I want to improve my previous camera (www.flickr.com/photos/effixe/sets/72157601000121315/), so i have to design a new one.

i drew this out shape based on pictures i have seen of the abelson Omniscope but the guide film is different. It's made from polarized circular filters that will act as ball bearings with more frictions...

this first design (with illustrator...) lead me to learn SketchUp and now i'm working on it : www.flickr.com/photos/diy-effixe/6352411763/in/photostream/

Quilt top for the Doll Quilt Swap II. Made from fabric scraps I inherited from my Great Aunt Madeline.

Almost done.

Mossy!

In preparation for a craft fair early March - easter bunnies in waiting!

Two sessions down, one more to go! (the script says "belong to yourself"

Just waiting for a bit of colour.

Still working on it, but I think this should about do it. Allows for nearly full range of articulation, and for the armor layout I like without inhibiting joints.

Changed the knee, elbow, and ankle confirgurations. Also redid the forearm armoring and skirt armor mounts slightly. PROGRESS!

Knitting work in progress

There's been a lot of interest in this piece lately, so I thought I'd show where I'm at with it currently. About 200 hours so far, a little more than 50% finished.

It will become a wide angle pinhole camera.

Just starting to gather possible ephemera and papers for a new piece which will be my contribution to the forthcoming "Adhesion" exhibition

Not sure I'm feeling this, either. Probably gonna scrap it in the morning.

Progress - The laid thread is lovely to stitch, but boy do I dislike all those tails on the back!!!

not a great photo, but a fun knitting/crochet project :-) Mitered squares with a crochet edge - almost done now!

What will you leave behind?

A pencil teapot for Mobilia- I hope I can figure out how to make it work. As in, finish it, haha.

Progress - the work on the back takes way longer than the front. Such a relief when it is done.

I'm not any good at buildings, but they're not really the focal point of the eventual scene here. Respect to those who can build non-shite-looking buildings; I promise to try and silently mock you far less.

Still a lot of details and work to do yet, just wanted to show off what I've spent most of my weekend on so far. Not perfect, but satisfactory as a WIP.

Please see previous posts regarding the making of the face.

I have now coated the face with several layers of soy wax and then I padded it underneath before stitching it to the croched and knitted background.

This picture shows the extent of the moulding of the face.

Mixed media.

Progress.

First four fillings complete

This shows a close up of the machine stitching. I have put a layer of chiffon over the velvet which has been embellished with embossing crystals.

Some of the crystals are very thick so I avoided stitching over them.

I will now burn away the chiffon with a heat gun.

This morning's view. There is no use tidying up as I'm in mid production ( excuse)
