Fran decided to take some of her 24 hour lasting shrinking effect tablets that shrinks her to 5 inches tall for you guess 24 hours then returns to her normal size of 5 foot 2 inches. But today we were going on our first date with my ex girlfriend's friend so for a nice teasing prank I swapped her normal temporary effect shrinking tablets for permanent effect shrinking tablets once taken she will stay 5 inches tall for the rest of her life unless she takes an antidote tablet to reverse the shrinking effect her reaction at first is pointing at me "Return me to my normal size" but after a few dates she changed her option "I actually love being 5 inches tall its cool".
This is a demonstration of a tessellation transformation I use sometimes.
I started with the tess on the left here. It is a variation on a 4.8.8 pattern that I designed using pleats with non-parallel creases and rectangular twists.
By shortening the parallel creases in the green "river" and the magenta "river" by 1 grid-unit, as well as every similar river, the tess gets shrunk to the one on the right (sample in lower right corner of this: www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/4822320267/).
This procedure can be done again to the CP on the right, shortening the diagonal creases in the green/magenta rivers by 1 diagonal grid-unit. The result of this second transformation is the Accidental Pseudo Flagstone (cp: www.flickr.com/photos/8303956@N08/4856146976/)
That led to some cropping and playing about in Photoshop, and voila, one shot turns into a little series.
I ended up acetone shrinking Moana’s head to make her proportionally suited to her movie look. It’s a subtle change but I like it more.
So I’ve been doing a bit of head shrinking lately. I really like this Hunger Games Peeta sculpt but I want him on a shorter body. So I’m trying to get him to work with this EAH body and I thought head shrinking him would solve the bobble headed issue but he still looks off somehow. His head is rock hard si I guess he’s shrunk down as much as he could.
And I bought another skateboarding MTM a few days ago to upgrade my Fashionista Style so Sweet head and I figured I should headshrink one of them to make it collector sized. It’s still soft so I’m hoping it shrinks down further.
Meet one of my customer's Emma she was one my customer's who gave me feedback about using my shrinking products that helped change her everyday life. Emma said "I can shrink myself to only 5 inches tall in a few seconds with no side effects beside the tingly feeling afterwards which feels fun. Afterwards I can press a button and return to my normal size when finished for another time!"
. . . when we shrink from the realities of our bodily life: when we refer the functions of the man and the woman, their sex, their passion, their normal necessary desires, to something which is to be kept in the dark and lied about instead of being avowed and gloried in. Walt Whitman
Edited NASA/ESA/Mars Express image of Jezero Crater with various landing ellipses superimposed. As technology and techniques improved, landing ellipses have shrunk a great deal.

Original caption: The white circle near the center of this image of Mars represents the location where NASA’s Perseverance rover is expected to land on Feb. 18, 2021.
See the clean version (no text annotations).
The landing ellipse, measuring 4.8 miles by 4.1 miles (7.7 kilometers by 6.6 kilometers), places the rover at the site of an ancient river delta which could harbor signs of fossilized microbial life. The fan-like shape of the delta is visible in this image, as is the crater rim. The crater was once filled with a lake several hundred feet deep.
Jezero Crater sits within the Isidis Planitia region of Mars, where an ancient asteroid or comet impact left behind a large basin some 750 miles (1200 kilometers) across. This event forever changed the rocks in and around the basin. A later, smaller impact created Jezero Crater within the Isidis impact basin. There is evidence of ancient river flow into Jezero, forming a lake that has long since been dry. Scientists believe that these events likely created environments friendly to life.

I noticed quite a few joggers today. This was by far the cutest runner of the bunch, and she was planning to continue down to Lake Rudan for a bit of swimming and sunbathing. Her name is Marta. She is a university student, at least for a few more weeks. Come July, she can call herself a psychologist. Marta is a dog lover. She stays fit by working out at the gym.

If anyone is wondering about my My Scene boy head, he finally grew rock hard as well so I can safely say he’s finished in shrinking as well. There was a definite drastic difference than my other attempt at shrinking the MS head in polish remover especially in the dome of his scalp. Though comparatively his jaw is similar in size to his original size though the overal face shape had changed.
He’s roughly the same size as a Ken head and much smaller than my Disney Store Kristoff head despite the face that Kristoff has a smaller head than an original MS head.
His neck had already been reamed out by Andrea to fit a Fashionista body before soaking in acetone and surprisingly his head still fits on the body despite drastically shrinking in size.
I plan to give him sculpted hair and a face up to look similar to a Japanese vintage GI Joe so wish me luck.

