Only the tempered fill to finish, probably 2 more days, then one to cure before grouting....I am working out of a 2.5 gallon bucket of tempered glass, and I have used half of that already.....weighs a ton!!
48 Pontiac - Do a Google image search for "Pontiac hood ornaments" sometime ....... probably the most photogenic.

When I asked to take a picture of her rolling pretzels she looked at me like I was crazy until I promised just to shoot her hands, then she didn't care. Funny how that works sometimes.
Looking up the recipe for duck confit (which is an essential part of cassoulet) while the flageolet beans soak.

Weil Holgi ja so viel nachgefragt hat, wie ich das Curves Bild gemacht habe, habe ich hier mal ein Making Off erstellt. Also: Das war mein Aufbau: Haupt Lichtquelle ist eine kleine, handygroße LED Fläche von Rollei. Die ist mit einem billigen Amazon Klammerarm an meinen superstabilen, 20 Jahre altem Walimex Stativ, aus gefühltem Vollalu, an die Mittelsäule festgeklammert und hängt waagerecht über der Kamera. In den Hintergrund hab ich noch so einen runden Faltrefkektor mit schwarzer Seite gehangen und das Objekt der Begierde auf einem leeren Umzugskartons gelegt. Darunter noch die schwarze Hülle des Faltreflektors, um Reflexionen von unten gegen die Kamera zu vermeiden. Der Raum war trotzdem recht dunkel, um das Licht der kleinen LED besser zu kontrollieren. Fotografiert habe ich dann mit meiner digitalen Kamera mit einem längeren Makro, damit ich mit dem Ausschnitt und dem Hintergrund zurecht komme. Belichtung habe ich händisch mit live Histrogramm ausgesucht, weil das Licht ja konstant war.
Das wichtigste an dem Aufbau war es, die Position. Im Licht zur Kamera einzustellen. Ich glaub, das Licht musste hinter die Kamera leuchten und die Kanten nur noch streifen, damit genau das richtige im Bild angeleuchtet war.

We spend an afternoon making magical mushroom lights in our garden with young Theodore Carman, one of my art students, his mother Isabelle and my friend Jean.
In our first session, we created the mushroom stems and domes, as well as the LED lights for a dozen mushrooms. We made them by soldering surface-mounted LEDs and resistors to a stiff wire, mixing watercolor with clear silicon, shaping the stems and domes with saran wrap.
We got the first mushroom to light up at the end of the day, and it looked truly magical!
In our next session, we will assemble all these parts, drill holes in a wooden log and attach the mushrooms to it, soldering all the wires to a holder with three AA batteries.
If you like, you can easily make your own by following the instructions in this fine video:

It takes about 6 hours to make these mushrooms over two sessions, but the results make it all worthwhile.
For months, Theodore kept asking if we could make these mushrooms during our maker art classes at the Lycée, but I thought this would be too hard for some of the younger kids in our course. So I offered to have him come to our home when the course ended, so we could fulfill his dream in a smaller group.
Making art with friends is such a pleasant experience. I think creative collaborations like these are good for society, and should be encouraged more.

I made my surfboard in the emergency exit stair of my apartment building. I finished glassing it and stored the empty resin containers in a little cupboard in the hall. A week later, we have to evacuate because a fire got started in that hall (I found out later it was someone's cig) but I was a trembling, answering to the fire chief investigator how all those volatile chemical containers got there! The best part was that I had trashed the hall and didn't care cause my landlord was very bad. And then the fire came and gutted it anyways! Everyone wins. Except my bad landlord. He loses.
As for learning how to glass, you have to buy Glassing 101. No one else will tell you how to glass, everyone keeps their info to themselves. That's why everyone else in my class got their boards glassed for them.
And when I was done, those jeans stood up even when i took them off....
Jon fell off first, then Katie, then me but Luther made it to the top of this awkward and balancy route!
Good session down at the Foundry climbing wall in Sheffield..
At Casey Elementary School on Camp Casey Jan. 14, students and parents take part in the school's second annual Math Madness workshop, which aimed to build math proficiency by using games and other activities to make the subject enjoyable for youngsters. In one of those activities, for example, competing groups had to use 20 strands of uncooked spaghetti and about a yard of masking tape to create the tallest possible structure that would support a marshmallow for at least 30 seconds without collapsing. - U.S. Army photo by Pfc.
