My project is about my process through getting a breast reduction. I had large breasts since the 8th grade and at some point it was easier for people to know my chest than know my face. I stood out for it when all I wanted to do was blend in. In my piece, I used only a palette knife to control the paint because there is very little control much like how I felt throughout this process. I went over parts with colored pencil and ink to tighten it up. There are faces and skulls staring at the figure while the figure is faceless representing how it feels to not have your face be the first thing people notice. Throughout the piece, there are phrases people have said to me throughout the process that are somewhat hidden and somewhat in plain sight. I have included what people have said to me through the complications I have had with the reduction. Even as I am typing, I am developing hives from the medication I’m on. So my piece is messy and emotional and dark even though I used a lot of color. In life, there is vibrant light and hope but it is also extremely messy at times too.
The last time we bought a new sofa was before the turn of the century (makes it sound older than 'before 2000').
This is an ex-display example with low bum mileage for half the cost of a new one. Sold!
The bit at the end reminds me of Carry On Cleopatra where she is being fed Grapes (by various male suitors). Can't beat a bit of Chaise Longuing around right?
We await delivery by a shiny green John Lewis truck...

acquired with N.I.N.A.
Post-Processing:
Using the SubFrameSelector to select images which fullfill the criterion FWHM <= 1.5" && Stars > 100. The Stars > 100 criterion was required to reject bad subs with haze and clouds. Finally, 3799 out of 7241 captured subs where used for the final stack. Due to memory limitations of my computer, I processed batches of 1000 frames at once.
Image calibration (bias & darks), star alignment, image integration with the WBP script, dynamic background extraction according to this video by VisibleDark, deconvolution, EZ denoise, masked stretch, range mask, curves transformation to enhance contrast, enhanced luminance sharpening using this video by VisibleDark based on this tutorial on chaoticnebula.com, final dynamic crop on the galaxy
Average FWHM of the stars is about 1.2".

Piccadilly - Safe4Summer.
The initiative is part of the Government’s mission to restore and strengthen local policing in communities and reduce or prevent anti-social behaviour (ASB). As part of this, there will be a greater visibility of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers and partners as we work together across crime hot spot areas.
Kate Green, Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities, said: "We’re determined to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer place for everyone. The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is a testament to our dedication to reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life for our residents.
“By continuing to work closely with our communities and partners, we aim to create an environment where everyone feels safe and can enjoy not only the summer but all year round and every year. We’ll be working hard to ensure our town centres are safe and welcoming for all.”
Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle, GMP’s lead for Local Policing, said: “Our neighbourhoods are negatively impacted by various crimes such as the illegal use of e-bikes, drug dealing and other ASB.
“As a force, it’s our mission to listen to our community’s concerns and take action where crime is committed. Our proactive approach to tackling neighbourhood crime has meant that since 2021, we’ve reduced burglary by a third and vehicle crime by a quarter, thanks to the dedication of our local neighbourhood teams, working closely with partners across the region.
“Over the summer months, they will be focusing on increasing engagement with our communities to listen and respond to their concerns. Residents and business owners will also see an increase in the visibility of officers and partners, as we work together to ensure a safe summer for all. This isn’t about trying to spoil people’s fun over the summer months, it is making sure everyone can enjoy themselves without feeling unsafe or being hurt.
“We welcome the Home Office initiative, which perfectly aligns to the neighbourhood policing model our force implemented locally two years ago. Safe4Summer is the perfect opportunity to highlight the strength of our partnerships in Greater Manchester, and our determination to minimise crime and disorder and to ensure Greater Manchester is a safer and more desirable place for all.”
TravelSafe Partnership Manager at Transport for Greater Manchester, Kate Green, said: “While the vast majority of people using the Bee Network do so safely and responsibly, we know that crime and anti-social behaviour increases over school holidays, and that is not something we will tolerate.
“We work hard every day to keep people safe, whether that’s through our engagement programme or the many proactive operations that take place. We will have an increased presence across the Bee Network to prevent and deter incidents, helping people to travel and enjoy their summer safely and with confidence.”
In 2023, Greater Manchester Police made a commitment that every district ward has a named local police officer, and we would keep communities informed through our use of the community messaging service, Bee in the Loop, which provides the latest news on events and incidents straight to your email inbox.
In April 2025, we welcomed the opportunity to further strengthen our neighbourhood offer, with an increase in numbers of neighbourhood officers by 176, to help GMP to continue to deliver in tackling crime and working with partners and communities to keep our streets safe.

El reciclaje es la mejor manera de sacar provecho a los materiales usados porque con ellos se crean nuevos materiales. Reciclar es un proceso que depende del aporte de materias primas de millones de personas y, por este motivo, sigue siendo y será la mejor ayuda para la conservación del planeta, tanto para el hombre como para el medioambiente.
