Pinhole blend onto 4x5 Ortho film

One of my favourite shots from Copenhagen. Longer exposure, taken at dusk, nice reflections against the water.

I also wanted to try to shrink a head.

I chose a head that I liked a lot: Raquelle.

I followed the instructions but as you can see the result is not what I hoped.

I tied her hair with cotton yarn and dipped her head in nail polish remover, in a closed jar.

I let it sit for 48h, away from light.

After two days I pulled the head. She showed discolored and the same size.

I let it air dry, but not directly by exposing it to light.

She has begun to shrink, but also to change the color of the skin.

After another day, I washed her, and this is the result.

Shrunken head, paint fairly intact, but skin tone gray.

Successful experiment, but failed at the same time.

Anche io ho voluto provare a rimpicciolire una testa.

Ho scelto una testa che a me piaceva molto: Raquelle.

Ho seguito le istruzioni alla lettera, ma come vedete il risultato non è quello che speravo.

Ho legato i capelli con filo da cucito e immerso la testa in acetone per unghie in un barattolo chiuso.

Ho lasciato riposare per 48 ore al buio.

Dopo due giorni ho estratto la testa che era un po' scolorita e delle stesse dimensioni.

Ho lasciato asciugare all'aria, ma non esponendola direttamente alla luce.

Ha iniziato a ridursi, ma anche a cambiare colore della pelle.

Passato un altro giorno l'ho lavata, e questo è il risultato.

Testa rimpicciolita, paint abbastanza integro, ma skin tone grigiastro.

Esperimento riuscito, ma fallito allo stesso tempo.

Washed, dried and everything. Proper FO shots tomorrow and a binding tutorial to follow.

I love my savings, but lately with all the crisis and crazy fluctuation of the market it fells that my “economic nest” is getting smaller everyday…

190s been using spare VWs for almost 2 years due to its allocated MMCs being transferred to routes like 251, then later moved into WJ. However with WJ slowly gaining more electrics, the MMCs have begun to transfer back home to Brentford, reverting the 190 back to a single decker allocation. Here’s VW1070 at Hammersmith Bus Station still intact with its original dayglow blinds and black headlights back when it was brand new.

For those who were curious, here's a reference picture of the acetone shrunk (shrunken?) Barbie head, center, next to a head of the same sculpt in the original size and a stock Obitsu head for reference.

With the temperatures soaring high in the northern part of India, touching the levels of 46-47 degree centigrade, everybody is eagerly waiting for rains to arrive.

I played with the extra pieces (the girls) after making my doll labels

trying a little concept based work with myself, it wasn't clear what I was doing at first but this is one of the results

43285 (with 43207 on the rear) at Edinburgh Waverley, Saturday 22nd April 2023 with 1V52 06:58 Edinburgh Waverley - Plymouth.

With Carstairs closed for remodeling, and the dreaded rail replacement ("After wondering to myself whether or not it should actually be called a train replacement service" - HMHB) bus in operation, the elegant option was to head south on the ECML with this.
