For my month in Sew Bee Wonky I am asking my fellow bee members to create wonky star blocks. I'm providing a FQ of Kona Lake and some pieces of gray and pink fabrics and am asking them to create a large block, the bigger the better. I'm also asking for a second (optional) small block made from the scraps left over from the first. My hope is to end up with a quilt with many different sizes of stars scattered around it.
This is my large sample block -- it measures 18" (unfinished) and is the largest I could figure out how to make based on the dimenstions of the Kona FQ.

From water sampling to ecosystem studies and trail maintenance, Union Mine High School students put their outdoor skills to the test at the Greenwood Creek River Access on December 5, 2017.
As part of a biannual class focusing on watersheds and ecosystems, students spent the morning in small groups rotating across the area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management in California. Jeff Horn, lead recreation planner for the BLM Mother Lode Field Office, helped oversee activities and provided a brief overview of the nearly 20,000 acres of public lands.
“Greenwood Creek River Access provides the public with access to the many outdoor recreation activities – like fishing, hunting, rafting, biking and horseback riding – that you would expect from such an amazing place,” Horn said.
Mother Lode, also known as Gold Country for its numerous mining districts, is a historic area along the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
Students hiked a short distance to the South Fork of the American River, which offers renowned whitewater rafting and fishing opportunities. One group of students measured phosphate, nitrogen and pH levels in the river with a multiparameter water-testing meter, while others learned about the importance of public lands in preserving native ecosystems.
A third group assisted with the identification and removal of Scotch broom along nearby trails. The invasive shrub has damaged the habitats of native plants and animals in the area, and can be removed with a specialized tool. Students also repaired a split-rail fence and helped define trail boundaries using downed tree branches.
“I’ve never had the opportunity to come out here before,” said Chris, one of the students learning about trail maintenance, who said he looks forward to mountain biking in the area with his family.
Union Mine High School teachers emphasized the importance of applying science studies in a real-world environment, and allowing students to see how biologists and hydrologists conduct testing and experimentation.
“For some kids, they have never been out on the river; they have never been on trails and hikes, so this is just a good experience to get them out of their comfort zone and hopefully make them want to come back out,” said Chad McGowan, a biology teacher and Science Department chair at Union Mine High School.
This event is part of the BLM’s ongoing mission to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

The Remote Access water Sampler (RAS) was recovered today afer a 2-year deployment in 2300 metres of water. It contains samples of water taken over months from an area near hydrothermal vents.

PNNL scientists can better understand larger biological molecules such as proteins with the help of a tiny glass tube, called an emitter, that's used in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The improved production allows emitters to spray aerosols at extremely low, controlled rates without clogging. This enables more of the sample to be analyzed by the mass spectrometer, which helps scientists learn more about the molecules they study.

Indigo dyed cotton, folded and stitched. I don't like the fold line along the middle. Just a sample though. Might look better vertically.
Preparations for transport of collected samples after completion of the mission.
IAEA experts visited Japan from 8 to 14 September 2014 and -- together with staff from NRA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- collected water samples from the sea at five locations near TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
The water samples were shared both between the IAEA Environmental Laboratories and the Japanese Laboratories to e=be analyzed independently.

Fake food samples appear prevalently in the windows and display cases of food-serving establishments throughout Japan. Once made from wax, today they are usually made out of plastic. The plastic models are mostly handmade from vinyl chloride and carefully sculpted to look like the actual dishes. The models are custom-tailored to restaurants and even common items such as ramen will be modified to match each establishment's food. During the molding process, the fake ingredients are often chopped up and combined in a manner similar to actual cooking.
The craftsmanship has been raised to an art form and plastic food has been exhibited at places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum. Regular competitions are held in making fake food dishes out of plastic and other materials. The food displays are usually called sampuru, derived from the English word sample.
The plastic food manufacturers fiercely guard their trade secrets as business is lucrative; the plastic food industry in Japan, by conservative estimates, has revenues of billions of yen per year. A single restaurant may order a complete menu of plastic items costing over a million yen.
In recent years, Japanese plastic food manufacturers have been targeting markets overseas, such as China.
Plastic food manufacturers
While some large companies exist, others are small shops with a single proprietor. They can be found in Kappabashi-dori, the food supply street in Tokyo. Factories can be found in Gujō, Gifu.
Iwasaki Be-I, the biggest plastic food manufacturer in Japan, founded by Takizo Iwasaki in 1932

When school is out, there are also summer fish jobs on the Buskin River! These two high school students are interns for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and are sampling salmon at the Buskin River weir.

The first sample had to include fabric manipulation and hand embroidery stitches to create texture. I space dyed the background cotton then did cutwork circles before pleating and smocking it. I used tied threads to smock the fabric and did buttonhole lace on some of the fabric folds
