My grandfather's house is full of antiques and old trinkets and treasures. I love photographing vintage objects.
I made this set ( Biscornu Pin Cushion, Rotary Cutter Holder, Scissors Keeper) for Pat from N.S.W. It is all made In The Hoop on my embroidery machine.
Before the invention of scissors, humans were forced to cut paper by breaking it over rocks. This worked because there was no such thing as paper, only stone tablets. It didn't work because the tablets would almost invariably shatter into many illegible fragments. Later, when paper was invented, it was easier to cut paper by tearing it using the opposing force of two human hands. But that wasn't good enough for ancient Egyptians, who realized that by harnessing the power of the fulcrum lever, they could devise a superior method of cutting paper. Their first attempt—bolting two humans together at the waist and using their legs as handles—met with limited success. Their next foray into the world of scissor manufacturing involved using only arms. This too was a disappointment for all involved. The advent of the Flintstone Age brought marginal improvements, many involving the use of flamingos, but it was not until the Romans that scissors became truly dangerous to run with. That was terrible. I hate ending sentences with prepositions.
The Romans introduced the concept of two opposing blades, using fulcrum action to maximize the cutting force. Modern scissors, of course, no longer rely on physical force. The "cutting" is now done by tiny organisms called scissororians, living along the blade edges. As the two blades meet, the scissororians carefully disassemble the paper (or cardboard, hair, dishonored yakuza pinky) at the molecular level, before, naturally, running for their lives as the blades destroy whatever is left in their path.

When I ordered these decorative wooden scissors, I failed to notice how large they were, even though I'd seen it in the catalog. Heh, when it showed up this morning, I was very surprised. Next to the giant scissors is a Dish Satelite remote to show its size.

"Running with Scissors" (top), a strange comedy from 2006, was filmed using locations around the Los Angeles area.
This bus stop was set up in the Los Angeles Historical PLaza near Olvera Street.

I turned my brother's Roomba into a luck dragon. (I'd meant to turn it into a cat...)
Yes, it still works, and it works fine. I was careful to ensure that the sensors, exhaust, buttons and handle remained functional.
It sheds like a beast, though. Or did during construction.
My Thing a Week Redux is of Princess5exyface's close up shot. My husband is a hairdresser and has a pair of really pretty scissors - thought they made a really nice shot.
