April 2009. Some people might think that what I'm about to say is crazy. But not you. You'll completely understand me. I have favorite scissors. And I get rather possessive about them. As in, these are my special favorite scissors...so don't you be touching them! Let's start with these little ones that were mine as a child. Here's where I read your thoughts. Now, new favorite scissors. I got these at Target for around $1 on clearance. There you have it. Quince and Quire: Tiny book tutorial, part one. Today I have the first of what I think will be a three-part tutorial to make small books. These books can function on their own, or you can make them into ornaments by simply leaving a tail of thread from which to hang them. The entire tutorial relies on bookbinding terminology, of course; I'll teach you what I can through photos and explanations, and at the end I'll give you resources for further exploration. These little books are not hard to make, but there are many steps.
This first part of the tutorial looks at how to cover boards with decorative paper. These are the supplies you will need for the entire project: Book board or museum boardDecorative papers (heavy-weight origami or stationery weight printed papers, etc.)Plain paper for the interior, of good qualityLinen bookbinding threadEmbroidery needleAwlBone folderWhite glueGlue brushUtility knife ScissorsRulerCutting matParchment paper So here is my book board, which is a dense, stable board that bookbinders use.
See the World Differently through Eyebombing. Posted by Ray | 27 Feb 2012 | Comments (7) Nope, it's not a new version of the EyeWriter: "Eyebombing" is a far more low-tech—and perhaps expressly meme-friendly—form of urban intervention. Kim Nielsen and Peter Dam coined the term late last year: "Eyebombing is the act of setting googly eyes on inanimate things in the public space. Ultimately the goal is to humanize the streets, and bring sunshine to people passing by. " Their intentions are contrary to those of traditional tags, which Nielsen and Dam see as "egocentric behavior... using vandalism to [get respect]"; eyebombing is "only about the message itself.
" It's not a fight for the public space, it's to be seen as a lovely addition to that space. We're certainly past the point of crass Krylon tags—see Marko Manriquez's "fight for the public space" (and no disrespect to Katsu, of course)—but Eyebombing is unique in that it is a simple yet uncanny diversion from the mundane fixtures of the post-industrial world.
