The magic cocoa bean pod.
These are what chocolate comes in.
There are so many steps to processing chocolate that I think that knowledge was a gift from God.

The Project of Doom was a Harry Potter Block of the Week project that took place on Harry Potter Paper Piecing from January - August 2011. There are 30 patterns in the project and two suggested layouts.
All blocks, layout, etc are designed by Jennifer Ofenstein of Sewhooked.
Patterns for personal and non-profit use only.
These are the pods from a Gum tree, that fall to the ground, and are just like solid wood.!!!
Found these in an Adelaide park. There are several types of Eucalyptus trees, and am not sure what type of tree these came from. Its just that I kept them, as they are a bit different from the more common Gum tree. And put the leaves from my Gum tree, that is in the back corner of my back yard for a better display.
My tree is kept short, as they have a habit of falling down or dropping boughs if left to grow too big.!!!
Each with a small room atop them with varying difficulties of climbing up (sure to be a good way to escape from little brother)

Carimbada c/ Penélope - Colorama

Comprei esse Ludurana só por causa dessa borboletinha no vidro e fui surpreendida pela qualidade desse cinza (ou greige). Ele é bem pigmentado, fácil de esmaltar e limpar. Gostei demais.
Eu realmente não consigo me dar bem com as placas para carimbo de metal, acho que as que eu tenho não têm o traçado muito profundo e por isso fica falhado.
A pod of dolphins chased our ship. Such a cool thing to watch. Turned on the rapid fire shooting to get sharp shots.
"Milkweed plants produce distinct seed pods in late summer. Typically, these pods are horn shaped, or otherwise long, narrow and tubular. Pods are filled with seeds and floss, a material attached to the seed that allows it to travel on the wind, similar to dandelion seed. When the seed is ready to disperse, the floss will expand, causing the pod to burst."
Its time for the seeds to develop. It will transform into many different shapes. This was taken about 10:30am.
Kamienica Pod Smokiem, ul. Smoleńsk, Kraków, 4 stycznia 2015 r.
Kamienicę zbudowaną w 1887 r., noszącą nazwę od zdobiącego jej szczyt smoka, zaprojektował Teodor Talowski. W młodości mieszkała tutaj aktorka Teatru Starego Anna Polony.

