Batches? We don't need no stinkin' batches!
But seriously ladies and germs... batching is definitely the way to go, once you know what you're doing it's not much longer to build three instead of one.
Watch a video of the next step, routing the chamfers...
Eye detection & localization following face tracking, using Haar cascades. total calc time 7 milliseconds, including face tracking. Once eyes are located, other facial features are much easier to find, as the eyes divide the head (good old painter's rules) and define an important facial axis. Note "friend" behind right shoulder made from painter's tape, helping to deliberately confuse the face tracker (works!).
My first attempt at slippers!
Yay, me!
These were my Xmas gift to my father. The ivory yarn is a heavy wool, and the dark stripes are "Berella 4" in navy and burgundy. I had to hold the two colours together to equal the heaviness of the white wool.
Crocheted in back loop slip stitch, they are very stretchy and soft - like knitted ribbing.
The striped foot was worked flat and the seam is down the centre - creating the "V" pattern.
The cuff was also worked flat and sewn into a tube, then sewn to the foot.
My own design.
They fit my Dad perfectly!

Building a parametric rig to control the skeleton of my housing project this semester. This slide explains how it works and the two previous images show more variations produced with the same system. Once I develop this a bit more it's going to be time to merge it with the earlier experiments in applying cellular geometry to a surface-- skeleton meets skin.
All in all this work represents my attempt to tread the line between my personal interests and those of my critic, who is definitely more concerned with the structural and pragmatic aspects of housing.
Happy New Year 2016...
This is my 1st cardboard mechanical toy project for the new year... I decided to document the stages in its production...
It is designed by a high school engineering teacher in England (for a wood-shop class), but I am using cardboard at home in California...
The studio assignment this semester is to design a rather large series of housing blocks (GDR much?). I've taken as systematic an approach as possible-- trying to walk the line between abstract and modular. In other words, can a housing project with all its myraid variations and demands be developed like a set of APIs* between central features like plumbing, public gathering, dwelling, etc?
We will see. Review is tuesday.
*The API model seems most conceptually appropriate to my earlier investigations into parametric control systems. Still mulling this over...
South-facing view of the kitchen from the doorway to the dining room. It's huge, I know!

Probably need to look at the big version to see everything. Some examples of parametrically driven patterns. On the right is a view into the 'code' (what do you call this spaghetti?) that drives it.
I'm working on a new piece that is making me break out the books and do research so I get some things right.
If you look closely enough, you'll see my cat lurking.
Here's my KM custom with the first 2 or 3 coats of purple paint on him. This paint is very thin and takes several coats to build up a nice smooth opaque look (it took like 10 coats), so that's why it looks a bit "patchy" right now. I left parts of him white because they will be painted different colours. You can see my design + colour key sketch in the background. ;)
First time ever trying to make a dresden plate.
Made from my scraps!
It's pretty addicting!
Used this tutorial and changed the size of the template to be smaller and thinner.

I’m currently making two plush dolls for a special project, so I thought I’d share some in progress pics and talk about making them. :)

***PIC #10***
The dolls are both happy (and unhappy) with their new smiles, and can’t wait for me to finish them! I’ll be revealing their names & backstories when they’re completed.
To be continued...
