I'm finally getting around to updating my needlebinding page - nb.miravisu.net [..on the page Swedish Publications you can also find the below listed publications..]
..and expanding my needlebinding literature library!
I ordered needlebinding leaflets from Maria Lind Heel, also including ones she has co-written with Ann Ravn, and one by her friend Jannie Hasselby. Most are in Swedish, but some are in Danish since they have not been translated into Swedish (yet). If you want own copies, contact Maria via her webby here:
The upper books to the left, are how to needlebind the Mammen, Brodén and Långaryd stitch, there are also leaflets for lefthanded. So these are by Maria and Ann Ravn.
¤ Lär dig att nålbinda - Mammen, Brodén- och Långarydsstygnet
¤ Lär dig att nålbinda - Mammen, Brodén- och Långarydsstygnet, för vänsterhänta
¤ Lär dig att nålbinda - Oslo- och Yorkstygnet
¤ Lär dig att nålbinda - Oslo- och Yorkstygnet, för vänsterhänta
Then there are guides for how to make armwarmers, socks, caps, mittens, sweaters, christmas decorations, cowl and play food.

Then there were also these in Danish, on how to make hearts, how to splice yarn and how to make shawls.
¤ Nålbindningsserien, 9. Hjerter - sådan gør du
¤ Nålbindningsserien, 10. Splejse metoder - sådan gør du

And finally, one in Swedish by Jannie Hasselby on how to create a needlebound braided edge.
¤ Nålbunden flätkant
I've decided to pick up the guitar again. This time however I've gotten a guitar that's actually made for left handed people... opposed to playing a right handed guitar with the strings reversed. It makes a WORLD of difference. This is a Taylor 3 series with a built in pickup so I can make some real noise. Wow. I had no idea a guitar could sound like this...
ESP has now officially stopped all orders for one-of-a-kind ESP Standard models. If you want anything special, you now have to use their CU$TOM $HOP. I bought this model from Xtreme Lefty Guitars (www.xlguitars.com). They have a huge selection, but ESP cut off all future unique orders, so once their inventory is gone, it's GONE.
Wasim Raja was a glorious lefthanded strokemaker, who revelled in adversity, a useful legspinner, who also opened the bowling for Pakistan on occasions, and an outstanding, lithe cover fieldsman. He represented Pakistan in more than 100 international matches, coached the national side for a short while and had a spell as an ICC match referee, being in charge of the last Ashes series in Australia. He will always be remembered for the style and spirit in which he played the game, yet for such a mild-mannered and charming man he had his fair share of clashes with the Pakistan board. From a privileged background, he did not enjoy the hierarchy within the side, once refusing to hang out a senior player's socks to dry, but more importantly he always felt frustrated that he seemed to be picked on a match-by-match basis while a clique of senior players were omnipresent in the team. But for this, he might have captained Pakistan ahead of the more rumbustious Javed Miandad or diffident Zaheer Abbas. After all, as a batsman he was a prodigy at 18 and led the under-19 side. Quite often then he did not bother to wear pads when practising with his contemporary Imran Khan, who admitted that Wasim "was in a different class altogether and was already batting with a maturity beyond his years". He was the eldest of three boys, all of whom played first-class cricket. Ramiz followed him into the Test team and later captained Pakistan, while Zaeem played for National Bank. His father Raja Saleem Akhtar also played firstclass cricket, captaining Sargodha. Wasim made his first-class debut at 15, for Lahore, while still at school at Government College, went on to Punjab University, where he excelled at cricket and academically, getting a first in his Masters degree in politics, and came into the Test side in 1972-73, when called up as a replacement for the tour of New Zealand. He began to establish himself in 1974 in England, where he topped the tour averages. The "exuberant" Wasim played two innings at Lord's that Wisden described as "masterly", countering Derek Underwood on a drying wicket with selective attack. At home that winter he scored his maiden Test hundred against West Indies at Karachi. His innings was such a fine one that, instead of the usual handful of well-wishers that used to run on to the field to congratulate a batsman on reaching three figures, there was a full-scale invasion. In all he played 11 Tests against West Indies, against attacks including Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner and Colin Croft, making 919 runs at 57.43, an average that only Greg Chappell exceeded during that era. He also had an excellent record against India, hitting two 90s on the 1978-79 tour when many of the other front-line batsmen crumpled under the pressure and ending the series with 450 runs at 56.25. He made his highest Test score against them - 125 not out at Jullundur - and had his best bowling figures, 4 for 50, with his under-utilised legspin in the same match. For a number of years he played Minor Counties cricket for Durham, where he met his future wife, Anne, also a useful cricketer. He studied for his teaching degree at the University. While there, a serious car accident nearly ended his life, never mind his playing days, but he eventually returned to the game, helping Durham win the UAU Championship in 1990 with a match-winning 50 in the final. He went on to teach geography and PE at Caterham School for 15 years. Wasim, who collapsed and died while playing cricket for Surrey over-50s at High Wycombe, is survived by his wife Anne, and his two sons, Ali and Ahmed.