Charlie and her friends shrunk to 5 inches tall for some tiny fun by driving Charlie's tiny car around her apartment and watching a film in her car.
I ended up with 33 pendants, not counting the one that shrunk weird and the one that fell out of the pile that I didn't find until after the oven was turned off.
Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Monocoupe 110 Special:
Air show pilot and aerobatic champion W. W. "Woody" Edmondson thrilled audiences with his Monocoupe 110 Special throughout the 1940s. Edmondson, who named the airplane Little Butch for its bulldog-like appearance, placed second to "Bevo" Howard and his Bücker Jungmeister in the 1946 and '47 American Aerobatic Championships, but he won the first International Aerobatic Championship in 1948.
The Monocoupe 110 Special was a clipped-wing version of the 110, part of a line that began with Don Luscombe's Mono 22 and continued with the 70, 90, and 110 models. The sport coupes of the 1930s, these fast and maneuverable aircraft were ideal for racers Phoebe Omlie and Johnny Livingston. Ken Hyde of Warrenton, Virginia, restored Little Butch prior to its donation to the Smithsonian.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | De Havilland-Canada DHC-1A Chipmunk, Pennzoil Special:
De Havilland originally designed the Chipmunk after World War II as a primary trainer to replace the venerable Tiger Moth. Among the tens of thousands of pilots who trained in or flew the Chipmunk for pleasure was veteran aerobatic and movie pilot Art Scholl. He flew his Pennzoil Special at air shows throughout the 1970s and early '80s, thrilling audiences with his skill and showmanship and proving that the design was a top-notch aerobatic aircraft.
Art Scholl purchased the DHC-1A in 1968. He modified it to a single-seat airplane with a shorter wingspan and larger vertical fin and rudder, and made other changes to improve its performance. Scholl was a three-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, an air racer, and a movie and television stunt pilot. At air shows, he often flew with his dog Aileron on his shoulder or taxied with him standing on the wing.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Concorde, Fox Alpha, Air France:
The first supersonic airliner to enter service, the Concorde flew thousands of passengers across the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound for over 25 years. Designed and built by Aérospatiale of France and the British Aviation Corporation, the graceful Concorde was a stunning technological achievement that could not overcome serious economic problems.
In 1976 Air France and British Airways jointly inaugurated Concorde service to destinations around the globe. Carrying up to 100 passengers in great comfort, the Concorde catered to first class passengers for whom speed was critical. It could cross the Atlantic in fewer than four hours - half the time of a conventional jet airliner. However its high operating costs resulted in very high fares that limited the number of passengers who could afford to fly it. These problems and a shrinking market eventually forced the reduction of service until all Concordes were retired in 2003.
In 1989, Air France signed a letter of agreement to donate a Concorde to the National Air and Space Museum upon the aircraft's retirement. On June 12, 2003, Air France honored that agreement, donating Concorde F-BVFA to the Museum upon the completion of its last flight. This aircraft was the first Air France Concorde to open service to Rio de Janeiro, Washington, D.C., and New York and had flown 17,824 hours.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Boeing 367-80 Jet Transport:
On July 15, 1954, a graceful, swept-winged aircraft, bedecked in brown and yellow paint and powered by four revolutionary new engines first took to the sky above Seattle. Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the 367-80, better known as the Dash 80, would come to revolutionize commercial air transportation when its developed version entered service as the famous Boeing 707, America's first jet airliner.
In the early 1950s, Boeing had begun to study the possibility of creating a jet-powered military transport and tanker to complement the new generation of Boeing jet bombers entering service with the U.S. Air Force. When the Air Force showed no interest, Boeing invested $16 million of its own capital to build a prototype jet transport in a daring gamble that the airlines and the Air Force would buy it once the aircraft had flown and proven itself. As Boeing had done with the B-17, it risked the company on one roll of the dice and won.
Boeing engineers had initially based the jet transport on studies of improved designs of the Model 367, better known to the public as the C-97 piston-engined transport and aerial tanker. By the time Boeing progressed to the 80th iteration, the design bore no resemblance to the C-97 but, for security reasons, Boeing decided to let the jet project be known as the 367-80.
Work proceeded quickly after the formal start of the project on May 20, 1952. The 367-80 mated a large cabin based on the dimensions of the C-97 with the 35-degree swept-wing design based on the wings of the B-47 and B-52 but considerably stiffer and incorporating a pronounced dihedral. The wings were mounted low on the fuselage and incorporated high-speed and low-speed ailerons as well as a sophisticated flap and spoiler system. Four Pratt & Whitney JT3 turbojet engines, each producing 10,000 pounds of thrust, were mounted on struts beneath the wings.
