Finally after many years I have been able to build a Diamond Pattern Pantograph that I am truly happy with. For a long time I hade used the good old Lego pantograph www.bricklink.comcatalogItem.asp?P=2881 on my fleet of Electric Locomotives as there was no better substitute to my liking. The unfortunate thing is with the official Lego Pantograph is it is rather under scaled, also it's only available in Single Arm format which is fine for modern locomotives but not for vintage locos that predominantly used the Diamond Pattern style.
Special thanks to Namo-Den who inspired me with his design used on his RhB Ge6/6 Crocodile www.flickr.com/photos/namo-den/5165827171/in/set-72157625... and his help with supplying me information about his design.
Working on a Sheath dress pattern that can be made from non-stretchy material I HATE sewing stretchy stuff, not to mention you can find the best tiny prints in calico cottons. Its looking pretty good... you can give it a try if you'd like. The pattern is on Shannanigan's Doll Modding (mis)Adventures
P.S. This Frankie was my first attempt at removing a head. Obviously it did not go well... so now she is my mannequin!
This one is an actual zebra taken at Melbourne Zoo and not a close up of the Makatron Zebra that I uploaded a couple of photos ago.
My sister and her family came over for lunch today. She brought over a tea set and glassware that where my grandmothers. Loved the pattern on the teaset but it didnt photograph well so I decided to try the glassware
"Long summer days choked with wildfire haze has made this the smokiest summer on record in Alberta's biggest cities.
Environment Canada data shows Edmonton and Calgary have set new records for "smoke hours," which are counted when the haze becomes particularly thick, reducing visibility along the horizon to 9.7 kilometres or less.
Records on smoke hours have been kept for more than 70 years. The previous record for both Edmonton and Calgary was set in 2018.
Between May and September of that year, Edmonton recorded 229 smoke hours. Calgary recorded 450 smoke hours during the same time frame.
This year, as of Sunday (3 September 2023), Edmonton has recorded 244 smoke hours. Calgary has recorded 464 smoke hours so far this summer.
The totals for both cities are expected to rise as smoke continues to drift in from wildfires burning in B.C. and the north." From The Weather Network, 4 September 2023.

"A friend told me about a display of fungi near Fish Creek Park last year, so of course I had to go and check it out : ) Taken on 29 June 2012, near the edge of the eastern end of the park. Wish I knew what kind of mushrooms these are - I love the patterns that form on the top surface of the caps. They look so much like some of the Easter Hot Cross Buns that I buy.
Any chance that these could be Cracked-Cap Mushroom / Agrocybe dura? Apparently, they are very common in wood mulch, which fits with my photo."
