..."framed tape on cardboard in urban context"!
I recently finished some new tape artworks. Here’s an example of the new style...
If you have some picture frames, you don’t need, please write me a message. thx
Okay, so.. uh.. How to describe the day. This is the result of wrapping my legs and torso in mailing tape, then cutting my body out of it.
This sorta describes how I feel these days. I feel so trapped by things I hate, but HAVE to do.. Like work. I just want to go to school and study and be a college kid.. I hate that I have to work...
I need to get some things off my shoulders here pretty soon, or I'll go crazy.

The man was back painting the outside of our flat today, and the fumes really get to Tim, so we sealed up a couple of the windows on that side of the flat. It really worked! Bit of a cooler day, too, so not too bad having to have those windows closed.

This bright yellow Ryder truck was asking for some attention while I was waiting for the 49 Western bus. The yellow ginkgo leaf flew right onto the truck like a magnet. I like how the curves of the leaf match the curves of the headlight.
First mini book from my mini book week (more info here), made with the paper scraps you get when you cut a 8x8 square from a 12x12 paper and some masking tape. Song lyrics from a song I wrote for a concert in February.
I've wanted a desktop "enclosure" to take macros and suchlike whilst isolating the background clutter that also occupies my desktop for quite some time now.
Today, 05 Jan 2011 I finally constructed one.
I took inspiration from this classic article strobist.blogspot.com/2006/07/how-to-diy-10-macro-photo-s... but instead of cardboard (had real trouble finding a reasonable-sized cardboard box, got impatient and used foamboard).
I purchased all the bits from a local Hobbycraft store.
A3 5-sheet pack of white foamboard, £11.99. Could have saved myself this if I'd found the right-sized cardboard box. Oh well, I'll make a larger one when I find the right-sized cardboard box.
A1 sheet of 90g tracing paper, £1.58.
Several pieces of A1 150gsm coloured card; white, black, green, blue and red. £1.99 each.
Finally, a roll of masking tape that I had laying around the house.
I marked a 35mm-ish border around two A3 pieces of foamboard, cut out the middle inside this border with a Stanley knife (be careful) and stuck them to a third piece (the back) which I did not cut a hole in using masking tape.
I placed another A3 piece of foamboard across the top, marked where it needed cutting to fit snugly on top and then cut it. I then marked the same 35mm border around the edge of this now squarish piece and again cut out the middle. I then stuck it on top with masking tape.
I used the pieces of foamboard I cut out as templates on the big A1 sheet of tracing paper adding about 15mm overlap and simply cut out the tracing paper with scissors. I then stuck them over the holes in the sides and top with masking tape - that way I can remove them if I want to shoot directly into the box from the side.
I cut a strip of white 150gsm card the same width as the box, laid the box on its back, placed the card on the back right up to the top and then simply stood the box up. The card just bent seamlessly at the back as you can see in the photo.
I cut a black piece of card too. This is the first shot I took with the black card backdrop firing a Canon 430 EX II through the left-hand "window" and a reflector (actually the unused fifth piece of white foamboard) inside the box on the right-hand side.

I kept the bottom of the box uncovered so I could place it over the top of things outside when the weather's better. You can still place it on the unused fifth piece of foamboard to temporarily create a base if you really want to.
Plus, all the off-cuts of white foamboard can be used as reflectors, gobos or whatever.
Apologies that this shot is more "arty" and less about the construction details. I'm sorry, I just can't help myself.

This butterfly card is for 2011 Hero Arts January Challenge.
I was inspired by the Hero Arts 2011 Catalogue page 9- the card on the right coner of the page.
The masking technique was used in the center panel. The butteryfly image (CL431) was masked with a piece of paper, then the friend definition (CG125) was stamped on.
Finally, I used the "sending smiles message" set (CL490) for the inside to finish the card.
Really really love masking tapes! I use them a lot in making cards（In this card, I used them for part of background, the birds, roses...).
Thanks for looking!

Oops! Learn from our mistakes! Someone stuck up signs around the school using masking tape, and now the residue and stains are all that remain. An expensive lesson, as painters need to be brought in to repair the damage. This photo is going into our school "do not" file for when they give an orientation to new staff and students.
