The base floor went down last week and the builders made a start on plaster boarding the walls today.

From day 3 of accident to first time shooting. Thanks Steve Molick for taking me out to shoot. Should be walking in a couple of weeks....
The unpiloted ISS Progress 36 resupply vehicle departs from the International Space Station's Zvezda Service Module's aft port on May 10, 2010. Filled with trash and discarded items, the Progress will be used for scientific experiments until it is deorbited and burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

How do you measure progress? Is bigger always better and smaller always more powerful? Is human intervention always necessary, or do we evolve in any case? And is progress always a good thing? These are the questions being asked in Maarten Vanden Eynde´s Pinpointing Progress. In this sculpture he links several modern achievements with one another. At a certain moment, buses, mopeds, bicycles and radios were regarded as the most advanced technology. In the twentieth century these inventions were proudly exported by both the West and the USSR. It was a race to be the most advanced, which would confirm the superiority of an ideology. This sculpture was originally made for the Biennial of Riga in 2018, where today only the tiniest, uppermost item of the spear is produced, the transistor. In this way, Vanden Eynde´s tower visualizes the speed of evolution.
The construction of Pinpointing Progress refers to the town musicians of Bremen, the folk tale of the Brothers Grimm, in which four ageing and mistreated domestic animals join forces in order to escape from their wicked masters. The story attests to the poor working conditions and abuses that often seem to be the flip side of progress. Just think of the building works that Leopold II realized along the Belgian coast, such as the port of Zeebrugge, the coastal road and the station of Ostend. This king, whose misdeeds are among the worst atrocities in history, turned the coast into a region enjoying a global reputation. However, he accomplished this using the wealth he accumulated by exploiting the Congolese population. Today when we think of technological progress, we imagine the developments of tech giants such as Google or Apple, which in their quest for mineral ores in the Congo still make use of child slavery. Violations of human rights appear to be indissolubly linked to modernization. Pinpointing Progress cautiously draws up the balance and understands: one day, the Tower of the Progress might collapse again.
Ex-LMSR 'Jubilee' No. 45699 'Galatea' restarts a charter working from a signal check on the last leg of it's journey into Shrewsbury station. The train is West Coast Railway Company's 1Z49 0552 Cleethorpes - Shrewsbury on 5th October 2013 which operated diesel-hauled to Crewe where 'Galatea' then took over for the remainder of the journey, working via Chester and Wrexham General. Many heads hang out of carriage windows to check progress, as the locomotive approaches the complex point work on the approach to the station.

the afghan spread upon a double (full) bed in the guest room.
this afghan is a study in color, pattern, staying power and patience! using a combo of yarn from my stash and yarn from thrift store adventures, i'm crafting an eclectic and pratical piece of fiber art.
this afghan process began in november 2005. i've worked in huge bursts off and on throughout the last 8 months. my goal is a completed afghan before 2007. will i make it?
Yesterday I started a 'Learn to knit socks' course with two friends from my patchwork class. I have forgotten all I ever knew about knitting with DPN's (which wasn't a lot) so it was a *fun* first lesson.
I struggled big time to begin with and ended up having to rip everything off the needles and start again. But I managed it in the end.....and we have progress! LOL!
My homework for this week is to finish the rib section.

La mia assenza su Flickr è giustificata.
Con un po' di tempo di cartongesso,qualche staffa e un po di volonta',verra' piu' o meno così.

Backdropped by the blue and white Earth, an unpiloted Progress 7 supply vehicle departs from the Zvezda Service Module’s docking port on the International Space Station (ISS) carrying its load of trash and unneeded equipment to be deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. The undocking clears the way for the arrival of a new Progress 8, filled with fresh supplies, which is planned to dock to the station at 1:25 a.m. (CDT)

My lovely porcelain 'Beatrice' by Olga Good modelling some work in progress. The red beading on the bodice looked great in life, but shows up as too out of scale in the photo- back to the drawing board!!

'Twasn't the best light, but I couldn't resist getting photos. After all, someone has been making progress!

Progress is slow on this drawing, perhaps due to being out of practice. I was happy witht the way the pantiles worked out but it is early days so they may require some adjustments. I am drawing with a Pentel 0.3mm mechanical pencil and Tombow Mono Zero eraser in an A4 cartridge paper sketchbook.
I'm still not happy with the flag poles and am likely to change them in the future. The two roof sections look slightly out of place here but works quite well when the interior is not exposed.
The wall section slides into slots in the rear walls. It was a lot clunkier than I originally anticipated do to the inherent misalignments in the bricks but actually improved over time and use. It would be great to get some lighting working in this model, but I am really unsure which method would work best between the 80's lighting kit, yellow, battery powered light bricks, or a custom solution. If anyone has any suggestions let me know in the comments.
