Although Palpatine tasked Stormtrooper Bruce with watching his nephew's cat while a foreign delegation is on board, STB was determined to still have Movie Night. After all, watching Cujo Kitty can be quite challenging, so some R&R was desperately needed!
STB: Sorry for the "intermission" guys, but as you can see Doody Duty calls!
TK-1110: Dude, that's totally disgusting! And why's Cujo staring at us like that?
TK-432: Dude! That's totally awesome. That looks just like those Kitty Litter Cakes you bake! But, um, yes, why is he staring at us?
STB: Well, whenever Cujo has been a "good boy" he expects a treat as a reward. And you two are the closest to his treat box, so one of you might consider tossing him one - sooner than later. Just saying.
TK-1110: So, what's up with that camera? Or do we want to know?
STB: As crazy as Cujo is, turns out he can be kinda cute at times, especially when he's sleeping! So, I've been taking photos. Who knows - I might make a cat calendar for Little Dude.
TK-321: I still don't get it, why can't Cujo stay in Little Dude's quarters while those visitors are on board? Are they super allergic to cats, or something?
STB: It seems the visitors are kinda like giant mouse people, and Palpatine is afraid Cujo might eat one of them.
TK-1110: Yes, I can see where that might cause intergalactic tension. Think I'll just, um, go ahead and toss him some treats, before I get eaten!

Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. These trimmings are hidden in the pocket with the green embroidered blocks.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
One of the things that impressed me about the film props on display at the Harry Potter Studio Tour was the really minute detail on display. This mark was on an orrery prop–there's no way anyone would ever see this detail on screen, only the folks who made this, and perhaps an actor who was particularly attentive, would see it at all. It didn't need to be there, but it is.

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!

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

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.

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.

Three years ago, while wandering the streets of inner Brisbane, I happened across the small shop of a violin maker.
Here is the apprentice and she said it is almost impossible to find somewhere to do an apprenticeship. She will take just over 6 years, before Ilja Grawert may sign off on her certificate as a qualified violin maker.
I have since seen a story on this shop on TV, and Ilja Grawert is quite famous for his skills.
This is from his website:
Ilja Grawert began his apprenticeship at 18 in Bremen, Germany, under some of Europe's best violinmakers.
After migrating to Brisbane in 1994, Ilja now has a shop in Woolloongabba, Brisbane.
He welcomes the chance to chat with anyone interested in the art of violinmaking, and is happy for people to watch while he works.
This is a sign of the times in more ways than one. Firstly, I posted a different shot of her and my editing skills have improved since then, so it was interesting to compare the two.
This one had over-exposed arm, an overly warm colour temperature giving a pinkish color and was not so sharp.
See the other image below.
I suspect that this image was the less presentable at the time.
Secondly, this is a dying art, where instruments, and indeed many other things are now mass produced in factories by faceless people paid a pittance in under-developed countries, for the consumtion of the western world.
This might be less so for specialised instruments like violins, but the grim reaper can't be far away.
Wonder if SHE is certified yet. The website speaks of Kate, so parhaps this is her. I must go and revisit them soon.

Maker: Baron Raimond von Stillfried (1839-1911)
Born: Austria
Active: Japan
Medium: albumen print from collodion glass negative
Size: 9.5 in x 7.6 in
Location: Japan
Object No. 2016.707
Shelf: A-23
Publication:
Other Collections:
Provenance:
Notes: Along with Felice Beato, who taught him photography, Austrian Baron Raimund von Stillfried-Ratenicz (1839-1911) is certainly one of the most remarkable western photographers who settled in Japan during XIXth century. He opened his own studio in 1871 and beginning in 1876 started a partnership with the German Hermann Andersen. They acquired the negatives of Felice Beato who had moved into finance and trade before vanishing towards other destinations in 1884. Stillfried and Andersen parted in 1878 and in 1885 all their negatives and photography stock was sold to Italian Adolfo Farsari (1841-1898). In 1886, all negatives from the Stillfried/Andersen company, including those of Beato, are destroyed by a fire in the Farsari Studio in Yokohama. This print was acquired from an Austrian source and the fact that it is untrimmed and has no negative number may mean it is an early print
taken by Stillfried to Austria when he traveled there in 1873

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
