The Chalon worktable is one of those classic chalon pieces that is often emulated but never matched. The sheer weight and scale of these pieces impose warm authority into the space the occupy. Instantly calming and resorative. Clients can be reassured that they will preserve their value for the years ahead.
Ellen Anderson guides two young gardeners as thet mix potting and conditioning soil in a raised planter box, when U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) People’s Garden Executive Master Gardeners, friends, and family, along with Washington Capitals fans volunteer in the District of Columbia Public Schools’ (DCPS) Beautification Day, on Saturday, August 25, 2012, at Thurgood Marshall Elementary School, in Washington, D.C. Each year people are invited to help “spruce up” public school facilities in preparation for the first day of school. More the 70 volunteers pitched in at this large school facility. The People’s Garden effort involves building and painting raised planter boxes, then preparing the soil mixture so they are “ready to grow.” Additionally, a team that includes descendants of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall assembles a prefabricated garden toolshed. The Justice’s son, John Marshall leads the team, which includes Brianna the Justice’s great-grand daughter in one of many multi-generational efforts at this school today. Washington Capitals Forward Mike Riberio, his family and mascot Slapshot participated in every project underway at Marshall School.

Take one talented nine-year-old with a vivid imagination and love of everything Harry Potter. Add her miniature-making grandmother with a drawer full of woodland supplies and anything might happen.
Once Ellie decided she wanted to do a “Potter” room box, it set me thinking. Her project would have to be something not too large or complicated (Hogwarts was out) and not too expensive (ditto a magic shop). Hagrid’s house -- or hut, as it’s called -- seemed the perfect compromise. So imagine my delight, when asked if she had any ideas, Ellie’s immediate response was “Hagrid’s Hut, Grammy.” There may be 60+ years difference in our ages, but we’re sure on the same wavelength!
Now Ellie has read all the J. K. Rowling books; in fact, some of her favorites she’s read at least three times each. Naturally, she’s a great fan of the films and was adamant we depict the hut from the earlier films, not the latter. Didn’t know there was a difference, did you? Neither did I.
Once Ellie selected the background photo, had it enlarged at a local print shop and glued it on three walls of the box for her, then Ellie took over. She began using paper clay to shape the forest floor so that it sloped down toward the glen where the structure’s located. Also modeled from clay were four large rocks for the house to rest on.
As Ellie stippled three paint colors on the floor, I started shaping walls, using first a paper pattern, then cardboard, finally cutting pieces from foam core, which were taped together. After she painted the exterior walls, Ellie began gluing on fieldstones. I cut a length of ¾” X ¾” wood for the chimney that she also covered with rocks.
Using trees from a Diorama kit, Ellie assembled and painted them. As I worked on producing shapes for the roof, she pressed birdcage gravel into white glue to create a pathway. After a brief lesson in perspective, Ellie realized the path needed to taper as it reached the back wall and smaller trees should be placed behind larger ones.
Ellie built and stained a door while I constructed the stairs. One side note: I had purchased a pair of metal hinges for the front door. “Oh no, Grammy,” she insisted. “It opens in so you won’t see any hinges from the front.” Warning to grandparents everywhere: be prepared for nine-year-old experts.
It was her idea to have Harry standing on the top step rapping, which meant cutting a ball from his hand, then painting over it with flesh-colored paint. She also cut a wand from Ron’s hand and a flute from Hermione’s. The latter created a small problem because it left the girl’s hands in a strange position. “She can stand with her back to the front,” Ellie determined. That’s the mark of a true miniaturist, solving problems as they pop up.
What happened next blew me away. I left four bottles of acrylic paint on the worktable and headed off to get dinner. With absolutely no coaching from me, my talented young granddaughter began texturing the rocks.
Finally, we had to make a determination about the roof. Because neither of us was quite sure what it was made from, we decided to create one of “metal”. After file cards were cut to shape, Ellie covered them with copper paint, adding moss once that dried.
Locating the small Potter figures was the most difficult part of this entire project. I spent hours and hours on the Internet trying to find something in the correct scale. And, just as I was about to give up on the entire idea, there they were: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Hagrid, the White Owl and Fluffy (the three-headed dog). It was a good thing I grabbed them for I never found anything in that 3” size again.
Ellie was delighted when she discovered the small chair and cart amongst some items left from one of my earlier projects. It was her idea to place bark in the cart.
And so, in her debut as a mini-maker, we proudly present Eleanor’s interpretation of Hagrid’s Hut, a room box in ½” scale, based on the popular Harry Potter series.
I need sum tips for the entire front end of the weapon to make it moar N3-like
EDIT: and the scope, the scope needs moar N3
credit to Xanatos for the worktable :D
FURTHER EDITS: it seems I have canceled out of my page by accident and lost the weapon, and I have tried remaking it, and it just isn't working for me. I am abandoning this project, it's out of my league.
An unexpected Boeing C-40B VIP was out at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (Williams Gateway "Willie") today. He spent almost two hours in the pattern doing touch-and-go's. He spent so much time in the pattern that Joe and I were able to get right under him for a few of his approaches. More to come!

