Crochet nylon mason's twine with silicone. I was trying to make a watertight semiflexible composite material. I crocheted a bowl shape, squirted RTV silicone sealant into the inside of it and smushed it around with a plastic spatula. Then I inflated a balloon into the bowl, forcing the silicone to ooze thru the holes in the crochet. Then I learned that curing silicone destroys balloons. I also learned that it's not easy to work with sealant without it turning into a big gooey mess. Well, I guess I re-learned that.
The enterprise FAILed spectacularly! The interior of the bowl is all cucky, and while the outside surface has some interesting areas, it's also got a bunch of ugly smudged parts. Back to the drawing board on this one.
...both in color and design. Maybe the prototype for my Common Threads quilt round? I'm thinking three rows or maybe something reversible... What do you think?
Blogged here.
E tava ansiosa pra experimentar a plaquinha e o carimbo que tinham chegado da Born Pretty Store.
Eu já tinha um carimbo, mas ele era ruim T_T Aí resolvi pedir esse :D
E queria uma plaquinha bem linda *-* Tava com vontade de carimbar... só não tinha os produtos certos o//
Tentei carimbar nas unhas de mainha e ficou muito massa! <3
Mas na minha queria testar aquele negócio de: deixar a estampa no carimbo, preencher com cores, passar top coat e depois aplicar nazunhas *-* Fico babando quando vejo vídeos da galera fazendo isso! É show!
A plaquinha que escolhi foi a QA88. É sério. Morri de amores por ela!
Primeiro, fui preencher a estampa no carimbo e, enquanto esperava secar, fui pintando as unhas.
Passei duas camadas do Amor (Ellen Gold) e no anelar passei duas camadas do Francesinha (Ellen Gold).
Retirei do carimbo e apliquei. Depois passei tc em tudo :D
Gente! Essa nail art ficou liinda!! E esse esmalte é lindo também *---*
Não parava de olhar!
Só não fiz em mais unhas por falta de carimbos... aí passaria um tempão fazendo ;_;
Essa plaquinha é muito amor! yay <3
To ansiosa pra testar a minha primeira carimbada ~de verdade~.
bjs~

In the 1960s, many bus operators realised that the spiral of higher costs leading to higher fares, leading to fewer passengers, had to be addressed. This meant experiments aimed at attracting passengers back to buses, making the service not just reliable but faster, more comfortable and - well, just more modern.
One of the operators at the forefront of this move was Manchester City Transport. The new initiatives included automatic fare collection equipment, buses with separate entrances and exits to speed boarding at busy centre stops, and a bright new red and white livery.
Many bus enthusiasts in Manchester think of the revolutionary 'Mancunian' bus, and the first Mancunian, 1001, is now in the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester. But actually they weren't Manchester's first move in this direction - in the previous months, Manchester took delivery of almost thirty Leyland 'Panther' buses and we see one of them here being inspected by MCT managers.
The gentleman on the right is Ralph Bennett, the General Manager of Manchester and the driving force behind the new direction. And who do we see on the step but Roy Hattersley MP, at the time a junior minister in the Ministry of Labour.
The bus was in the modern, light livery - in fact, red and cream which was changed later to red and white - and you can just see a sign telling intending passengers that there was a turnstile on board, which would only allow passengers to move through if they put money in a slot.
The livery was a success but the turnstiles were unreliable and were soon done away with - as, actually, were the Leyland Panthers which did not last as long as desired and were sold off after a few years.

