This is my little entry for Texting While Sewing 2. When I first read about the contest coming back, I was actually on vacation, so I wasn't sure I would be able to participate...But the temptation was just too strong!
The challenge this year was to sew a bag or pouch that incorporated a zipper and used text fabrics creatively. I don't usually actually read my text fabrics, but when I sat down to do so, it seemed like a newspaper was the best block for me to design. I'd been holding onto a small scrap of Heather Ross's farmer's market print for years and years, and decided I finally had a project worthy of it.
Drafting the paper-piecing block was interesting and an exercise in working backwards. I decided what pieces I wanted in the block, and then I measured the finished sizes of the text pieces, and then allotted space for it on my pattern. (That probably sounds completely unclear...)
The pouch pattern itself is Anna Graham/Noodlehead's tablet case from Handmade Style (just a touch smaller). I'm really really pleased with how this came out! The one thing I'm not that keen on is the bias binding -- I think I chose the right print, but diagonal prints always come out a little boring when you cut them on the bias!
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

Another of my sunlight manipulations, using two prisms and a plastic fresnel magnifying lens. Magenta is an extra-spectral colour- It is not found in the visible spectrum. It is only seen when red and blue wavelengths of light are mixed with an absence of green. I carefully position the two prisms in the path of an isolated shard of sunlight, so that the blue and red ends overlap. I then fold the fresnel lens over on itself and use it to distort the shape of the light, projecting the final image on to a white surface for imaging.
Slight crop and curves adjusted in post. Note to self: turn down the ISO! I need to try this with mirror film instead of a frenel lens and bounce it straight on to the sensor refractograph style.

Plow extra 202 crosses the Mill River in Cuttingsville VT as it clears the line between Rutland and Bellows Falls. March 9th 2013.
My FL order, a fullset LTF Rose, plus a tan puki piki and extras, including the MNF Sarang head (which my mum, DaisyLady, is keeping) arrived at her house in Canada. I am in China until July, so she sent me some pics see them and to post!
Here are the extras. :)
Sometimes one scoop just doesn't cut it.
The image is a composite of three shots, one for each spoon, that I merged together with Photoshop. I also lightened the image and amped up the colour on the coffee. The background is just a thin white piece of card board that I curved underneath the cup. I often use this setup for close ups of objects as it takes out corners and distracting background. I had two reflective umbrella lamps to minimise harsh shadows. You can see in the lamps reflected in the back inner edge of the cup. The camera was sitting on a tripod and I snapped 67 shots before I thought I had the three shots that I needed. Set up, shooting and cleaning up all the frickn spilt coffee took about half an hour and another 45 minutes for the photo editing.

As a health professional I'd like to add that too much coffee can cause anxiety and paranoia (Mackay, Rollins. 1989).
