Nothing exciting about this shot but it was unnatural to see a pellet plant in the middle of corn fields at Reynolds, Indiana. There was a BNSF train from Minnesota with iron ore concentrate plus this train of short hoppers loading pellets for AK Steel (with CSX power).
On display at GAFFTA. Each form is held together by magnetism. All total, nearly 2000 magnets and ball bearings.
The magnets are from www.amazingmagnets.com.
Made using pins from a childhood toy. The magnets hold the pins on and act as a spine. Spirals, curves, and curves made from lines have always been my favorite shapes and designs.

Paisley fridge magnet, embroidered felt.
This swap required us to make something homemade based on our partners profile. I made lots of little things in scarlet and yellow, my partner's favourite colours! Sent to Neca84.
Magnets with stuff just the right size for my fashion dolls. Thank you Helen! Love them!
Had a lovely time shopping!
Found these neat app magnets this summer at Caddywampus Gifts on Mackinac Island. They're made by the Jailbreak Collective (jailbreakcollective.com).

A refrigerator magnet or fridge magnet is an ornament, often whimsical, attached to a small magnet, which is used to post items such as shopping lists, child art or reminders on a refrigerator door, or which simply serves as decoration. Refrigerator magnets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, including thin die cut forms the thickness of heavy card stock, and may have promotional messages placed on them. Refrigerator magnets are a relatively popular collectable object.
At one time, the largest verified collection of refrigerator magnets belonged to Louise J. Greenfarb from Nevada, USA. Her world record was included to the Guinness World Records with 19,300 items as of 1997. According to the British "Book of alternative records", it grew to 29,000 as of February 2002, and later up to over 30,000 items. Over 7,000 magnets from Greenfarb's collection were exhibited at the Guinness Museum in Las Vegas, which has since closed.

These little custom magnetic bricks pack quite a punch!
I found the smallest and heaviest thing in my garage to test the strength of the 2x4 brick magnet. The winner is a 1 pound cold steel hex chisel.
The magnet had absolutely no problem attaching to the chisel and could probably hold up to 2 lbs easily. The magnetic pull was so strong that I had to take pictures of them individually becuase when I tried to take a picture of them all together they either repelled or attached each other making a clump of magnetic bricks.
THE PROS:
1. Its small
2. its a Lego brick
3. looks cool on the fridge
4. It's crazy strong and will hold almost anything to your fridge without breaking a sweat
THE CONS:
1. the list of things these magnets can damage is fairly long. (electronic devises, cards with magnet strips, etc.)
2. can effect the the operation of pacemakers or similar medical devises.
3. If you randomly decided to bake your brick in the oven above 175 degrees the magnet will loose it's magnetic properties
Do the pros outweigh the cons? I'd love to hear what you think.
[edit] I did some additional research and it sounds like magnets in general do all the damage listed above and the warning sheet I got is kind of like the "The state of California has determined that this product will give you cancer" that you see on almost everything. I also read that even a cell phone battery can screw up your pacemaker.
I think I'm really not your man but...
I am a magnet type.

Jennifer C. Contacted me and asked if she could use my photos to make magnets for her online business. I gave her free access to all my Flickr photos. She sent me this magnet of Link, today. Visit her page: stores.ebay.com/MsJokersToybox?_dmd=2&_nkw=dachshund

"Her husband was a monster – her bridal night a hideous nightmare..."
A RHIC Dipole on display outside of the Brookhaven Superconducting Magnet Laboratory.
RHIC is a particle collider used to collide heavy ions at relativistic speeds, hence the name Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The dipole magnet is a key part of any synchrotron as it allows the recirculation of beam through accelerating RF Cavities. This particular magnet is a superconducting magnet operation at ~8°F above absolute zero, utilizing NbTi superconducting cable.
Sorting out my study today.
I've got about 150 of these. I picked this at random. The artwork inside these things is incredible.
I think it was probably these books that started me off on a lifelong reading habit.
I actually had this book as a kid - not this particular copy, I picked this up at a car boot sale.
They really are informative, artistic, sharply written, incredibly stylish and charming.
I don't think there is any real equivalent nowadays.
While doing housecleaning I found a magnet I thought was long gone. Sometimes it's good to clean house!

large wall of magnets at neighborhood community center on 18th street - castro district, san francisco, california
UPDATE: THE TIME IS NOW! I will start to release my collection this week so if interested now is the time to get in contact. :)
.
These are magnets made with (North American) stickers and a sheet of magnetic material. Simple enough to put on the magnet sheet, much more difficult than originally thought to cut them all out. The first one is fun, the second not so much, the tenth is simply annoying. :D
Also a couple of Japanese Gashapon magnets.
~~
All these (and more) need new homes as I'm going to a different country for an extended stay soon so send me a Flickr Mail message (access through the arrow that appears near my profile photo when mousing over it, or click on the little tan envelope that appears on my profile page) if interested.
Each magnet is an original pencil illustration and painted with acrylic paint. Non-toxic coating gives a nice shiny raised surface. A large strong magnet is fixed onto the back with industrial glue.
Original little works of art that are fun AND functional. Durable and unique. Perfect for gift giving or for keeps!
Each magnet measures 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) across.

Created for a gelli print magnet swap. All papers used were gelli prints. The hearts were embellished with various fibers, glitter, and glass microbeads.
On the backside was a gelli print of a brick wall with the poem:
When you for for a walk, take seeds with you, poppies, rainbow chard, rocket. Plant them among the weeds in patches of wasteland. See what happens. (Tom Hodgkinson "How to be Free")
