Inspired by the project at metku.net/index.html?path=mods/ring-light/index_eng. Both photos combined above were of course taken with identical camera settings. This is version minus one, the proof of concept - hence the taped up battery pack (3 old 17670 lithium ions, reclaimed from a laptop battery, in series) and everything held together with epoxy resin. The centre is an empty 55mm filter ring and backing is a conveniently sized lid from a plastic tub. The two LED rings are from dealextreme.com; I used 120mm and 90mm rings, smaller sizes are also available. I wired them in parallel.

First step is to build the film/plate holder. This is the main frame, without darkslides or end caps. This holder is designed to hold wet-plate callotypes, although it can just as easily hold film or photo paper.
Two sheets of 8x10 paper are inserted in the middle section, squeezed together by two pieces of glass, with either black construction paper (film, photo paper) or ruby lith film (wet plate) between. Darkslides on either side keep the film or paper unexposed until the holder is put into the camera, at which point one is removed in preparation for exposure.
After one exposure, the darkslide is re-inserted, the holder is removed from the camera and flipped around, and the process is repeated for a second exposure.

Awhile ago, I built a lightbox to use when it was raining outside. Well, today, it rained, and rained and rained and wait, it is suppose to be like this till Dec 23rd!! I won't be having a white christmas.
This is a little idea I have had in my head after reading many a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon while growing up. Poor, unsuspecting Snowman Family. :)

I do apologize for the slight out of focus on the green snowman
Cheers

I skipped breakfast, was so hungry so I just rolled this out. It took no more than 15, ok, maybe 20 minutes. (I used store bought pesto).
Recipe:
One cup flour plus extra for rolling
One egg
Just enough milk (less than 1/4 cup)
Oil to add for boiling
A little salt
Also, you will need a clear, clean counter space and a rolling pin or glass at least 6 inches long for rolling.
Also you will need a pizza cutter.
Start a large pot of water to boiling. Make sure you do this first to ensure it's ready immediately after cutting pasta.
In a medium-sized bowl, add flour and salt , and make a well in the center. Crack in the egg, and add just a little milk. (They say use half an egg shell's worth, but I use a lot more to get dough uniform and then just add more flour as I roll.)
Mix with a fork, starting from the center, adding more milk as needed. Mix to combine so it forms a ball/lump.
Flour your working surface and rub your hands around on it to spread out the flour. Place dough on it and flatten out a little with your floured hands. Rub some flour on your glass (or rolling pin if you have one) and start rolling! Roll in every direction to make a rectangle. You don't have to make it paper-thin, but thin as possible is desirable. Sprinkle and rub more flour to dough as necessary to prevent sticking.
Trim edges a little with a pizza slicer, then "slice" your pasta into strips. I prefer uneven pieces; some thin, some very wide.
Add oil to the boiling water and bring over a few pieces at a time, making sure to put each piece in individually so they don't stick or tangle. Boil just a few minutes, stirring lightly. Drain and drizzle on a little oil. Toss with some pesto in a bowl.
Serves one, or two alongside a vegetable such as broccoli, and a salad.
You can also make this as a noodle soup, cooking the pasta in broth. (Or drain water and add to broth).

Homemade Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup vodka
1 1/2 madagascar vanilla beans (split open and cut in half to fit in bottles)
Let steep in jars for at least 2 months. Keep in a cool dark place and shake once a week. You can keep adding vodka after you use some of the extract.

My family has inherited my grandmother's apple pie recipe (the good, old-fashioned kind... from scratch). I put a creative spin on it and liked how it came out :D.

It struck me as I was looking at this old picture of my family that all of the dresses are homemade! Wow. I guess that's just how we did it back then. I'm the youngest in front. The little girl way over to the right side is a neighbor. From left to right: my sister Judy, stepbrother Bill, me, my sister Jane Ann, my stepsister Donna. Not pictured is my stepbrother Harold.

Once I let this sit in the fridge for a couple of hours, I’m going to slather this on top of a slice of honey grain bread and topping it with a couple slices of hickory smoked bacon and a drizzle of sriracha sauce.
I would like to wish happy Mother's-day my mother, my grandmother, my boyfriend's mother and every other mothers on the whole world. :)
I decided that all of the cameras that I tried to make cyanotype photos with were all too advanced. I would worry about them being left outside all day and they have apertures that get in the way of capturing as much light as possible.
So here is my contraption consisting of cardboard + magnifying glass + duct tape + tracing paper (to act as a viewfinder).

In less than twenty minutes of work, I prepared a six-month supply of laundry soap. (This isn't all of it; I'd already poured off three and a half liters before taking the photo.)
Homemade laundry soap is a good deal cheaper than the laundry detergent that is available in stores -- yet it contains much the same ingredients. It is very easy to make, and rewarding to use.
Richard bought a new toy: a Spätzle machine, so that we can enjoy some traditional German/Austrian food. (The machine is made in China, of course.) Had to scratch around for a reasonable recipe to make this, and we got excellent advice from flickr-friends Ilse, Gourmandise, ankegroener, and Rotraud. I made the dough, and Richard did everything else. The noodle-ettes all go into a big pan, in which is melted butter, salt, pepper, mixed dried herbs, and freshly cut chives.
