Third, and last, experiment with flowers under tungsten light. PS 7.0: increased contrast and played with color balance.
This quilt is my first experiment in dyeing fabrics.

Now referred to as the "Wise House" the house was orginally the home of lumber/cotton baron--Edwin C. Holt whot constructed the home using some of the most exotic hardwoods available worldwide. The house was purchased in 1919 by Jessie Hargrave Kenan Wise. The majority of the beautiful wood (the hallmark of the home) was recently painted over during UNCW's "restoration" of their Alumni Office. Tiger oak stair and hardwood flooring fortunately avoided wall-to-wall carpeting.
Next door, (then two-doors down) the Thomas Emerson house (then-president of Atlantic Coastline Railroad). The house was purchased in 1923 by Sarah Kenan, and was rebuilt after being gutted by fire using salvaged pieces with a fire-resistant steel and concrete superstructure. "Miss Sarah" lived there and the sisters (and family) continued to buy up real estate after surrounding buildings burned or became available otherwise, and completed an eight-nine foot prison-like "privacy wall" around the properties. The outrageously wealthy Miss Sarh lived on inside the self-imposed-deterioration of Kenan house until just before the end when some say she actually moved into the home of staff—thinking she was insolvent.--the final stages of dimentia. She finally succumbed to what many feel was lues in 1968.
Rumor has it that banking executives from New York came to Wilmington to finally settle the estate, during their visit literally millions of dollars in cash, silver, etc. was inventoried.
The homes, along with furnishings, and ancillary works of art were ultimately donated to UNCW--a public school. The university continues to spend hundreds of thousands of supposed “donations” to maintain and staff the home as a private residence for the Chancellor of this state institution—quite a perk! Occasional receptions are held in the public areas of the home, supposedly justifying the expense.
When ownership of the property moved from the Kenan family to UNCW, two cases of wine discovered in the basement vault were split between the Kenans and Chancellor Wagoner. The university’s case was finished off that summer by workers—twelve bottles of CHÂTEAU LAFITE ROTHSCHILD.

I'm experimenting with wheat grass for use in the rabbit enclosure part of the installation. I'd like to be able to water it with using the nutrient rich vermiponics water and then use it to supplement the rabbit's diet.

Also #64 (Bottle(s) or Jar(s)) for 112 Photos Challenge
Today I spent some time following the instructions given here to try and make fairy lights.
This is the best result I got (and is edited). I dont know whether perhaps I needed the thicker glow-sticks rather than the ones I have, or what, but this was nowhere near as easy, or as effective, as pinterest made it out to be... Just so you know. Also: Squeezing the insides of the glowsticks out is darned hard work!

MSH1222: 3. Something Glittery
Head: Lilac resin Large Moona
Body: Blue resin CoCo/BonBon
It fits!! I quite like this combination of the Moona head on the fat fairy body!
Makes a nice little Gnome and would look fabulous in NS, green resin or tan!!

Connectivity and readymade practice : 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 crew" headed back to our old highschool to experiment in a partial vacuum. We showed up randomly without notice but our chemistry teacher was more than happy to help us out, going so far as to let us lock up his classroom when we were done. The results were quite conclusive: lifters don't work even in a partial vacuum, which rules out an anti-gravity effect which ufo buffs try to argue is the effect which is seen at normal pressure.
I cannot remember exactly as to how this can about but it was something like this: Whilst on holiday on Sao Miguel in 1995 my wife and I we disussing (in the midst of a bottle of wine) how much wind such an umbrella should be able to withstand before colapsing. As there was a bit of a storm brewing at the time we went off the local cliffs to try and find out. Both the umbrella and the wife survived!