Upon the Dash 80's first flight on July 15, 1954, (the 34th anniversary of the founding of the Boeing Company) Boeing clearly had a winner. Flying 100 miles per hour faster than the de Havilland Comet and significantly larger, the new Boeing had a maximum range of more than 3,500 miles. As hoped, the Air Force bought 29 examples of the design as a tanker/transport after they convinced Boeing to widen the design by 12 inches. Satisfied, the Air Force designated it the KC-135A. A total of 732 KC-135s were built.
Quickly Boeing turned its attention to selling the airline industry on this new jet transport. Clearly the industry was impressed with the capabilities of the prototype 707 but never more so than at the Gold Cup hydroplane races held on Lake Washington in Seattle, in August 1955. During the festivities surrounding this event, Boeing had gathered many airline representatives to enjoy the competition and witness a fly past of the new Dash 80. To the audience's intense delight and Boeing's profound shock, test pilot Alvin "Tex" Johnston barrel-rolled the Dash 80 over the lake in full view of thousands of astonished spectators. Johnston vividly displayed the superior strength and performance of this new jet, readily convincing the airline industry to buy this new airliner.
In searching for a market, Boeing found a ready customer in Pan American Airway's president Juan Trippe. Trippe had been spending much of his time searching for a suitable jet airliner to enable his pioneering company to maintain its leadership in international air travel. Working with Boeing, Trippe overcame Boeing's resistance to widening the Dash-80 design, now known as the 707, to seat six passengers in each seat row rather than five. Trippe did so by placing an order with Boeing for 20 707s but also ordering 25 of Douglas's competing DC-8, which had yet to fly but could accommodate six-abreast seating. At Pan Am's insistence, the 707 was made four inches wider than the Dash 80 so that it could carry 160 passengers six-abreast. The wider fuselage developed for the 707 became the standard design for all of Boeing's subsequent narrow-body airliners.
Although the British de Havilland D.H. 106 Comet and the Soviet Tupolev Tu-104 entered service earlier, the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 were bigger, faster, had greater range, and were more profitable to fly. In October 1958 Pan American ushered the jet age into the United States when it opened international service with the Boeing 707 in October 1958. National Airlines inaugurated domestic jet service two months later using a 707-120 borrowed from Pan Am. American Airlines flew the first domestic 707 jet service with its own aircraft in January 1959. American set a new speed mark when it opened the first regularly-scheduled transcontinental jet service in 1959. Subsequent nonstop flights between New York and San Francisco took only 5 hours - 3 hours less than by the piston-engine DC-7. The one-way fare, including a $10 surcharge for jet service, was $115.50, or $231 round trip. The flight was almost 40 percent faster and almost 25 percent cheaper than flying by piston-engine airliners. The consequent surge of traffic demand was substantial.
The 707 was originally designed for transcontinental or one-stop transatlantic range. But modified with extra fuel tanks and more efficient turbofan engines, the 707-300 Intercontinental series aircraft could fly nonstop across the Atlantic with full payload under any conditions. Boeing built 855 707s, of which 725 were bought by airlines worldwide.
Having launched the Boeing Company into the commercial jet age, the Dash 80 soldiered on as a highly successful experimental aircraft. Until its retirement in 1972, the Dash 80 tested numerous advanced systems, many of which were incorporated into later generations of jet transports. At one point, the Dash 80 carried three different engine types in its four nacelles. Serving as a test bed for the new 727, the Dash 80 was briefly equipped with a fifth engine mounted on the rear fuselage. Engineers also modified the wing in planform and contour to study the effects of different airfoil shapes. Numerous flap configurations were also fitted including a highly sophisticated system of "blown" flaps which redirected engine exhaust over the flaps to increase lift at low speeds. Fin height and horizontal stabilizer width was later increased and at one point, a special multiple wheel low pressure landing gear was fitted to test the feasibility of operating future heavy military transports from unprepared landing fields.
After a long and distinguished career, the Boeing 367-80 was finally retired and donated to the Smithsonian in 1972. At present, the aircraft is installated at the National Air and Space Museum's new facility at Washington Dulles International Airport.

Pour le premier dimanche du lieu unique, aux champs libres à Rennes, Lawrence Malstaf, artiste visuel de renommée internationale, a présenté Shrink. À la fois performance physique et fascinante sculpture vivante, Shrink est une installation qui interpelle.
Un immense sac en plastique transparent, suspendu à un haut châssis; une pompe permettant d’aspirer l’air dans le sac afin d’y faire le vide; et, comme emballé dans le sac, le corps du performer qui rétrécit inexorablement, au fur et à mesure que le vide se fait et que la pression augmente.

Emma is glad that it snowed today. She shrunk herself to go out and play. She wasn't harmed or chased by cats as she is protected by her normal size friend. Emma posted to Facebook with this cheeky photo "I've shrunk myself to 5 inches tall to have a cute snow day with my best friend!"
Fran is my 4th shrunken subject and is now 5 inches tall. Here is is ready to hit the town hoping she will get hit on by a normal size boy.
