So, a month ago I decided to build a sailing canoe. The boat will be an Artemis. I met Axel, the designer of the boat at the International sailing canoe criterium in Bremen. After that, we had great fun exchanging manymanymany secret plans over email, and put them all in a spreadsheet. The plan is to spice up the boat, and see how much speed can be got out. I was very comfortable sailing the canoe in a very gusty wind force four. With that being the first time in a sail canoe for me (awkward steering!), I think we can do more. Ok, forget the secrets. The best things that stick out from the plans right now are:
Add a sliding plank seat, Axel has a plan, I'm guessing something like the blue canoe: something simple, small, but that will allow me to do a full hike on the end of the plank, then can be stored inside the boat. 2 kilos. Hiking straps will go somewhere too.EC-Meade Gougeon
The Bufflehead rig: this rig is tested, developed, and works. I enquired with Meade Gougeon (who actually answered!), he has the sweetest looking canoe rig around. I want to go there, but I'll start easy, and, since he builds his own masts, it is hard to get a reference point to copy his rig.
skin the outside with carbon: it will give a stiff boat. I plan to fiddle around with the hull, so I'll want something that I can modify later. Maybe I'll do the inside with kevlar.
Add a jib/gennaker. Small dinghy gennakers can be picked up easily. Using a sock they can be hoisted and taken down with a single line. I already bought a nice IMCS 32 windsurf mast (bowsprit?). Even better would be to use a code zero on roller, just like the Weta trimaran, but these things are more expensive, and may need quite some shroud tension to roll well. I'm not sure if that is a good idea on an unstayed mast. Which brings me to the next point;
Stay the mast: to add more sail, stays may be needed. I'll just love buying some of that new no stretch, no creep dyneema line (SK99), to use as stays. Then, Meade Gougeon did it as well. He won his class in the Everglades challenge. Maybe it is a good idea?
Add a profiled rudder: when I did the test sail on Artemis, and got the boat planing, I felt the rudder become a bit shaky. I'll look for something with a profile, then try and fit that to the stern. Maybe the rudder of an Optimist, a second had finn from the windsurfer, or an old catamaran rudder. I can cut it up a bit to suit the size.
Then there is the minor issue of actually building the hull.
What????
Oh.
Yeah.
Sure.
So, I prepared my workshop (the upstairs computer/hobby room, the boat will go out of the window, then over the fence of the neighbours, they don't know that yet ;) I laid a cardboard floor, got everything out, and got the tools in. The pc will have to stay, as there is no other place in the house for it.
Having studied the manuals Axel put on his site a few times already, I was a bit apprehensive about the last bit of day 7: coating the entire outer skin with glass (carbon in my case). I've worked with carbon before, but that was for International Moth bits, not large areas of lamination. So, having set up my workshop, I decided to shoot some blanks and practice. I had some old scraps of carbon and epoxy lying around, and studied on youtube (long live youtube!). I'll invest in a proper squeegee, but for now, a scrap of wood helped me spread the epoxy. It seems to work!
[pic]
I'd like to get a feel for how thick the layer of epoxy will become, and to get an idea of how much to sand off (I've learned the rule: stop when your dust turns black). So, as I write this the first layer of epoxy is curing, when it gets sticky I'll do a second. With the squeegee, even one I made myself in a few minutes, it was easier then I thought. I was worried about the cloth starting to shift around, but it didn't happen.
Meanwhile, Axel has been quite busy to construct the kit. The main parts are ready now. Now there's finding a way to get the boat from Switzerland to the Netherlands. We'll try and work with one shipping company to pick up the boat in Switzerland, then deliver it here. That may avoid toll and tax issues, or the kit getting stuck somewhere. Time for a next coat of epoxy now.

Yes, it's kind of a boring frozen dock, but I needed to shoot something with all different tones and see what kind of tones I could get through using the 2 hour stand development. I think it was a success. You can pretty much pick out all the tones, the only thing I'm a little disappointed in is the bottom left of the screen which is the the dark bark shoreline. I was hoping for a bit more texture there. Sure, it would be easy to correct digitally, but that would of course defeat the whole purpose.

Squeeks has the sweetest face. Here, he's starting to show his age a bit. He'd be 63 if he were human! I think he's doing a lot better than most 63 year olds, at least in agility. Tenacious to the core, he'll instigate fights with Barrymore if he doesn't get his tuna when he thinks he should!

