P1030162
Bought on Marktplaats, the Dutch equivalent of eBay.
Made by Goodell-Pratt Company, Greenfield, MA., U.S.A.
Probably it's a No. 6. (1896-1931).
Side handle is missing.
Recent test roll of bulk loaded Maco PTC 400 in Ilfotec HC / HC110 - developing ok, but might need more light - next roll at ISo 200. Otherwise, quite pleased with the scans.
This is the progression of steps for this:
1.) I drew a realistic lotus (no subject/example) in pencil and was pleased.
2.) I got bored so I drew darker pencil over-top in what I thought would be cool tattoo swirls and was pleased.
3.) Once again my pleasure faded and was bored. So I erased it all and re-did some lines going for something reminiscent of the band Tool's eyes that are commonly associated with them. Finished with using my new awesome varying-width pens (one is a 007 and is like... beyond fine point ^.^)
4.) After displaying in my cubical for a long time I scanned and retouched it in Photoshop using my graphics pen, layers, and color management.
Final result... I think it looks pretty cool ^.^

This is the second of the tool photos. I did some post processing (obviously). I'm trying to really improve my post processing abilities.
A Happy Thanksgiving to my many American friends!
I hope your day allows you to be grateful for the opportunity you have to bring some clarity to your purpose and optimism to your actions. That can be particularly difficut during these most complex of times. In my case, moments of morning clarity provide me the opportunity for optimism and a foundation for hope. Each morning when I am not traveling, I choose to chase the sunrise during my 7km walk - it's a key part of how I set my mind for the day ahead. I encounter moments like this as I start my trek.
Yesterday, during the final kilometer of my walk, I came across the "rickety bridge" - it's a small, ridiculous contraption that one must use to cross a creek that is perhaps 15 feet wide. I am convinced that it will collapse one day, launching me into a moment of hilarity.
Yesterday, that moment presented me with a special gift.
There, on a tree on the other side, was this glorious owl, perhaps 10 feet up, staring at me. I stopped and didn't move. Neither did the owl. I must have had two minutes to carefully take out my phone and take a few pictures, and then a few more moments to engage in a staring contest with this wonderful creature.
And at that moment, I found and set my optimistic tone for the day. I reminded myself that I could go through the day by choosing to be my 'better self.'
In today's world, we are surrounded by those who choose to fill their day with rage, grievance, hate, and anger. They have chosen to live their life defined not by the opportunities they will pursue but by trying to chase the 'greatness' they perceive they once had. And instead of making things great again, they end up going down a path in which they drag down not only themselves but those around them.
And then there are those who choose not to participate. I'm reminding myself each and every day that I am that person during my morning walk, and yesterday, I found some clarity in my actions. Last evening, I posted this note to my Twitter account.
It reads:
As things of great controversy progress on this site at an accelerated pace, I have decided to scale back my usage of Twitter, including limiting posting to my account @jimcarroll.
I have been online since 1982; I have been on Twitter since 2009. In that respect, my time here to date is but a small subset of my total time in the collaborative universe. When a place of joy and useful insight starts to shift into a location that seems certain to quickly become very much the opposite, it is time to take a break. For me, that time is now; for others, as well.
Twitter has been a remarkable tool and has the potential to remain so into the future. I am not yet confident given recent developments that it will become a viable town square.
I will continue to post my Daily Inspiration to my timeline - I know some of my followers enjoy it. I will continue to occasionally check in to track health, science, business, and news accounts that I respect and have come to trust. But at the same time, I am rapidly depleting my "Followed" list as part of my effort to scale back. I won't be engaging here; I will respond to DMs.
In the meantime, you can follow me on Substack, Medium, Instagram, Facebook LinkedIn and elsewhere. You can find this list, if you are so inclined, at: linktree.jimcarroll.com
Small acts like this can define us. At any given time, we can choose to be our better selves. In moving away from Twitter, I am doubling down on a fast-emerging alternative known as Mastodon. Over there I can be found at beingoblio.com/@jimcarroll. Yesterday morning, when I first had a glance, I did not see a rage-filled hate Tweet. I saw someone posting about .... moss.
As in, that stuff that grows on the ground. It turns out there is a hashtag, #Mosstodon, in which people share pictures of ... moss. It's a differen vibe! I'm in love with it already, and during my walk about 30 minutes from now, I will keep my eye out, not only for an owl, but for moss. I am optimistic that I will find some.
And so on this American Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the opportunity we all have to define our day with optimism and hope. To my American friends, I hope that this day provides you with your moments of gratitude and thanks, and will allow you to do that as well.
Happy Thanskgiving!
Futurist Jim Carroll doesn't know much about moss, but intends to find out. He will also probably fall into the water one day from the rickety bridge, but the water isn't terribly deep. It's a small price to pay for a daily investment in optimism.

Not that this mess needs a description. What it needs is an intervention.
27 May 2024 - Storage Shed of Doom
Lovely husband has finished my workbench today so I've started organsing my silversmithing tools.
Just need some peace from the children now!
Angle iron from an old bed frame, cut to size, points added, handles bolted on. square ends left exposed so they can be driven by a hammer.
These are my most favorite clay tools in the world for handbuilding. I love to carve in leather hard clay.
This cherub consists of an old soldering iron, a figurine's head, doll arms, plastic wings, watch parts and a sculpted body. 2011.

Folkert De Jong (° 1972 Egmond aan Zee) is a Dutch artist and is best known for his works with styrofoam and polyurethane foam. , He processes these materials - often manufactured in mean colors such as bright pink and pale blue- in different ways and with different tools. In the meantime he also works with bronze. The artist himself says: “I create characters in a theater setting. I want to turn them into archetypes, portray the essence by compressing identities. I am looking for a universal language, the strength must be in the simplicity ”.

En attendant, il travaille également le bronze. L'artiste lui-même dit: «Je crée des personnages dans un décor de théâtre. Je veux les transformer en archétypes, dépeindre l'essence en compressant les identités. Je recherche un langage universel, la force doit être dans la simplicité ».
