Here you can see that this cheap craft store necklace chain + clasp have lost their silver-plating. Additionally, this chain has reacted with my skin and turned it green.

The homemade paper instamatic cartridge with an 36 exp., here Fuji sensia 200 iso.. Actually it works. This cartridge is made of black paper, lightproof tape and an ordinary film 135 m,m film. The mask inside is made of sliced 120 film neg to get more clean edges. To make it fit into instamatic camera I have used an paperclip. After bending and gluing the paper together - you pull the film out of the film canister and roll it together and place it in the black box. last step is to tape it together.

Attention: Please do not waste your time and talent by mounting your beautiful needlework with tape, glue or adhesive spray.
From top left: 1. Cut acid-free matboard to fit with some excess fabric. 2. Place matboard on 100% cotton backing fabric and cut a piece slightly larger than matboard. 3. Cut thin acid-free batting to fit matboard. attach using acid-free adhesive spray. 4. Machine stitch backing to long edge of needlework. This photo shows the needlework with backing attached on top of the matboard. 5. Flip and stretch backing fabric to opposite side and pin turned under edge closely. 6. Use same technique on the remaining sides. Keep as taut as possible. Use the lines in the needlework fabric to keep it aligned with the matboard. Whip stitch or ladder stitch backing fabric to needlework fabric. As it isn't glued or taped to the board. you can make slight adjustment to the position even after it is stitched together. Use a fine tip permanent marker on the backing fabric to add your name and date.
