So if you've been following along with my Fishing Boat, the Koroleva Rusalka you would have seen the recent video
I posted about taking it out to the beach. As I said, I learn a few things way back when, i tested out the boat in my tub. It was quite clear the boat was back heavy. So the modification I made to the ship was as followed:
1. The crew quarters in the hull has been raise by two plates to make the interior removable.
2. I added some bulkhead hatches to some of the doors to keep the water out.
3. To further bring the weight up to the front, I switch out the old Ice maker and Refrigeration unit with a couple of modified weighted bricks used for older boat sets that I inherited from my brother. These were original details I had in the old build, but I forgot to take a picture of them beforehand.
Week 2!
Our friends at the Frontroom in Cambridge are curating the Designers/Makers market in Hackney, London for the summer and they asked us to get involved. We are taking care of the first two weekends and followed by some great others.
For our part we set up our temporary 'Fresh Ones' painting studio and made some spontaneous paintings.

'Hedrock almost forgot the spy ray. It continued to glow, the picture on the screen showing the Imperial conference room as clearly as ever. There were still men bowing low over the hand of the cold-faced young woman who sat on the throne chair, and the sound of their voices came distinctly. Everything was as it should be.
'For Hedrock, however, all interest in the palatial room, that courtly scene, had faded. The icy words of the young woman spun around and around in his mind, though minutes had now passed since she had spoken them.
'"Under the circumstances," she had said, "we cannot afford to take further risks with this Weapon Shop turncoat. What has happened is too important. Accordingly, General Grall, you will, as a purely precautionary measure, arrest Captain Hedrock an hour after lunch and and hang him. The time sequence is important, as he will, as usual, sit at my table during lunch, and also because I wish to be present at the execution."'

The Maker:
The Monthaven host a vast number of local and traveling art showcases. This exhibit was all about the history of electronic football, a toy once developed for children now primarily looked on as a slice of art history.
In this picture you will find one of the dedicated artist that hand paints the players pain painstakingly to perfection.

A productive afternoon making art together at Pataphysical Studios.
Doctors Canard and Rindbrain completed an illuminated painting that is constantly changing, as the light box around it cycles through the colors of the rainbow. This creates an ethereal experience, as the brush strokes quietly shimmer and transform, to the sound of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports (see video: vimeo.com/151282015 ). Nicely done, doctors!
Our visitors this week were Michael Easton and his son Kyan, who seemed to enjoy themselves. A friend of Dr. Figurine’s, Michael is quite an accomplished artist, inventor and engineer and showed us some of his cool creations, including magical mushroom lights inspired by this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LjGFkpApw
Doctor Fabio showed a Chinese New Year wonderbox prototype he is building for his upcoming maker workshops (bit.ly/wonderbox-overview ). Doctors Really and Igor worked on bringing sound to more wonderboxes. Dr. Rindbrain showed his new Universe cards about Mamie. Dr. Figurine worked on a Neopixel badge for her lab coat. Doctor Zboon showed some of his new pataphysical talismans. A fine time was had by all.

More booze from Mephit Furmeet. ;-) I am told that this is very good. I do not know,because I really do not drink alcohol.
Thanks anyway! The thought is greatly appreciated, and someone is going to love this after it ages a few more decades.
Our middle-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our sixth class, students worked in teams to make public spaces for their city: underwater mines, segregated neighborhoods, surface rubbles and gated skyscrapers for the rich. This week’s creations included a new city sign, more ladders, more mine workers, and tall, skinny towers scraping the crimson sky.
They also agreed on a final name for their city: 15A, named after its sector coordinates. In their post-apocalyptic city of the future, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines.
I am teaching this after-school class with Geo Monley and Cynthia Gilbert, and we are happy to see our students so engaged in this project. Through this course, they are developing a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they are learn to create interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful and collaborative way that makes learning more fun.

Maker: William Carrick (1827-1878)
Born: UK
Active: Russia
Medium: albumen print
Size: 2 1/4 in x 4 in

Object No. 2022.210
Shelf: B-68
Publication:
Other Collections:
Provenance: wmls41
Rank: 64
Notes: Born in Edinburgh, Carrick spent most of his life in Russia, where his family had been timber merchants since the previous century. After studying architecture at the St Petersburg Academy of Art, he went to Italy, returning to St Petersburg in 1856, only to discover the collapse of the timber trade from the effects of the Crimean War. He decided to take up photography as a career and came to Edinburgh to study with James Good Tunny in 1857. He set up his own studio in St Petersburg with John MacGregor in 1859. In 1858 he was questioned by the secret police after smuggling writings into Russia by the exiled revolutionary, Alexander Herzen. He was married to Alexandrina Markelova, a radical journalist and translator.(source: National Galleries of Scotland)
Carrick and MacGregor made several rural expeditions, including in 1871 a month long trip to Simbirsk province. He amassed a large collection of photographs depicting the lives of Russian and Mordovian peasants. In 1872 his colleague MacGregor died, leaving Carrick in despair. Despite this, Carrick continued his work. In 1876, he became photographer of the Academy of Arts, obtaining a studio in the Academy for his photography. An exhibition of his works was held in the Russian capital in 1869, followed by exhibitions at London (1876) and Paris (1878), all to great acclaim....

Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

Once a week, I mentor Natalina to help her with her french, as well as expand her maker and multimedia skills. In today’s class, we walked around our house talking about everyday objects in French, to develop her vocabulary and conversational skills. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to turn lights on and off in software. She wrote more lines of code on her own to make the lights blink when a button is pressed. She completed all the tasks quickly and keeps getting more fluent in French as well as with technology, which is music to my ears. Based on what we’re learning together, I will adapt some of these lessons for future courses with my maker art classes.
We also discussed and improved the story line for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks. At Natalina’s suggestion, we removed a scene that wasn’t essential, and changed an important plot point to make it more interesting. We discussed how to show her character’s transformation by giving Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands — a material we haven’t used yet, but which looks promising. And we added a new transformation scene in our video storyboard, which now has animations, dialog and music. The overall experience seems to engage people we show it to, which suggests we may be on the right track. More to come ...
Here’s the Arduino Guide I created for these classes: bit.ly/arduino-workshop-guide

We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!
