Where the smokers hang out in front of Chicago's Old Town School of Music in Lincoln Square stands this Chicago Reader box. It's unusually clean of any graffitti. Looking for something interesting on the box, there is some dirt on the lower part facing the street.
I like the positioning, because this leaf it a little more tucked away as a surprise. And especially since the smokers hang out in this area, they might be like, "Hey look! A ginkgo leaf is taped on the corner of this box!"
This is the newest journal I made for personal use. It's a Trash Book, made almost entirely out of papers that would normally be thrown away (or were thrown away).
The front cover is part of a photocopy.
The back cover is covered with a paper grocery bag, decorated with portions of the same photocopy from the front cover.
The interior front cover has a pocket made from a scrap of paper used in another bookbinding project.
Mismatched signature reinforcements are made from vintage magazine and book pages, photocopies, leftover Canson paper and packaging from things someone sent to me. (The map with masking tape on it was used as wrapping paper.)
The papers on the interior have some edge damage from a miscut. Since I intended this for personal use, I left that there.
The interior pages are 80lb paper, stiffer and thicker than my usual heavy 60lb text weight. I rounded the corners.
128 pages.
5.5" x 6.5" (14 x 16.5 cm)
I made this for myself, but I'm going to put it on Etsy. If it sells before I finish using the last few signatures of my current book, great. If not? Mine! (It'll be up for a very finite time.)

Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin
my hair bothers me in this. what do you think?
look here too!

In this painting, I used a heavily textured handmade paper. The technique used is as previously described - sticking masking tape onto the paper and then painting until I reached a result that I liked.
Maybe you'd not have split your sides laughing at this, and the picture is pretty rubbish but hear my tale.
Mrs L is back in hospital tonight (10April) and is likely to be there for a while. F&F will get the details in due course. Being me, I thought I'd take a few snaps for the purposes of the usual banter we enjoy in these parts. I was apprehended (OK I went voluntarily but that seemed like the sensible thing to do.) That sordid little business of the Met's attempt to stifle photographers' self-expression appears to be spreading. There is now a memo from on-high in the Welsh NHS (or locally? not sure yet) re "people taking pictures on hospital property". apparently. So, good citizen that I am I co-operated fully, respected the request to demonstrate that I was deleting the photos, did delete the photos. blablabla. Of course because the hospital is technically "private property" even though it's publicly-owned, the staff were perfectly within their rights, and with one VERY notable (and relatively senior) exception they were fairly nice about it.
My point? well, see this not-amazingly-funny gag about a road gang rattling around in a quiet area on a JCB? Stoopid but harmless, yeah? I took it openly some 3 weeks ago (never mind the date-taken being 18March , check the date of the event depicted) and today I'd have been jumped-on. I've not even strightened the photo up thus hopefully avoiding arguments about "WHEN" the picture was created (now that I've been asked to desist). So... there you have it ladies and gentlemen... a poor quality picture with a poor quality byline that is now "officially discouraged" by a system that has had a Humour Bypass.
Pathetic, isn't it? after my being so NICE about them too....
You might think I'm being petty about the bad reaction of Mr. Big to what's essentially a trival schoolboy joke, but it's a lot more serious than that. Objections we raise to our treatment by the machine are more and more being routinely trivialised, not just in respect of photographers' liberties, but in innumerable other ways. Ways of thinking and ways of living are frequently demonised and prejudice in the media is routinely whipped up by people who it seems can photograph anything they like courtesy their sponsors in high places, by people who go through the pretence of getting a drubbing in the High Court although they don't actually have to testify (just like the Queen??)
Who is kidding who here? I still "like" being British. However, and while I'm not pro-hunt, when I see the Range Rover with the "Countryside Alliance" / "Sportsmen's Federation" window sticker beside another one one that proclaims,
"I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT"
... well, I still worry about the stereotyped images that it conveys, but after coming to terms with any prejudices I may have, I know exactly where that is coming from.
I'm a pacifist as you probably know - so when I see such strange bedfellows I KNOW it has gone too far. If you are a Brit, ask your MP to support this early day motion.

Thanks to maskingtape for inspiring this photo and for strating the discussion on this photo
Paint a thin layer of Mod Podge that evenly covers the entire strip of masking tape. Carefully attach a section of pattern paper, tissue paper, or other thin paper.
The green in the image is leftover crepe streamer from a kid's birthday party and has a fun wrinkled texture when it dries.

Some changes to my web site -- This photo & other August Break posts are on my blog: jesshibb.posterous.com. (If you visit jesshibb.com, you can still get to my blog ... It's a fancy launch page now!)
Here I'm laying out patches of 3M Scotch F9460PC very high bond strength (VHB) adhesive transfer tape as Dave has laid them out on the back of the front-facing corrugated plastic. The tape will hold four HVST.echnology X43 audio exciters in each box.
First I unrolled a little more than an inch of tape for each audio exciter, snipped it off with scissors, and laid it out on the plastic. Then I burnished it with the back of a spoon for good adhesion, before peeling off the backing paper and pressing an audio exciter down on it.
The F9460PC has almost the same characteristics as the F9473PC I've used before, except that it's thinner and less expensive. My guess was that a thinner layer of tape could only improve sound transfer between the audio exciters and the corrugated plastic. A temperature rating of only 400 degrees Fahrenheit instead of the other tape's 500 degrees doesn't worry me. I won't be around to experience the shame of that failure mode.
Even this less expensive tape cost about $5 a yard. To use it more economically, I could have traced X43-sized circles in a close-packed arrangement, and then quickly cut them from the two-inch tape as isosceles triangles. (Optionally, I could have trimmed the triangles further, to reduce the amount of excess, exposed tape, which can only create problems: by catching dirt, sticking to wandering wires, etc.) But as the event approached, we optimized for speed, not material consumption.
Note that we diverged from best practice in not using the polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) fuses in series with the audio exciters. Instead, we chose to push harder on the tradeoff of failure risk for sound output, with minimal resistance between the X43s and our little Lepai LP-269FS amplifiers. Consistent with this approach, we used 18 gauge speaker wire, which is the largest size the X43 connectors will accept.

Use scissors, a guillotine cutter, or a rotary cutter and ruler to cut the tape out. Make sure you leave some wax paper on the end of the strips so that it is easier to peel the tape off later.
I got a extra set of mt ex Bangkok (5 patterns limited ed. brand new!). If you have mt limited from mt store at Anthropologie in New York and would like to swap, please leave a comment! thank you!!
Cute set of 3 Japanese Washi tape with numbers, icons, and typewriter lettering in Pink/Burgundy. Great for scrapbooking, art journaling, and card making! Acid free and archival safe. They are made of japanese washi (rice paper) and are semi transparent so they work great for layer effect.
An handmade mini notecard is perfect for all occasions. Let us go back to the most simple way of communication, write down how much they mean to you, reasons why you love them, how they make you feel.
Available in my ETSY now :)
Lay a piece of wax paper on your work surface and attach strips of masking tape. Make sure you leave space so there is room to work on each piece individually.
