This is my letters quilt. I loved all the writing fabric they had and had to make a quilt with envelopes out of them. Still needs to be quilted.
I'm a new member of the "Photo Restoration and Colorization" group here. The photo on the left is a scan of the original wrinkled, torn, sun-damaged wallet-size photo that my aunt wanted salvaged before anything else happens to it. The version on the right is my work-in-progress to restore the image. With Photoshop, I've managed to repair some of the damage. I'm now trying to address issues related to the smaller imperfections and fine scratches left on the image. Will post the final result later--but I can't say yet when I will consider this project officially finished. Meanwhile, anybody have any suggestions or tips?
base breastplate (now thermofoarmed into corect shape) + the start of the back "wings" + the outline panels for the front design
Looks good, right? Well I made one stupid boo-boo: leaving next to no room on the bottom - now, if I make a pillow or hanging out of this, it will be extra tricky. :(
I vastly simplified Andrea's beautiful design so I could finish this more quickly. Her design has very beautiful scrollwork and knots. I just repeated the dotted border instead and added the girls' initials on the bottom.
I might be abandoning this particular build (although hopefully not the whole costume itself) but I decided to use some of the old pieces to at least experiment with the super-awesome paste. This are only *two* layers here (not even sanded) that covered up most of the super-uneven initial foam surface (that was dremmeled very roughly) + haphazard layers of blobby paint.
All from the stash, Merino Style DK weight Knitpicks yarn. Going to do eggplant for main color, stripes in gray and the other lighter purples, shawl collar and cuffs in aqua...
Day 8 Evora:
We arrived in Evora. Took a while to find our BB which was in Igreginha, then attempted to find the Capela de Ossos unsuccesfully. The Temple of Diana was amazing!
I slashed the skirt front muslin twice on each side and added 3" of width at each slice, for 12" total extra fullness across the front.
NP with a shaggy bob... she's a custom in progress. I think she's going to be a 60's
girl... aptly named Cilla.
I took a break from having work done on this for about a year. Last month, I started up again, with about two hours on the jewelry and skulls, and last night my artist did the scarf on the left.
I found the January session really trying and was actually a little shaky afterwards. Last night, however, was no problem at all. I expect, at the pace I'm going, this should be done by the end of the year.
Mmmm. Girders. This case study has been a good excuse to experiment a bit more with the fR rendering plugin. It produces nice global illumination with very fast rendering times but the light levels are hard to control. I'm quite happy with the light gradient on the underside of the roof decking here though.
This is a work in progress. I paint on suede board. I use both soft pastel sticks and pencils. I bruse the suede for my drawing that way I have no pencil lines to contend with.
I started this temari with the intent on making pattern 99PG04 on Temarikai. About a third of the way complete on the interwoven pentagons, I realized that I wouldn't be able to complete this as intended. The small triangles aren't supposed to be there, the three black threads are supposed to meeting there. And, I had stitched up too close the the poles. So, I could stop and rip it out and start over or I could continue and just do a more basic interlocked pentagon pattern. I decided to continue since I was enjoying how the colors were working out.
The slow beginning of the Winding Cable knee sock (free pattern on the Interweave Knits site), knit in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Manzanita. It's the same yarn and color called for in the pattern (how unoriginal and boring of me, I know) and I stuck with it because I love the color.
These images demonstrate the undercut protection built into the paracell scripts. On the left is a surface made up of coffer units which carve out triangular coffers normal to the surface. As the surface warps this begins to create undercut conditions as seen in the middle image which is then rectified by the undercut protection as seen on the right.
I'm looking forward to routing a piece of this when our router gets fixed this week. The renderings with triangular coffers are a bit harsh but when the toolpaths are all said and done I think triangular cells with .25" or .5" fillets (diameter of the bit) will look nice. Adding all of those fillets to the geometry would make the file very heavy, but factoring them into the design seems practical to me. Toolpaths are our friends.
Scarlett and I are working on some mini mushrooms because we just love the bigger ones that decided to make baby versions of them.
these ones need stuffing and a little sewing .

Scarlett y yo hemos estado trabajando con unos honguitos porque nos gustaron tanto los grandes que decidimos hacer una version bebe de ellos.
Solo necesitamos rellenarlos y cocerlos y Listo!
