The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England. Inside the two biomes are plants that are collected from many diverse climates and environments. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 2 km (1.2 mi) from the town of St Blazey and 5 km (3 mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species, and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The biomes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The largest of the two biomes simulates a Rainforest environment and the second, a Mediterranean environment. The attraction also has an outside botanical garden which is home to many plants and wildlife native to Cornwall and the UK in general; it also has many plants that provide an important and interesting backstory, for example, those with a prehistoric heritage.
You've been working for weeks on this and you're really optimistic about it, but when you arrive at the theater the day everything has to pay off and you see the empty seats looking at you, then you realize you have a responsibility.
Hours of preparation pass, really quick, and a uncomfortable feeling grows in your stomach. The last moments before the show starts arrive, sooner than expected, and there is nothing you could do about that. The murmur of the waiting public, too many people, annoys you, and as if it were a fiction story, the rain has come to salute as well.
Suddenly, someone opens the door, and a bunch of people take their places. Some of them don't have a seat and they occupy the stairs. And then the show goes on. It didn't go as you expected, but it finishes with a warm applause.
When it's over, you start thinking with normality. The main feeling is that too many things that were designed and developed, too much effort, have not been used or shown during those 20 minutes, the minutes that really count. But it wasn't a failure. It was a success. At least you think so, and that matters a lot.
And then you realize, this pain, this anxiety before the start feels good afterwards. It's kind of addictive.
(Note: this picture was taken on December, when I visited the theater for the first time to check the lightning. I took exactly the same picture yesterday to use it for 365, but my camera got stolen afterwards. I hope you understand.)

I was inspired by something I read on the internet, someone making a night light out of an old Millenium Falcon shell.
So I set out to make a Thomas and Friends night light for my son, using one of his "spare" Thomas toys as the base. The toy was taken apart in January and I finally got around to the hard yards a few weeks ago. A bit of a learning experience, lessons learned about what I should have done in the first place but I am quite chuffed about how it turned out.
Space inside was definitely at a premium which made for tricky work. It was meant to be for his birthday later this month but he spotted it in bubble wrap high on my bookshelf and there was no stopping him .... the night light has multiple colours but he decided he wanted a greenish tinge to it for now.

I love this picture of my niece Jenna. She was colouring a picture at the kitchen table when I took this picture, I thought the light was beautiful on her face and she has such beautiful eyes.
Another project completed. This time is was the bathroom ceiling. My sister and I painted the walls the day after I moved into the house. We were just too tired to do ceilings!! Got rid of the semi-gloss sheen on my ceiling and now have a fresh brilliant flat white to help the bathroom seem brighter!
TEN project explores the idea of family relationships in connection to time. It started as a result of meeting one of my cousins, Gabriela, after almost 10 years; we spent little time together, trying to rediscover each other and (re)create a connection. Although natural and absolutely not staged, the series of portraits explores the familiarity versus the unknown, the blood relationships, the time and the distance. The title is also connected to Gabriela's maximum grade (10) that she received on a recent MA graduation exam. Will update it soon.

I got frustrated with my lack of a proper workbench in this tiny apartment, and having to constantly put my arduino projects into a box when I wanted to use my desk for something else. I took an Ikea cutting board, and drilled mounting holes in the standard Arduino pattern, and bolted 4-40 machine screws through it. This allows any arduino to be bolted in place, and any shield to be mounted, without causing it to tip over. To easily access the headers on both sides, a pair of breadboards were glued. Now I can just put the whole thing on a shelf, and pick it up when I have the time again!
Take a stroll through Coney Island's amusement district--past, present and future--with the Coney Island History Project.

21 February
Bronzed.
Shining in the warmth.
Weather worn and sun drenched,
Your branches begin to reach.
They crawl
Through tangles of wind
And quiet whispers of
Renewal.
Seasons
Passing like cold moonlight;
To sky painted in soft pinks and purples;
On to hard rays that
Make tears in your eyes;
And then come the fiery reds and oranges
Like leaves falling,
Following the sun through dying sky;
And again the snowy silver
Of a new moon;
But it is aways new,
Always sweet,
And that is what we miss
When we forget the roots.
Haircut, sunlight, honest conversations.

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.
