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.

A very cool day here in the Phoenix area left Jasper with EXTRA energy. He's got a lot of energy when it's over 100F (38C), but get the temp down to 60F (16C) and he's unstoppable. Off to the park for some ball and frisbee. Watch me fly!!!

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!

LI train Extra 401 West leads a test train consisting of EMD DE30AC's 401/409, Amtrak's "Corridor Clipper" geometry car, and an LI C3 bilevel coach. Apparently there were Amtrak personnel on board the 10002, overseeing the geo car do various tests to see whether Amtrak direct service to Montauk is a feasible option for the upcoming future.
