Took some great classes and learned soooooo much!
I took the fabric dye class by Stacy Mitchell 2 years ago and have used the fabric to make my purse labels. I just love her! She is a local artist with international connections. Her annual open house is April 18th. I plan to be there!!
Took some excellent knitting classes. Learned a bunch... good since I really know VERY little. I did the smallest knitting with beads and may make a beaded bracelet instead of the little purse that was the project. Helen, our instructor, has been knitting since she was a small girl.
The hand beading class was amazing... learned so much. I knew nothing before the class and know enough to start experimenting. June Colburn was an inspirational teacher.
Loved the felted bowl and the crochet flowers class instructors. Very helpful! They made the concepts easy to grasp. Both were from a local yarn shop..."The Whole Nine Yarns". Lovely yarns in their booth.... drool!
Something quite different... took a locker hook clutch class. Fascinating textures created with yarns and fabric strips. I now see a way to use my remnants in a beautiful creative way!!!
Textiles! Fibers! FUN!!! =)
UNIFIL Force Commander, local officials and LAF representatives cut the cake to celebrate the inauguration of the Blida water project.
The apprentice projects section was a comfy little hole. This picture surprises me as I don’t recall many of these faces as ever having worked in here at the time that this photo would have been taken. This was where the models, of various sizes and types, were made. The little brass one’s [to be given to visiting dignitaries] were a pain in the arse, even though they looked good. Three weeks to make, eight weeks to polish. I can still taste the polish now.

CEA Project Logistics have a proven track record in specialised transport, one of our areas of expertise is Helicopter Transportation having completed several projects previously for the Sikorsky group and their Seahawk SH-60. This experience was a key factor when a new client chose our specialised transport services for several Agusta Westland AW149 medium class helicopters.
The Royal Thai Navy have ordered 5 Aircraft all to be delivered in 2017, CEA were employed to carry out all unloading at Laem Chabang Port and transportation to the Utapao Navy Base for assembly, after assembly the helicopters would fly to their new base in Northern Thailand to replace the Bell UH-1H helicopter.
The helicopters arrived at Laem Chabang Port A-5 on the NYK vessel Oceanus Leader. Each helicopter was shipped on a mafi-trailer with a bespoke fabricated saddle for the rear landing gear. Laem Chabang Terminal Tractors removed the helicopters from the Oceanus Leader positioning them next to the CEA 50 Tonne mobile cranes. Each helicopter was lifted from the mafi-trailer by a specialised hook attached to the main rotor, the five shackles of the hook were fixed to the main rotor by five lifting slings. The helicopters were lowered on to awaiting Air Ride trailers each fitted with a saddle for the rear landing gear.
Wooden chocks were placed on the front landing gear and lashing applied. CEA further secured the cargo with more two more lashing slings connected to the rings on either side of the fuselages. Other aircraft accessories were also loaded and secured. After each helicopter was lashed and secured the convoy began the 70km journey to the Royal Thai Navy base at Utapao, Rayong province.
A CEA escort vehicle was used throughout this specialised transport project to ensure maximum safety on the route to Utapao. Upon arrival at Utapao, the CEA teams removed the lashing allowing the 50 Tonne mobile cranes to lift the helicopters from the trailers using the same method as before and placing them in their respective hangers. Project duration from start to finish was 7 hours.
This is a screenshot of the website "Project Watch" that I never published. I wanted to track all of the transportation infrastructure projects going on in Chicago when Mayor Rahm Emanuel was elected and hired Gabe Klein to be the commissioner. The city wasn't tracking the projects, although they said they intended to.

I did not make these custom HissTanks, I just photographed them. To check out the ongoing art project visit the CanvHISS Project on Facebook!
I've started a new project to customise an Olympus 35RC. The plan is to include a Konica Hexar AF style grip, new skin, smoothed top and bottom plates to remove the hotshoe, self timer lever, all logos and fit a new Leica M4 style film counter surround.
A little project I did a while back.

Project 365 - #354
Inspiration: online discussion of Nightwing in a bathtub eating gelato and Bathound wanting some.....
Result: see above
Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB , Sakura Micron 005 in a Stillman and Birn, Epsilon series sketchbook
Notes: total nonsense but once it was stuck in my head there was no getting rid of it besides trying to draw it.
Also....my PC keeled over and died this morning. For the foreseeable future I am without access to my scanner and accessing the Internet via my tablet.
Bromine, symbol Br, atomic number 35 is a red, non-metallic liquid discovered in 1826 by Antoine Balard in a salt marsh. *Though perhaps a German student Carl Lowig found it first but didn't get around to claiming it. Bromine is not something you want to stick your nose in, as it is irritating, burning and hazardous, with a noxious vapor.
The name bromine comes from the Greek for "bromos" or stench. The stench might even be that attributed to a stinky goat.
From bromine, we get bromides, which are compounds containing bromine. An example is silver bromide is used in photographic processes.
Bromine/bromide has also influenced language. That is the use of bromide to mean dull, uninteresting, trite and tiresome. To quote wordsmith.org: " In earlier times, potassium bromide used to be taken as a sedative. So any statement that was intended to be soothing ("Don't worry, everything will be OK.") acquired the name bromide. Eventually any commonplace or tired remark and anyone uttering such remarks came to be known as a bromide."
From this boring "bromide" comes "bromidic," the adjective form.

My print was created by screen print with 3 screens for 3 color process. Due to some learning curve errors, in the end my screens were created by painting the negative space with screen filler.
I used the image of a goat after reading a reference to "stench of the goat" relating to the Greek word for stench. This goat is standing by a marsh and inhaling the nasty red vapor of bromine (but he doesn't mind, because he already smells).
After I had designed the image, I went on to read about the linguistic connection between bromine and bromide/bromidic. I thought that was really interesting. I always like when sedation leads to new words. Nowadays I don't think these terms are used much, but we should put them back into use. It can be the new cool slang if we get the right people saying it in public. It's basically the equivalent to "triflin'" (trifle-ing) anyway.

I love this project, everybody's prints, and can't wait to see where this goes. Thanks to azuregrackle and everybody else. Various internet sources were used in obtaining the above info about bromine.

I am being headache with my design for the final project in this week. I use to modify the idea even in last minute, always want to make things perfect. I understand this is not realistic, but at least want to see a better result. Personally I think a designer somehow like a chef cooking a steak that he should knows whether it is too raw or over-cooked. I am still learning to be a top chef.
Yeah, I manipulated it a bit, but had this vision I had to follow. Still has to dry and tweek a bit, and sorry out of focus. Better shot to follow, but here it is.