I wanted to make some good old-fashioned LEGO gore, so I found some red pieces and victim and started this.
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md., hosted this month's Sunday Experiment on Nov. 18 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST. It was a free afternoon for elementary-aged school children and their families to look at how NASA explores space and studies Earth from space using satellites and other technology.
This month’s Sunday Experiment explored NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite project. The TDRS project at NASA Goddard is building three new Tracking and Data Relay Satellites: TDRS K, L and M. Nine TDRS spacecraft are currently in geosynchronous orbit. Together they form the space-based communication relay network known as the Space Network (SN).
The SN is made up of seven TDRS spacecraft that are responsible for relaying more than 40 different spacecrafts' data to the ground 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The TDRS constellation is responsible for gathering data from low-Earth orbiting spacecraft such as the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA's Earth-observing fleet of satellites and the International Space Station, and transmitting it to TDRS ground terminals. Once the data arrives at the ground terminals, it is sent out to the spacecraft’s data processing facilities across the country. The communication also works the opposite direction with controllers on the ground using the SN to send commands like “Hey, satellite, turn your camera on!” to spacecraft.
TDRS K is the first of the third generation of TDRS satellites and is scheduled for launch in January 2013. This generation of TDRS will ensure that NASA’s communication needs are met for many years to come.
In addition to celebrating all things science, technology, engineering and mathematics, the Sunday Experiment celebrates major science missions that are managed by NASA Goddard and set to launch in the near future. The Sunday Experiment is a place where children and adults alike can discover the excitement of Goddard through fun and engaging activities.
Sunday Experiment, held the third Sunday of each month, spotlights Goddard's world-renowned science and engineering research, and technological developments. Families leave inspired by the activities, wowed by the scientists and engineers, and excited about Goddard's revolutionary research and technology.

I was experimenting with some crease patterns and I modified one of them into this lizard. It's not anatomically correct (the toes), but that isn't what I was going for. I was mainly trying to design a lizard with color changes. Designed and folded from a square of tissue foil by Ian Chesser, July 2009.

I'm using one light source; sometimes, a little bit of the backlight through the windows is visible. Experiment with the distance of the light and the object. I thought it was super complicated to shoot with flash, but it's not too hard to get the first promising results. Just take your time and have fun! Enjoy the process; there is so much to learn!
Started experimenting with tabletop photography. Used 20x16 Acrylic sheet, 2 15w spiral cfl, and my nissin flash.
This was taken with a Nikon F90X film camera with a 20 odd year old Nikon 35-70 f/2.8 and a Nikon SB600 flash bounced off a reflector to the right.
I tried a lot in this. I put the red into a black/gray drawing, I shaded the bottom part black with a Marker and I used two different ballpoints, one for darker and one for brighter parts. I gotta say I had no motivation left for the red hair ribbon so I didn't shade it too well...

trying continuous birth control to see if it lessens my migraines. I'm scared shitless of not bleeding, though.
Facebook's Group album must have some sort of limits. So i am aiming this file of photos meant for our photo group here. Nothing is great about these photos. Most of them are over exposed (washed out) by a stop or two. but this makes the experiment even better and helps me learn something new. Thanks to David Brandt for the inspiration and for kicking in some brain cells. So I opened about 50 jpg files into Adobe Photoshop 10. I scrolled and found process multiple files. i didn't want to change sizes so I left that box unchecked. I had created a destination folder and sent them there. i renamed them and asked for four different things to fix. I added a watermark which i don't usually do. then i let her go. Adobe processed all the files but then at the end told me she couldn't finish. then the page and thumbnails disappeared. So i closed Adobe and went to the folder and they were there, edited and watermarked. I added the new name to the end of the original name so when I put everything into a folder they were original then edited. i hope they landed in here like that. Now each photo could take a lot more editing but if you know that most of your work is washed out or under exposed it is a good tool to run your work through. if you need to resize a batch of photos to show a client then as soon as you learn what size to put in the box you will remember each time. Photoshop edits added about 6mb to the photo.
Mark and I spent the weekend together with all three kids. That's three under three. Yes we are insane and yes we loved every minute of it. Even the 9 PM bedtime we had to endure because we were both so whipped from chasing them around all day. I ended up breaking out the camera to document the chaos of the day and experimented with some new ideas.
Where snails go for antennae spare parts ;)
Santa brought me a new camera for Christmas - thanks Santa!
This series is drawn from my first shoot with her.
Macro of course. Deliberately over-exposed for effect and with very minimal processing.

CROSSVIEW
To view 3D pics cross your eyes focusing between at the pictures until both images overlap one another in the middle.
Per vedere le foto in 3D incrociare (strabuzzare leggermente) gli occhi fino a che le due immagini si sovrappongono formandone una sola centrale.
I can't decide. Is this any good? I shot this because I liked the blond girl's pose. I walked over and asked her friend if I could be allowed to photograph the tattoos on her arm. But she said no, and I had to respect that so I walked away.
