This is a portrait of Three Eagles who was Nez Perce. It is taken from a historical archive of native American pictures. I love the faces and names of so many of the peoples of this wonderful culture.

The image was woodburned onto a small 7.5 inch X 5.5 inch plaque. The wormwood border was crafted artificially with a Dremmel Moto tool. The piece is stained with an acrylic and ink wash.

This is a complete build around our F5Pista frameset. Every so often we get a chance to put together a bike just how we'd like it... and here is a prime example. It's elegantly understated with a sandblasted and clear-coat raw frame that has a textured, almost gunmetal, surface.

Major components:

56cm F5Pista. Black lugged fork.

Tange bottom bracket, Dia Compe headset

48T Classic track crankset

H+Son TB-14 laced to Gran Compe Hubs

Gum-wall tyres

Cut risers with front brake

Cutout saddle with studded profile saddle.

Its 22"D x 42"W x 30"H, the drawer is 20" W x 18"D x 2 3/4"H with a solid maple floating bottom and dovetailed corner joints.

Completed on October 31, 1956, the building was constructed in TWA's red and white corporate colors. It is faced with aluminum panels and corrugated concrete paneling.

Cosplayers: Athony Cabrera as Shizuo and Arturo Pozo as Izaya from Durarara

Photography: Jason

These two are the funniest to watch, Mia can't help but plonk herself on every cat and because she's so adorable they never seem to mind! I often see these two on my bed like this.

Studying for A levels at the moment, so that's why I've been so absent! I WILL catch up, just after my last exam :) hope all are ok!

Have a great weekend.

Woo Hoo! Finally finished seaming together the Bernat Bamboo Crochet Vest. Lovely, soft yarn. :) Here is the free pattern: www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=5005

Newly minted Challenger pilots!

This lovely example of the classic Yashica 635 TLR arrived today, complete with its case and the matching, small leather case in the piccie which contains the camera's 35mm conversion kit. In all these years, I had never noticed the blue background colour of the Yashica roundel on top of the viewfinder.

The good points:

- Nice taper.

- Tight plaiting.

- Straight seams.

- Tight hitch.

- Tight binding.

- Nicely shaped cane.

- Firm TH foundation.

- Tight connection between handle and thong.

- It seems to crack well.

The bad points:

- Will have to think again about hide utilization in order to prevent strand stretching, and unevenness in the set.

- It is not a good idea to splice a bolster, at least not at this point.

- Neither it is a good idea to do a lot of splicing unless it is absolutely necessary.

- The keeper in the thong is a bit short and tight.

- The keeper in the handle is a bit long, giving a distorted appearance.

- Transition from checkerboard to four or six seam wasn't that neat.

- Some stitches were missing near the beginning of the thong.

- The lace for the TH wasn't of an appropriate size.

All in all, I think the problems had to do with aesthetical issues (due to very little experience) and not much about functional ones. I still need to make a video to show how it performs.

assembled pivot plus those friction dampers .Most Moulton bicycle enthusiasts will be aware that in the sixties Alex Moulton equipped many of his prototypes and racing bikes with

rear friction dampers to allow fine-tuning of the rear suspension.

The units were adjustable with C spanners to stiffen up the ride quality to the riders requirements.

The very earliest machines including safari models were fitted with a single component but the S range and speedsix had the luxury of twin dampers when they were hand built.

This very desirable performance accessory has for decades been impossible to obtain and has only recently been faithfully reproduced and made available to enthusiasts.

The parts are made in England in superior Stainless Steel and are ready to fit and enjoy.

Any sporting F Frame will benefit from this enhancement. Also available wil be a complete range of Stainless Steel pivot parts including special bolts for use with large chain rings. These will be available with all necessary bushes in hard wearing engineering plastic. This limited run of quality components are produced in a light engineering factory exclusively for us. It really is British engineering. Keep looking in for further performance parts for your sporting machine.

54cm Surly Pacer complete with a few changes. Just got a thorough cleaning. fresh Gatorskins (skinwall matches the Brooks Swift nicely) and new tan bar tape with some shellac to change the look and protect it. Very happy with the bike.

The complete Tau 40k army I have been working on for the last few months finally completed!

Santa brought me the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet to make my post processing easier. I'm not sure it's easier...yet, but my buddy, Les swears by his, so I'm going to try! lol

This is a photo that I took of Nicole @ Lorne Park here in town in the summer. The post processing includes: face smoothing, but restoring pores, powder, blush, eye shadow, false eye lashes (top & bottom). I brightened her irises and added a bit of texture to them. Her lipstick was reapplied in a couple of spots and I even plucked her eye brows a bit. lol Thanks to Les, for the eyelash brushes....they are so cool and I know the ones I used are a little over the top, but they're fun!

The base/background is finished, ready for the roses!

John completed an in-depth census of the Lego people today!

This is another perspective on the completed model. This picture is deceiving in that the model looks half it's actual size. It is being crushed by it's own weight.

The bookshelves completely assembled and loaded in.

When Haley's Hamster died years ago we put it in a brown paper bag and left it in the well house. It is very fragile.