In November 2022, I returned to physical studios for only the second time since Covid-19 and took part in two sets of courses/workshops (experimental screenprinting and monoprinting techniques).
Here I premixed colours with acrylic medium and applied the design onto the screen while the ink was still wet. The first print was precise - sometimes the second print, where the original ink had moved / blended because of the motion of the squeegee in the first print, provided an interesting image

This is Tigger, faithful guardian of Sugar Mill Gardens in Port Orange, FL. Tigger lives on the gounds and greets those who visit. Yesterday, Knowing it would be freezing, I brought him a nice, warm blanket, which he promptly cuddled into, but today when I returned to check on him. the blanket was gone.
Today, anticipating this, I brought him a little cat bed with another blanket. It is expected to go down to 26 degrees tonight. He seems sick. His nose is runny and he walks like he's hurting. He was drooling when I fed him some treats- something my cat, Squeegee does, and Squeeks does it when he's in pain. (He's been on pain meds for years.) It breaks my heart because Tig is a lot like Squeeks in temperament and looks.

promo piece i did for my sign shop. i thought this would make a fun poster. created entirely in corel draw. (man it would have been faster to just ink this thing but i'm pretty happy with how it came out.
interested in getting a poster of this-give me a call 608-873-7341 or email @ ducksoupsigns@tds.net
Half-way finished with cleaning the rear window. The lambswool duster, lying on the roof, did a great job, removing 98% of the dust. (The remaining 2% was removed with my standard system of water and squeegee.) The duster is also good for wiping license plates and headlights, but is worthless in wet weather.
Road dust accumulated as I drove from City of Rocks Natural Reserve in southern Idaho to Utah's Highway 30, my standard "backroads route." The view is westward, across SR 30 and toward Dove Creek Pass.
Story of the duster:
After leaving home on this trip I realized that I had forgotten to bring a dust brush for window-cleaning (I had planned to bring a drafting brush). To remedy the situation I bought a paint brush in Pendleton, Oregon, but using it was too labor-intensive. In Glenns Ferry, Idaho the hardware store almost had what I wanted, but it wasn't quite right and was too expensive. After checking four stores in Twin Falls, Idaho I found the duster. It's too bad I didn't have it when I drove to Jump Off Joe Butte.

Subsistence strategies such as panhandling (begging for money, food or other items), busking (providing entertainment for money), and squeegeeing (washing car windshields for money) are informal economic activities commonly associated with homelessness. It is not uncommon to see homeless people panhandling on the streets of Canada's larger cities, in order to survive. People who engage in such activities often have real difficulties in participating in the labour market, due to their poverty, hunger, compromized health, disability, mental health challenges and other barriers to employment. Panhandling or squeegeeing allow people to earn income on a day to day basis so that they can meet their immediate needs for food, shelter, hygiene products and entertainment, for instance. For more information on homelessness and subsistence strategies please visit the Homeless Hub: www.homelesshub.ca
For epoxy applicators we all use more or less the same tools - but where do the various tools - the squeegee, the brush (we give it a haircut) and the roller excel. How working time of epoxy is not just a matter of fast medium or slow hardener
Read below to find out more.
The Aim of Epoxy Coating your Boat
Epoxy keeps the water away from the wood, extending the life of your boat.Expense of epoxy means that it needs to be applied in the most controlled method possible. Choosing the right epoxy applicator to apply the right amount of epoxy essential.
Not enough and the epoxy layer might crack when the wood flexes or just be absobed leaving the surface dry. Defects in a smooth shiny epoxy surface allows moisture in, apply too much and you'll have an expensive and heavy vessel.
Why does my epoxy go off too fast? Use the Correct tool and correct method
Epoxy going off too fast is usually because of a poor approach to application. Only rarely is it a problem with choice of hardener. I recommend standard hardener but work on technique to get the epoxy out on the surface.
I've spent most of my life living in hot areas (Adelaide Australia on the edge of the desert and the Philippines. I think in terms of the production environment and usually order the fast hardener because even if there is a cold snap the work will be ready to continue processing the next day.
Method has much more power than the speed of the hardener.

Since hat materials were not rationed during World War II, a wide variety of women’s hat styles emerged during the 1940s. Hats were often decorated with feathers, veils, and artificial flowers. The styles were gutsy, dramatic and a reflection of the times.

