Since reading the book Zero History by William Gibson I've been paying more attention to fashion.
Recently I've started observing fashion actively. I'm only a beginner without knowledge and without a frame of reference. So the easiest way to start was to observe outliers. Establish a subjective baseline by looking at the crowd and then record anything that is different.
I was recycling some old micro-vial containers at work the other day, and it occurred to me that all those little squares would look neat filled with color. So I took one home to see what I could do with it. I'd planned on using food coloring, but couldn't find any, so I used gelatin mix combined with vinegar (I had a vague theory that the vinegar would make it brighter somehow). I got the color into the squares with disposable pipettes.
It wasn't all I'd hoped for, but it kept me amused for an hour...
Pinhole experiment
Manresa. Barcelona.
That's it, an experiment. This is a 2sec exposure with the pinhole lens of the Lensbaby. F/177. It's my son running towards me :)

Experiment estenopeic
Manresa.
Apa doncs, un experiment. Una exposiciĆ³ de 2 segons amb la lent estenopeica de la Lensbaby, a F/177. Ćs el meu fill corrent cap a mi :)
Penelope has been acting weird every time I work on a doll. She shakes like crazy. I wanted to see how she would be if my attention was focused on both her and a doll. She was fine. No shaking. I guess it's just when my attention is totally focused on the doll, she gets nervous and shakes.
Or she's so afraid of Icy doll Beatrice that she can't even shake!!
I put my iPhone in a ziploc bag and brought it in the pool with me ... I kind of like the blurry toy camera look.

Trying another experiment Colour popping this time , I didn't know wether to colour all the flowers in but as the 1st one took me ages i thought i would leave it as it is for now
Errol Korn, lower left, explains the dropsonde experiment to Janel Thomas, a University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) graduate student, seated, as Bob Pasken, standing left, and Jeff Halverson, a GRIP project scientist from UMBC, look on inside NASA's DC-8 airplane, at Fort Lauderdale International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010. The Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment is a NASA Earth science field experiment in 2010 that is being conducted to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes.

having been inspired by some of the phenomenal work done by billy gomez lately, I decided to experiment with high contrast processing

Three recent experiments - mostly relating to needle felted jewelry ideas.
I've been toying with the idea of doing a steampunk necklace and having seen that octopi often show up in steampunk I made one. Flat on the back, dimensional in front. Doubt that this particular piece will work with the gears I bought.
Beads and a Cabochon - I've used silk before with my Merino fiber and I know that it adds a luster and reflective quality that the wool lacks. The beads and cabochon are very firmly felted.
FOV: 4" wide.
This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green of minerals containing the uranyl ion in conjunction with carbonates.
On the right ~15mL of calcined garden gypsum (rinsed) was combined with 7.5mL of a boiling solution containing sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and uranyl nitrate in an aluminum form. The mixture released much gas (CO2 ?).
On the left ~15mL of DAP Plaster of Paris (containing CaCO3) was combined with 7.5mL of the cooled previously mentioned solution after it had been treated with HCl to remove the carbonate ions. The still acidic solution reacted with the CaCO3 in the Plaster of Paris mix and was mostly neutralized by the CaCO3 becoming CaCl2 and CO2 gas (and H2O). The mixture was left to set in a plastic form.
Contains:
Uranyl with carbonate (FL Blue-green >BL/UVabc)
Uranyl without carbonate (FL Yellow-green >BL/UVabc)

Much appreciation to Gordon Czop for the uranyl nitrate.