The House Under the Dragon, Smoleńsk str., Kraków, January 4, 2015
The house dating back from 1887, named after the dragon decorating the gable, was designed by Teodor Talowski. In her youth Anna Polony, an actress from the Old Theatre, lived here.
Painting and markings:
As mentioned above, the livery is based on an official profile which I deem authentic and canonical. My aircraft depicts a different machine from VFT-127, though, since I could not (and did not really want to) 100% replicate the profile's machine from the Macross PLUS source book, "13 Red". Especially the squadron’s emblem on the fin would create massive problems.
For the two-tone wrap-around scheme I used Humbrol 72 (Khaki Drill) and 98 (Chocolate Brown), based on the printed colors in the source book where I found the scheme. The pattern is kept close to the benchmark profile, and, lacking an underside view, I just mirrored the upper scheme. The starboard side pattern was guesstimated.
As a second-line aggressor aircraft, I weathered the VF-4 with a black ink wash, some post-shading with various lighter tones (including Humbrol 160, 168, 170 and 187) and did some wet-sanding treatment for an uneven and worn look.
Interior surfaces were painted according to visual references from various sources: the landing gear and the air intakes became white, while the cockpit was painted in RAF Dark Sea Grey.
In order to add some color to the overall brown aircraft I decided to paint the missiles all around the hull in white with tan tips – in the profile, the appear to be integrated into the camouflage, what I found dubious.
Most stencils come from the OOB sheet, but I added some more from the scrap box. The grey "kite" roundels come from an 1:72 Hasegawa Macross F-14 Tomcat kit sheet, which I acquired separately for a reasonable price. Even though it took four weeks to be delivered from Asia, the investment was worthwhile, since the sheet also provided some useful low-viz stencils.
The VAT-127 “Zentraedi Busters” unique tail insignia was more complicated, because these had to be printed at home. As a side note, concerning the fin marking, I recently found a translation of the benchmark profile's text on mahq.net, which is interesting: "The Regult within the targeting reticle on the tail met with disapproval from micronized Zentraedi pilots, and so was only used for a short time." The comment also reveals that the original aircraft's modex is "713", not just "13" as depicted, so I tried to reflect these details on my build, too.
I eventually settled for a solution that was partly inspired by the kit’s OOB fin marking and the wish for more contrast for the motif: I scanned the original Regult pod illustration from the source book and printed it on white decal sheet. This was sealed with two layers of glossy acrylic varnish (applied with a rattle can) and then cut into a white field that fills the fixed part of the fin (using the WAVE kit’s OOB fin markings as reference). Once in place and dry, two black outlines were added separately (generic decal material) which help blend the decal and the surroundings. Finally, thin strips of silver decal sheet were used for the fins’ leading edges.
This design variation, compared with the original “13 Red” illustration, led to the idea of a flight leader’s machine with slightly more prominent markings. In order to take this concept further I also gave the aircraft a white stripe around the front fuselage, placed under the kite roundel and again with black outlines for a consistent look. It’s not much different from “13 Red”, but I think that it looks conclusive and, together with the white fin markings and the missiles, livens up the VF-4’s look.
The appropriate flight leader tactical code “01 Red” was puzzled together from single digits from a Begemot Su-27 sheet, the rest of the bort numbers were taken from the OOB sheet (which incidentally feature a “01” code, too).
Concerning the OOB decal sheet, there’s much light but also some deep shadow. While the register is excellent and the carrier film flexible enough to lay down smoothly, the instructions lack information where to place the zillion of stencils (“No step” and “Beware of Blast” stuff) are to be placed! You only get references for the major markings – the rest has either to be guessed, OR you are in possession of the VF-4 source book from Softbank Publishing which was (incidentally?) released in parallel with the WAVE kit. This mecha porn offers an overview of all(!) relevant stencils on the VF-4A’s hull, and ONLY with this information the exhaustive decal sheet makes some sense…
As final steps, the VF-4 received some dry-brushing with light grey around the leading edges, some chipped paint was simulated with dry-brushed aluminum and, finally, light soot stains around the vectoring nozzles all around the hull and the weapon bays were created with graphite. Then the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

Summer's flowers have turned into seeds and the seeds have disbursed to make their own way. These are some weeds at the back of my garden, thus proving there is beauty in even the most humble situations! 20220826_D3F3184
Found the problem with my ring flash and it is working again. Apparently it does not like rechargeable batteries. This seed pod seemed like a good choice to get back into the swing of things with it.

Pod cover drops ( Yine mutfaktayım !.. Pişen yemek sonrası tencere kapağında oluşan damlacıklar fotoğraf çekme iştahımı açtılar :) Tencereyim yuvarlanım ve kapağımı buldum !.. )
I found a bunch of these under a tree. Either someone dumped them there or they fell out of the tree. The tree didn't seem to care that I took a few home.
Trees can be like that.

Oooops, I did it again! In a Lego Star Wars world of X-Wings and Millennium Falcons, I like to geek out over the lesser known, underappreciated ships, as evidenced by my A-Wing and The IG-2000. Now, I have crafted a UCS model of arguably the most mundane, underwhelming ship of the Star Wars universe, the Storm IV Twin Pod Cloud Car. Even the Kenner toy didn’t sell well as it boasted opening canopies and…um…well, that’s about it. Mine has opening canopies and as I wanted to work in some kind of greebling I made retractable landing gear and an opening engine compartment. Both cockpit interiors are detailed…one houses steering controls for the driver and the other seats the gunner who operates a joystick.
For such a smallish model, this was surprisingly parts intensive. Its double hull configuration demanded (amongst too many other things) 20 brown cheese wedges and 40 in red, 8 1x4 studless curved slopes, 52 1x3 curved arches and a staggering 120 1x3 studless curved slopes! In the end I think it was all worth it and hopefully you think so too.