Notes: Extremely rare example of an 1850's pannotype on black oilcloth from Spain. These direct positive collodion images were made on glass and transferred onto a secondary support material by placing the glass plate bearing the image in an acidified water bath that caused the collodion film to shrink. The secondary support was then placed in the water and the two were taken out of the bath with the image in contact with the surface of the secondary support. The back of the support was then pressed against the glass with a squeegee and the plate. The back of the plate was then gently heated until the image and support fell from the glass. Often called pannotypes, from the Latin word pannos meaning cloth, these images were transferred onto black oil cloth, patent leather, and black enameled paper.
The origins of the pannotype are steeped in controversy. Jean Nicolas Truchelut, a student of the photography pioneer Louis Daguerre, is credited with its invention. However, the Wülff brothers – chemist-retailers in Paris – helped refine the pannotype process and attempted to patent it. Truchelut challenged their claim, and due to leaks in the press, the process was never formally patented.
As a result, little documentation survives about the exact methods and materials used, adding to the mystery surrounding these rare images. Because they were never standardized in the way other photographic processes were, pannotypes exist in multiple variations, with differences in material choices and finishing techniques.

I paid 250 dollars for this piece of crap in 1991 or so......it was so rusty and had so many electrical problems....the wipers didn't work, so I had to carry a stolen gas-station squeegee to clear the windshield as it rained or snowed. The color was what I called "Dog Poop Gold". Thanks, Tracy, for selling me this car!

Andy Warhol (1928-1987) was a key figure in Pop Art, an art movement that emerged in America and elsewhere in the 1950s to become prominent over the next two decades.
The Fauves used non-representational color and representational form to convey different sensations. Apply the same idea to the portrait of Marilyn Monroe below, using the controls to adjust the colors. How does the color affect the mood?
Unlike the Fauve colors, the non-representational colors of Pop Art do not depict the artist’s inner sensation of the world. They refer to the popular culture, which also inspires Warhol to experiment with the technique of silkscreen printing, a popular technique used for mass production. In doing so, Warhol moves away from the elitist avant-garde tradition. Initially, many spectators received this new marriage between art and commodity culture with little enthusiasm.
Using photo-stencils in screen-printing, Warhol uses photographic images for his screenprints. The screen is prepared using a photographic process, and then different color inks are printed using a rubber squeegee to press the paint onto the painting through the screen.

So, a month ago I decided to build a sailing canoe. The boat will be an Artemis. I met Axel, the designer of the boat at the International sailing canoe criterium in Bremen. After that, we had great fun exchanging manymanymany secret plans over email, and put them all in a spreadsheet. The plan is to spice up the boat, and see how much speed can be got out. I was very comfortable sailing the canoe in a very gusty wind force four. With that being the first time in a sail canoe for me (awkward steering!), I think we can do more. Ok, forget the secrets. The best things that stick out from the plans right now are:
Add a sliding plank seat, Axel has a plan, I'm guessing something like the blue canoe: something simple, small, but that will allow me to do a full hike on the end of the plank, then can be stored inside the boat. 2 kilos. Hiking straps will go somewhere too.EC-Meade Gougeon
The Bufflehead rig: this rig is tested, developed, and works. I enquired with Meade Gougeon (who actually answered!), he has the sweetest looking canoe rig around. I want to go there, but I'll start easy, and, since he builds his own masts, it is hard to get a reference point to copy his rig.
skin the outside with carbon: it will give a stiff boat. I plan to fiddle around with the hull, so I'll want something that I can modify later. Maybe I'll do the inside with kevlar.
Add a jib/gennaker. Small dinghy gennakers can be picked up easily. Using a sock they can be hoisted and taken down with a single line. I already bought a nice IMCS 32 windsurf mast (bowsprit?). Even better would be to use a code zero on roller, just like the Weta trimaran, but these things are more expensive, and may need quite some shroud tension to roll well. I'm not sure if that is a good idea on an unstayed mast. Which brings me to the next point;
Stay the mast: to add more sail, stays may be needed. I'll just love buying some of that new no stretch, no creep dyneema line (SK99), to use as stays. Then, Meade Gougeon did it as well. He won his class in the Everglades challenge. Maybe it is a good idea?
Add a profiled rudder: when I did the test sail on Artemis, and got the boat planing, I felt the rudder become a bit shaky. I'll look for something with a profile, then try and fit that to the stern. Maybe the rudder of an Optimist, a second had finn from the windsurfer, or an old catamaran rudder. I can cut it up a bit to suit the size.
Then there is the minor issue of actually building the hull.
What????
Oh.
Yeah.
Sure.
So, I prepared my workshop (the upstairs computer/hobby room, the boat will go out of the window, then over the fence of the neighbours, they don't know that yet ;) I laid a cardboard floor, got everything out, and got the tools in. The pc will have to stay, as there is no other place in the house for it.
Having studied the manuals Axel put on his site a few times already, I was a bit apprehensive about the last bit of day 7: coating the entire outer skin with glass (carbon in my case). I've worked with carbon before, but that was for International Moth bits, not large areas of lamination. So, having set up my workshop, I decided to shoot some blanks and practice. I had some old scraps of carbon and epoxy lying around, and studied on youtube (long live youtube!). I'll invest in a proper squeegee, but for now, a scrap of wood helped me spread the epoxy. It seems to work!
[pic]
I'd like to get a feel for how thick the layer of epoxy will become, and to get an idea of how much to sand off (I've learned the rule: stop when your dust turns black). So, as I write this the first layer of epoxy is curing, when it gets sticky I'll do a second. With the squeegee, even one I made myself in a few minutes, it was easier then I thought. I was worried about the cloth starting to shift around, but it didn't happen.
Meanwhile, Axel has been quite busy to construct the kit. The main parts are ready now. Now there's finding a way to get the boat from Switzerland to the Netherlands. We'll try and work with one shipping company to pick up the boat in Switzerland, then deliver it here. That may avoid toll and tax issues, or the kit getting stuck somewhere. Time for a next coat of epoxy now.

