along my camera somewhere is more convenient that way. also I broke a camera's lcd screen by hauling it around in the pocket of a purse. :(
anyway, the Neko Case button kept falling off. I used to have a Fox Confessor one too but it fell off and got lost. I finally found another button that I wasn't using and swapped out the backs.
the opposite side of the strap has buttons too. maybe I will show you them another time.
Hand Pumper built in 1848 by the L. Button Company of Waterford, NY and delivered by way of the Erie Canal in December of 1848 to Fort Wayne. First operated by the Germania Fire Company. Pulled on site by a dozen or more men and operated in shifts of several minutes in up and down strokes of 60+ per minute. A fascinating piece of actual local history that has been preserved for over 164 years.

Just got the pads in the mail today. I whipped up a little LED test on the breadboard to see how bright the LEDs would be - looks pretty good!
