Assignment 52-382012 - Faceless portraits.
It doesn't say headless - just faceless! :-)
Loved the way these guys were acting out a dreams!

The name Corfe means a pass in Old English. Corfe Castle was built on a steep chalk hill created by two streams eroding the rock either side. The construction of the medieval castle means that little is known about previous activity on the hill. However, there are postholes belonging to a Saxon hall on the site. The dramatic ruins of Corfe Castle stand on a natural hill guarding the principal route through the Purbeck Hills. As you can see it guards the gap between the south of Purbeck, where Purbeck marble was once quarried, and the rest of England. Nothing could pass in or out without going past the Castle.
Corfe Castle is a fortification standing above the village of the same name in the English county of Dorset. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle dates back to the 11th century and commands a gap in the Purbeck Hills on the route between Wareham and Swanage. The first phase was one of the earliest castles in England to be built using stone when the majority were built with earth and timber. Corfe Castle underwent major structural changes in the 12th and 13th centuries. In 1572, Corfe Castle left the Crown's control when Elizabeth I sold it to Sir Christopher Hatton. Sir John Bankes bought the castle in 1635, and was the owner during the English Civil War. His wife, Lady Mary Bankes, led the defence of the castle when it was twice besieged by Parliamentarian forces. The first siege, in 1643, was unsuccessful, but by 1645 Corfe was one of the last remaining royalist strongholds in southern England and fell to a siege ending in an assault. In March that year Corfe Castle was demolished on Parliament's orders. Owned by the National Trust, the castle is open to the public and in 2010 received around 190,000 visitors. It is protected as a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
A castle was founded at Corfe near England's south coast soon after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The royal forest of Purbeck, where William the Conqueror enjoyed hunting, was established in the area. Between 1066 and 1087 William established 36 castles such in England. Sitting as it does on a hill top, Corfe Castle is one of the classic images of a medieval castle, however despite popular imagination occupying the highest point in the landscape was not the typical position of a medieval castle. In England, a minority are located on hilltops while most are in valleys; many were near important transport routes such as river crossings.
Unusually for castles built in the 11th century, Corfe was partially constructed from stone indicating it was of particularly high status. A stone wall was built around the hill top, creating an inner ward or enclosure. There were two further enclosures: one to the west, and one that extended south ( the outer bailey ) in contrast to the inner bailey, these were surrounded by palisades made from timber. At the time the vast majority of castles in England were built using earth and timber, and it was not until the 12th century that many began to be rebuilt in stone. The Domesday Book records one castle in Dorset; the entry, which reads "Of the manor of Kingston the King has one hide on which he built Wareham castle", is thought to refer to Corfe rather than the timber castle at Wareham. There are 48 castles directly mentioned in the Domesday Book, although not all those in existence at the time were recorded. Assuming that Corfe is the castle in question, it is one of four the Domesday Book attributes to William the Conqueror; the survey explicitly mentions seven people as having built castles, of which William was the most prolific.
In the 1980's, Ralph Bankes bequeathed the entire Bankes estate to the National Trust, including Corfe Castle, much of the village of Corfe, the family home at Kingston Lacy, and substantial property and land holdings elsewhere in the area. In the summer 2006, the dangerous condition of the keep caused it to be closed to visitors, who could only visit the walls and inner bailey. The National Trust undertook an extensive conservation project on the castle, and the keep was re-opened to visitors in 2008, and the work completed the following year.
The castle is a Grade I listed building, and recognised as an internationally important structure. It is also a Scheduled Monument, a nationally important historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change. The earthworks known as ~ The Rings, thought to be the remains of a 12th-century motte-and-bailey castle built during a siege of Corfe are also scheduled. In 2006, Corfe Castle was the National Trust's tenth most-visited historic house with 173,829 visitors. According to figures released by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions, the number of visitors in 2010 had risen to nearly 190,000
I developed this corner bookmark design from the one by Sy Chen. From his design I basically avoided folding in the borders, then folded in the flaps to make the tail and body as shown in his diagram, and developed the model from there into a corner book mark. You can see Sy Chen’s diagram here:

grainy, becuase the 100 ISO slidefilm isn't massively happy about the artificial light - odd colours from the cross processing - don't think it looks too much like me - love these experiments!

I went for a walk with my friend Pat around the South Park neighborhood of Seattle today. I used to work at Boeing Plant 2, across the river from South Park in the 1985-1990 timeframe. There have been some changes in South Park, mostly improvements. We visited the library, which was built in 2006. We had lunch at an old favorite restaurant, Jalisco, on 14th Avenue. I had a chorizo burrito, it was as good as ever.

Thank you to all my contacts who have looked at, commented on and faved my photos since I joined Flickr. I appreciate it!! Sending some love :)
This page was just to move away from everything else I had been looking at to give me more ideas for the project to see if anything else interesting popped up. I started to create icons using some of the traditional British dishes I had chosen for the survey that I did earlier on in the project.

At the end of each set of chants the monks would play this mini hand drums called Dhamroo, which would create a resonating sound when played in sync. Absolute treat to watch.

We’re creating a Haunted House with lower-school students in our Maker Art class at the Lycée Français this fall.
In this after-school workshop, students are building a fantasy world together, with magical creatures, ghosts, witches and other animated characters inspired by Halloween.
We are combining arts and technology to bring their creations to life: each student will have their own room in our haunted house, and they will learn to build simple robots with motors and Arduino, then play with lights and sounds to tell their stories for our ‘show and tell’.
For our first class, we invited students to plan their Haunted House together, then design their rooms and characters, to be featured inside their cardboard ‘wonderboxes.’ My associate Sarah Brewer showed them how to create their own electronic circuit to light up an LED, using copper tape to connect the LED to the battery.
We teach this class to students in grades 4 and 5 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito, every Thursday at 3:30pm, from September 15 to December 15, 2016.

This is a bigger piece I spray-painted at Rootwire festival this past weekend in Ohio. The whole event was very creative in every way, so this is a reflection of that soul communication. I painted it at night during quality performances of Djs like Random Rab and Kaminanda. The power of the generator giving me light kept on dieing on me, so at points I was finishing this on top of a ladder with a flashlight in my mouth. Pretty stoked on the results though and to be flown there to do things like this.