The 1 and only Sir Vival. The brainchild of a Worcester Mass inventor who was determined to build the world's safest car. In the early fifties he modified a '47 Hudson and built a car that was in 2 sections, the engine in front connected to the passenger compartment in back via an articulated joint. For maximum visibility the driver sat in the raised turret area surrounded by 360 degree glass cylinder that rotated thru vertical squeegees so the driver wouldn't have to view the road obscured by wiper blades. The car was featured in every auto and mechanical mag of the day. He displayed it at several world's fairs including the NY fair of 64.

The statue on the front of Monmouth's historic Shire Hall is of King Henry V, who was born in Monmouth Castle in 1386. ( Don't you think he looks like he's waving a triumphant squeegee after a successful bout of Royal window-washing)? King Henry's deserved fame is enshrined in William Shakespeare's play bearing his name, I remember seing it at Stratford some years ago but alas, no-one solicited my critical opinion, unlike whoever it was that on leaving a performance of Hamlet was asked what they thought of it "OK" came the reply "but its full of quotations"!
Here's another favourite, reminding me to get a move-on too:-
HENRY V
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there ’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
William Shakespeare 1564 - 1616.
I've been taking my pets to The Colonial Animal Clinic since I was a little girl. Several vets have worked there, and the clinic, which is very near my home, changed hands a couple of years ago. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to continue going there, as one of the vets didn't seem to get along well with my pets, and they didn't like her. Then, Dr. Sanders began working with my other cat, Squeegee, who has had health issues his whole life. When I saw how gentle she was, and how much Squeeks liked her, I knew she'd be our vet!
That's Dr. Sanders on the left, as she begins to examine Tigger to see if there has been any improvement. There was! I've been doubling his food rations in order to try to keep him from losing more weight, since he lost about 2 1/2 lbs. That's 1/6 his body weight, which would be like a 115 pound woman suddenly dropping to 96 lbs. in a month without dieting! The extra food has helped. He's up about a pound since last week!
Below are the other pics I took at the visit this morning. I informed Dr. Sanders that since Tigger is a rather famous cat around the world, having his own group here on Flickr, (Tigger the Gatekeeper's Garden Clubhouse") that she was now a famous vet, as well! She didn't mind at all letting me photograph Tigger's procedures for all of you to see.
Tigger had two shots today- Prednisone, which is a steroid and will help with inflammation in his intestines, and the itching he's been experiencing, and B-12, which should help to get him absorbing nutrients from his food again. Since he gained weight so fast with the extra food, there's a good chance this isn't cancer, which is a huge relief for me, but he still has something that's causing the trouble. Dr. Sanders said it could be that he goes through bouts of inflammatory bowel disease, which can cause symptoms like this. We'll see how Tigger progresses and I will keep you posted. He will have to get another B-12 shot each week for the next month or so, and then, if necessary, another Prednisone. Hopefully, he will be much better by then.
Of course, Tigger let it be known that he wasn't too fond of driving in the car, or getting poked. During the procedures, though, he was wonderful and although not too keen on cooperating, as you can see here, didn't cry, or get ugly with the vet staff! He was, however, quite vocal with Mom on the way home!
Please keep praying for him and for my finances, as these shots are expensive, and I still have some overwhelming debts to deal with.
