This was version one of a design I did for the cover of my Biomed report on my job shadow experience. It was designed to be printed completely in black ink on a really nice satin red paper with some subtle sparkles in the paper. The red bg in this doesn't do the paper justice.
But anyway, after designing this, I realized that it isn't exactly a unique title that describes my experience, so I moved on to design #2.
FOV: 6" wide.
This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

First Sigma 10-20 mm shots and first ever attempt at B&W HDR. Taken with Canon EOS 1000D Sigma 10-20 mm f3.5 and processed in Photomatix Pro 3.0.
so I discovered that you can use an oil pastel as a resist. even cooler is that you can scrape off the oil pastel to reveal the color underneath. eyes and mouth were done this way. i then went back and added outlines with sharpie.
Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

The experiment was to see which type of vinegar gave the greatest reaction with baking soda. Turns out the aromatic (balsamic) vinegar was the strongest reaction!
Experimenting in the production of pottery by the blind.
“To them, their fingers are eyes”
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was ‘eagerly accepted’.

I'm trying to find a doll which can be attached to a card or a book art page. These are the first tries and involve lightly stuffed dolls and complete "flatties"
I will decorate them and see how we go. Great fun!
Friends have asked for holiday suggestions for nutella, so I have designed an experiment that produced good holiday results.
1. similar to experiment #2, select a suitable oatmeal raisin cookie
2. pipette 30 grams of nutella carefully onto the cookie. whatever you do, don't use a spoon, because the nutella doesn't want to spread-- it wants to cling. to spoons, cookies, taste buds-- it's all very lovey-dovey and, perhaps, a trifle needy.
3. Also similar to the previous experiment, carefully place exactly no baconsalt, whatsoever, on the nutella
4. pour egg nog
5. play some holiday-themed music
6. swish the egg nog and enjoy its heady vapors. oh, did i mention the rum?
7. enjoy responsibly
8. make a setting for a friend

I am curious to see what kind of hits a pic can get just with tags. One of four posted, none will be included in any of my sets, not posted to any groups. I also made sure that they didn't show on the current photo on my site too long, as I added a dozen flower shots right after. I think this should prove interesting.