I'm planning a sewing room for my Blythes and that's what I started with at the weekend. I ordered a sewing machine as well and the rement sewing kit. Now I need a worktable and a chair. And maybe another shelf?

I very much enjoyed being a part of a daily flickr project again. And a month at a time is something I can definitely handle. My only regret is I didn't get a shot of my hands slicing into a polymer clay cane. I'd had that in mind since day one, but I never managed to get the clay out onto the worktable.
Thank you for joining me in this little project!

This is the third journal I've worked in for the round robin journal swap on swap-bot. This one went from Canada to Australia and then here to Massachusetts.
Made from bits on my worktable, a paper napkin butterfly, a rescued stamp, and a piece from one of the 50 1920's-1940's Nat Geos that I bought today at the thrift store.
Utrecht University Library – Wiel Arets Architects
Size: 36.250 m2 - Design: 1997-2001 - Completion: 2004
The library, which houses 4.2 million books, was intended, in addition to being a place where people could work in a concentrated manner, to also become the intellectual social center for the suburban university campus, where students and others can come to study and meet at all times of the day. The 40 meter tall library and the adjacent, lower parking garage, both clad in glass and concrete imprinted with the same silk-screened figurative pattern, are sited on the major road and pedestrian pathway across the campus. The simple rectangular massing of the library and the repetitive rhythm of its concrete cladding and glazing, which is subtly modulated by the projecting operable sections, stands in stark contrast to the rich, plastic spatial complexity of the interior spaces.
The books are stored in two primary volumes that seem to float up towards the ceiling. The massive, lifted book stack volumes are made of black-painted cast concrete, and the walls have a three-dimensional figural pattern cast into them which matches the two-dimensional pattern imprinted on the exterior glazing. While the black pattern on the glazing filters the natural light entering the building, the pattern embossed in the black-colored concrete walls acts to diffuse and bounce the light deeper into the interior spaces. At the center of the building, a vertical space, running from the ground to the roof, is opened between the two book stack volumes, which are interconnected by a series of stairs and sloping ramps. This central vertical space forms the experiential hinge of the building, interweaving the lines of movement, the spatial layers, and the internal views.
The walls and ceilings of the interior are black and matt, while the floors are white and shiny. The bookshelves are black, while the worktables are white. The predominant black color characterizing the interior is critical to creating the atmosphere of concentration, security, and silent communication essential to the function of the library. The black interior creates a feeling of local enclosure, allowing the inhabitants to conduct the private activity of concentrated study in a public place of collective identity. The only exceptions to this color scheme are the red rubber surfaces used in the book checkout area, the information desks, the auditorium, the bar, and the lounge, all of which are related to the itinerary of public movement through the building.
The individual workspaces are organized in a wide variety of locations and arrangements within the interior, some quite intimate and isolated, and some quite extended and exposed. The individual user can make a choice of where to work, and thus to determine both their ability to be absorbed in their work, and the amount of communication they wish to have with others in the library. Because of the remarkably rich range of sizes and shapes of the workplaces, and the complexly layered sections and the endlessly unfolding spatial intersections within the building, it is possible to recognize and communicate visually with people across the interior, and even from floor to floor, while at the same time being undisturbed by those sitting nearby.
When baking in a Chalon Original Kitchen; it's a lot of fun but remember to save some cakes for the guests.
This one of a series of books made from the paper I place on my worktable. They form a diary of marks related to the period of time they are in place. Some have dates, this one does not. The paper here is a commercially bought handmade paper, the front nad back covers have been coated in beeswax to give them some strength.
This paricular book contains rust marks.
It has a tape binding, so all pages will open flat, the tape used is naturally dyed silk which has then been made into silk string which wraps around the book and is tied to secure it.
The book can either be left as an artist's book or you can enter into a collaboration with me
by working into the pages
If you do that please share the results with me
For more pictures go to my blog soewnearth.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/incidental-marks.html
Book is 15 x 8cm (6 x 31/2")and has 60 pages.

On my work table (the dining-room table), some tools and some sketchbooks:
I acknowledge,organizing myself with Sketchbooks is really a challenge I never won. I have different quality and sizes of them, for pencil drawing and for watercolour, some in France and some in Limburg, some for the daily sketches and some for travels… They are often gifts and I like each of them all for it specificities.