I think someone asked the local police not to park on double yellow lines - so this one parked on the footpath instead!

Drawing myself from memory sort of tells me the state of my understanding of the architecture of the human face. Here it's clear to me what I still don't quite understand - the bridge of the nose.
This seemed like a good medium for this interesting paper.
I use these to hold stops and such. Made from alu. angle, common hardware and a spring. I can take them apart and reverse the pieces to make them "righthanded" or "lefthanded".

I'm on to a more varied daily art practice. March-April 2010, I intend draw a different contemporary artist every day.
Today's artist, Patricio Villarroel, is an artist, musician, and ambassador of digital fingerpainting on flickr. Patricio's expansive spirit continuous to encompass the ever-growing and diverse group of iPhone/iPod touch artists and hold us together like an extended family. No matter what time of day I post, he's frequently commenting before I'm done describing.
Clearly revealing my ornery spirit, having told yesterday's subject, analog artist NC Mallory, that all my portraits were likely to be digital, I just couldn't resist drawing digital artist extraordinaire Patricio Villarroel with an actual pen on paper...
You can see many other artists' portraits of Patricio here:
www.flickr.com/groups/portraitparty/discuss/7215762359443...
Patricio's paintings are varied and fanciful, colorful and adventurous, encompassing portraits, street scenes, and abstracts with elegant combinations of color and linework, and always expressing his genial spirit.
You can check out his fabulous portraits and other artwork in his photostream:

When I was in high school I fell out of a moving vehicle and broke (among other things) my shoulder. As a result I had to learn to write and do a lot of things with my left hand so I forced myself to become ambidextrous. I still obviously favor my right hand and arm… but if I had to I could do anything with my left side!

90% with my glasses off which allows me to see light & dark, mass & form, without getting distracted by details. But I just couldn't get the eyes at all - every time I put my glasses on to see how I was doing, I just had blobs sitting there. So the eyes and then some other details were done with glasses on. And I do see now that they're not lined up - haven't decided about trying to fix that tonight.
And can it be - that after declaring myself 'still colorful after all these years' for my birthday, that I'm falling in love - with greys???? These are all mixed from the same palette I've been using- alizarin, prussian, cad yellow hue (arylide) and white, lots of white. I'm really grooving on the subtle tonal differences.

Once again, I'm hoping to turn myself into a plane instead of having to board one, this time to fly to LA. In keeping with the rest of the week, this is another LHBD - Left-Handed Blind Drawing. I hope to post from LA, but if not, I'll catch up on return - of course I'll still be drawing every day.
This is a past self-portrait from my Daily Portrait Project, in which I made a non-photographic image of myself every day for three years, from 3/15/07 to 3/15/10. This series of self-portraits can be viewed in it's entirety at studiojuliakay.com/portraitproject.
