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 exist in the relations. Others create me and I am a reflection of others. I wanna be part of you - your body, your moment, your story, and your life. Once I met him. This encounter is still a memorable moment of something that moves me forward, let me dance and spin around. His body stucked to mine and we were breathing together. I have been embraced from inside, I became part of him. We were together, once and for ever."
I decided to make this delicious apple pie with my new pie making kit that I got for my eighth birthday. I used half of everything to make this. This is half of one normal pie. Hayley wanted to help because she likes to do things that I do.
This is the way Tibetan nomads make butter from fresh yak milk, using an old fashioned hand-powered separator. The family we stayed with for the night had afforded the luxury of having an electric one, powered by a large solar panel, however (not shown in this picture).
Pairs of golden ceremonial scissors used to cut the ribbon to Sokcho's new rodeo street.
These were fascinating but the sheen on them with the night lights, people in the way and the vintage prime lens (Helios 44-2) made focusing very difficult. Nevertheless, a satisfactory and unusual image.
Every morning at six am, the people of Luang Prabang come out to the main street to give offerings of food to the monks of those temples as they make their way, barefoot and single file on their morning alms rounds.

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.

a hilarious two-tone muslin for an Alabama Chanin knit skirt. I have become obsessed with knits currently and am apparently convinced I will now be handsewing skirts. HA! We'll see, won't we?
I had to add 4 inches (in width) to the pattern so I wanted to whip up a quick muslin (so to speak) to see if that was going to work fit wise. Indeed it is altho I think I'm going to chop 2 inches off the length (see below shot).
I used the leftovers from these skirts' waistbands (wow I overbought that fabric, eh?) but because of the weird size pieces I had left I had to a) not lay the pattern out correctly on the grainline and b) go two-tone using two fabrics that are oddly entirely different in weight. not that it matters, on a muslin, it just makes it even more hilarious when you are shuffling around your house in this thing!
Well I've got a pattern ready so now to find some fabric that will actually work for it and work on perhaps some reverse applique. :)
Hmmm, maybe I should attempt a muslin run at that also. Probably a good idea. More to come soon!
