The Schenectady OSJL's latest additions include these wire Kmart carts. While stickers were put over the KMART embossings, they did not cover up the Kmart name on the handle inserts (some were changed, while others stayed original) or child seats.

EMBOSSING is a decorative technique that consists of achieving relief motifs on the surface of the leather.
Looking close... on Friday!
{film} Another sight that's so quintessentially American, therefore exotic to me. If the Taylor Swift issue were missing, you would be hard pressed to say what era this was from.
This week is the last week of my darkroom class so I'm going to go in for 10 hours again. I spent 10 hours there last week, and 6 the previous weeks. I'm going to sign up for another class this summer so I don't forget everything I've been taught (I have a terrible memory). I'm really sad that it's coming to an end, and despite the many mistakes I made, I loved every second of it. There is nothing quite like seeing your image appear in the developing tray. One thing that'll be good about having more free time in the evenings is walking around the neighborhood with Brent. In the last week, I've walked about 20 miles, which for someone recovering from an ankle sprain is quite the feat. At night, I have to put a hot water bottle on my ankle, but the pain is very mild.
I have used the diecuts from the Antique Flowers and Butterflies to cut out some butterflies, glued 3 together and embosset with them on card stock and then stamped the butterflies
I decided to try my hand at copper tooling. I haven't done it since high school and that was a long time ago! I added a patina and sanded off the high spots to create a nice contrast and then sealed it will Renaissance wax. They are ACEO size which is 2.5" x 3.5"
Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This would technically be cast with a pattern, I believe. To the best of my knowledge, cast iron cannot be truly be embossed or stamped in any fashion. Regardless, I thought a patterned radiator in a penitentiary was curious. www.easternstate.org/

Continuing my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a visit to Bisbee Arizona. This is stage 6 of 9.
Walking around Bisbee, the Cochise County Courthouse is a compelling landmark.

1931, Roy Place. Quality Hill Rd. at Oak Ave.
"The Cochise County Courthouse is a prime example of the Southwest regional variation of the Art Deco style that was popular internationally in the interwar decades. The decorative motifs found across the elevations are stylizations of native desert flora, signifying the geophysical context of the locale; the jagged roofline is vaguely reminiscent of a Plateresque cathedral, alluding to the region’s Hispanic heritage; and the massive whitewashed walls with small apertures refer to the region’s vernacular adobe building traditions.
The seat of Cochise County’s government originally was located in nearby Tombstone, a mining encampment chosen when the county was formed in 1881. The county seat was relocated in 1929, in a move that signified the supersession of Tombstone by Bisbee. The Phelps Dodge Corporation, which owned the majority of property in Bisbee and operated the lucrative Copper Queen Mine, donated land on Quality Hill for the construction of a new courthouse. Roy Place, a leading Tucson architect who also responsible for the Spanish Colonial Revival Pima County Courthouse of 1929, designed the edifice. Governor G.W.P. Hunt delivered the keynote speech at its dedication in 1931.
"Perched on an artificial plateau, this powerful expression of governmental authority looms over the commercial core to the east. The Iron Man, a statue by Scottsdale sculptor R. Phillips Sanderson, graces the intersection in front of the building. This tribute to the town’s miners was dedicated in 1935, in a ceremony presided over by Arizona Congresswoman Isabella Greenway. The courthouse is fronted by a raised, semicircular plaza edged by a massive balustrade, accessed by two curving sets of stairs, and with a fountain at its center. From the plaza, another grand stair rises to the four-story building. The building is roofed in copper; this material, the town’s lifeblood, is used throughout the building, notably on the ornate copper doors of the main entrance, which bear stylized figures of Justice.
"The structure is symmetrical, with concrete walls that spring from a basement and rise to a stepped parapet, forming a tripartite facade in which the tall central pavilion is flanked by shorter wings. On the central pavilion, the symmetrical fenestration is separated vertically with chevron-topped pilasters. The side elevations are divided into several narrow window bays by similar pilasters, the verticality of which is mirrored by the wispy height of mature cypresses. The rectangular annex, also erected in the 1930s, is a two-story masonry addition placed to the rear and connected to the main pavilion by a wide pedestrian bridge embossed with chevrons. Its rear elevation, although much plainer than the facade, displays the same regional Art Deco detailing as the original block.
"Place’s stylized cacti designs adorn relief panels on the parapet and cornice line and the main doors, which are encased in an earthen-colored stone surround that contrasts with the whitewashed exterior; the surround holds a tympanum with stylized cacti topped by the carved reliefs of two miners, another reference to the area’s primary industry. Geometric, Art Deco lamps further embellish the exterior.
"Inside, the lobby features tile floors and marble-paneled walls with fluted marble pilasters. Decorative bronze grilles encase the windows and glazed doors. Vegetal, Art Deco-styled reliefs adorn the clerestory, between the marble pilasters. The courtrooms are minimally decorated although heavy geometrical ornamentation appears in the door surrounds and chair rails. Throughout the courthouse are examples of art funded by the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project and added several years after the building’s completion. These include A Cavalcade of Cochise County History in the lobby, a six-panel bas relief by R. Phillips Sanderson, and George Seller’s relief map of Cochise County on the second-story stair landing.
"The building remains in use as the Cochise County Courthouse.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee,_Arizona
Bisbee is a city[5] in and the county seat of Cochise County[6] in southeastern Arizona, United States. It is 92 miles (148 km) southeast of Tucson and 11 miles (18 km) north of the Mexican border.
Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine.
Natural vegetation around Bisbee has a semi-desert appearance with shrubby acacia, oak and the like, along with cacti, grass, ocotillo and yucca. The town itself is much more luxuriant with large trees such as native cypress, sycamore and cottonwood plus the introduced ailanthus and Old World cypresses, cedars and pines. Palms are capable of growing tall, but are not reliably hardy. At least one mature blue spruce may be seen.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisbee_Historic_District
The Bisbee Historic District is a historic district located in Bisbee, Arizona, and has all the essential features of a prosperous, early twentieth century mining town.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[2] The district has 80 contributing buildings, with various architectural styles including Colonial Revival, Mission Revival/Spanish Revival, and Italianate architecture.[2]
Haiku thoughts:
Dusty streets wind tight,
Colors spill from old brick walls,
Echoes of the past.

TFL!
I discovered something new - making texture with burlap and I shared a tip on the A Blog Named Hero: ablognamedhero.blogspot.com/2013/01/embossing-with-burlap... I also stamped with HA ink pad (Tide Pool) for the first time and I totally fell in love - what a quality!!! I need to build my collection slowly...
A rather daring step covering my beautiful clay with black embossing powder! This picture was taken immediately after they came out of the oven.

These cupcakes were donated to a charity event for tonight in Gosport UK.
They will be put into a raffle. All monies will be going to Gosport local "Harbour Cancer Support Centre" & "MacMillan".
These voluptuous beauties are light Vanilla sponge with a more than generous helping of buttercream all covered with an embossed circle of fondant and topped with a single large bloom.
I think I'm getting the hang of this. I'm not looking to set a certain mood, but that's my view. I get the feeling I know how people will see this image, and that's cool.
