Last time I used white paper on the left and right of the glass. The rims get their lights from the left and right as the background and the paper on the left and right are not entirely together.
If you want to do it properly check out this picture.
strobist info:
SB-900 with diffusion dome behind black paper, -0.3EV, camera -2.7EV and @f11 to eliminate the rest of the ambient light. Triggered with the camera's internal flash.
Now you can flip the blue hexagons right-side-out, so they fold underneath the quilt top and over the batting and backing.
The most frequently asked question - How to choose a front door color? There is no single answer, but in our article, we tried to elucidate all nuances of choice!

Cut little diamonds out of the center of the paper hexagons. You'll need to place a pin through the holes, but don't make the diamonds too large.
Keep making more paper hexagons by following steps 2-5. You can always make more if you run out.

This series of images will guide you through modifying an HS-311 servo to give continuous rotation in either direction, with a degree of speed control.
The modification is non-reversible, but these servos are cheap as chips so this shouldn't be a big worry.
Connect the servo to your microcontroller (here an Arduino) and tell it to move to position 0 (i.e., a pulse width of 1500µs). The gears should start spinning, unless it was previously at 0.
Now superglue the tab in place. Use lots of superglue! This is the second non-reversible step. If you accidentally move the tab a bit, you should still be able to fix it. If not, don't panic, you can fix it in software later.
Using tweezers, move the potentiometer tab until the gears completely stop moving. Be as accurate as possible, though you can compensate for it not being dead centre in software later.
well not really, i sure know the F-16 much, MUCH better than this stuff!
i scored some really old equipment (oscilloscope and pulse generator), but i have no idea how to use it. cant even produce a sine wave as-is. :(
any ideas are welcome, of course.
well, at least those things smell strongly of electronics when in operation. so yeah, i think i'll just go to sleep while smelling their scent of nerdyness for now. =)
ps: will reply to other stuff in the next few days.
If you're using a 2-inch hexagon, you should cut ~3-inch squares of fabric. (If you're using a different size hexagon, just add an inch to the height, and cut that size of square fabric).
You could cut the squares into hexagons at this point, but it's just easier to leave them as squares.
The BristleBot is a vibrobot with an agenda.
It's built with a vibrating pager motor and the busines end of a toothbrush that has slanted bristles.
Using the diamond hole cut in the paper hexagon, pin it to the approximate center of the [wrongside of the] square of fabric.
The credit card holder has a couple of support vanes moulded into it. These are important when paired with a money clip, but they cause a problem if you want to use two card holders.
Tap a sharp knife firmly, once, right into the pit, and twist it out. Avo must be ripe for this to work.
(Testing my theory that Flickr is perfect for quick HOWTO vids.)
Here's the Lifehacker post.
It is important to mat your pictures. Pictures will last much longer if they are behind glass or plexiglass. Pictures that touch the glass or plexiglass directly will stick to it and be ruined. The mat and backing board suround the picture and prevent it from touching anything it shouldn't be touching and also act as a moisture and chemical barrier.
So you have all of the required supplies. You have your picture, the pre-cut mat, and some tyvek tape.
Notice that the picture is in a plastic bag. Storing pictures out in the open is generally regarded as a bad idea. I'm just using the plastic bag that the pictures were shipped to me in. There are also bags designed to hold single matted pictures when you are done.
Dry mounting, wet mounting, and spray mounting all tend to be not archival because you cannot remove the picture later from the mat. You want to "hang" your picture, just from the top. I chose tyvek tape. It has an archival adhesive on the back and doesn't outgass and ruin your pictures. This way you don't need to mess with mixing up or wetting glues and potentially getting water and messy stuff all over the place. I got my tape from Light Impressions.
I'm too obscessive compulsive to cut my own mat boards. I'd throw out too many boards if I did, so I just buy pre-made mats. They aren't that expensive by comparison and this way I don't sweat over a mat cutter and stuff. Be careful about the matting material. It must be acid free and not outgas. The cheapest matting material usually isn't. I picked my stuff up from a local art supply store. Light Impressions sells mat boards, but there are equally archival, but less expensive, pre-cut mats.
Pretty much, when you are matting photographs, white is the only color you want to use, and you probably want to use a wider mat. It sets the image off of the wall better. Pinhole says that he sees 10x10 photos on 16x20 mats. 8x10 in a 11x14 frame is just not enough these days. :)
Take your snippers and remove the tab. Cut it off as low as possible.
You may need to file off whatever's left.
Take the gear that was nearest the wires. It should have a small plastic tab on it which prevents it from rotating through more than 180 degrees.
I have this tendency to start every other tutorial with a warning about how easy the skill is; and aside from the knitting/crochet patterns, the step to entry really is quite simple and anyone can do it. These hexagon quilt pieces are like the others- if you can sew by hand, you can do it!
Now, what you do with them is another matter. I like this hexagon decorated fabric box, and there's potholders and a tote bag, of course. Or "hex jeans". Or go wild and make a whole quilt of hexagons. The method I'm introducing below was created by combining the most common sense of several hexagon tutorials into the easiest possible steps.

Flip over to reveal the servo horn. Yours may have a white circlular horn or similar, but it doesn't matter.
CNN, ABC News, MTV, Entertainment Tonight and local news reporters use mic flags on every broadcast. They are those rectangular ornaments on handheld microphones that display the network/show/stations logo.
Logo artwork can be designed on your PC and printed on a color printer. Print onto self-adhesive Avery labels, transparent acetates, or solid paper. Laminate your creation and then just attach it to the sides of the flag.
Mic Flag sell online for $20-$40. They can be made in about half an hour using materials that cost less than $1.
This is a step-by-step process of how to make a mic flag.
