50 Things Everyone Should Know
by Mark and Angel Self-reliance is a vital key to living a healthy, productive life. To be self-reliant one must master a basic set of skills, more or less making them a jack of all trades. Contrary to what you may have learned in school, a jack of all trades is far more equipped to deal with life than a specialized master of only one. While not totally comprehensive , here is a list of 50 things everyone should know how to do. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23.

ICD/ITKE Research Pavilion 2012
Robotic Production Video: Photographs by Roland Halbe: Project Documentation ICD/ITKE: >> Video: Production Start>> Video: Dry Run>> Video: Prototyping In November 2012 the Institute for Computational Design (ICD) and the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) at the University of Stuttgart have completed a research pavilion that is entirely robotically fabricated from carbon and glass fibre composites. At the core of the project is the development of an innovative robotic fabrication process within the context of the building industry based on filament winding of carbon and glass fibres and the related computational design tools and simulation methods. Following a “bottom-up” approach, a wide range of different subtypes of invertebrates were initially investigated in regards to the material anisotropy and functional morphology of arthropods. Through this high level of integration the fundamental properties of biological structures were transferred: Funding
Do-it-Yourself DIY String Wedding Lanterns Yarn Chandeliers
Jessica of Wednesday Inc shows us how to make those gorgeous twine chandeliers from the inspiration shoot she shared with us this morning. Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade. What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern. Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord. Are you getting excited to try to do this at home as much I am? Instructions: 1.

Cu siguranta ai pe-acasa cateva reviste uitate intr-un colt care in mod normal ar lua lejer drumul cosului de gunoi. Inainte sa le arunci, iti propun un "handmade project" foarte interesant si fun de facut :) o geanta din bucati de hartie care te va scoate din anonimat! 100% :) Ai nevoie de cateva reviste (2-3, depinde de cate foi folosesti din una singura), banda scotch (eu am folosit 2 role si jumatate), foarfeca, liniar, pix si muuuulta rabdare! Pentru inceput delimitezi dreptunghiuri de orice dimensiune crezi tu ca se potriveste. Inainte sa decupezi dreptunghiurile, acopera-le pe o singura parte cu banda scotch. Bucatile de hartie trebuie impaturate pentru a putea fi folosite. ...trebuie conectate intre ele: In modul asta faci cateva randuri care vor deveni peretii gentii. Din fiecare rand trebuie sa faci un cerc. Aceste cercuri o sa formeze peretii gentii, deci inaltimea gentii o sa depinda de numarul de cercuri. Randurile se cos intre ele in zig-zag. O sa rezulte un plic:

The Medusae Collection
These translucent creatures floating overhead will provide a certain ethereal ambiance to any dinner party. The Medusae Collection is a series of creative lamps by Roxy Russell Design, who suggests that, with these, you can “add a little underwater illumination to your space.” The lamps provide a soft glow overhead while the beautiful design is a constant reminder of the mystical world that lives below the surface of the sea. Roxy Russell is fascinated with the ocean and she says it is “a boundless source of inspiration” for many of her designs. This project is a way for the artist to pay tribute to the vast, watery expanse that covers a majority of the earth’s surface, while also bringing an awareness to the growing problem of pollution that occurs in our oceans. The lamps are actually formed out of plastics themselves, but Russell explains that the importance is not the material itself, but the way in which we use it and then choose to reuse and recycle it.
DIY | Doily Lantern | Glamour and Grace
The lovely Sarah is back again this month with another fabulous DIY! This one is so simple and chic, I know you all are going to love it! Happy spring, readers! I have been so excited to share this month’s DIY project with you! Materials: 4-5 doilies per lamp (preferably round and about 5-6 inches in diameter, depending on the size you want the orb to be. ***Before you start, make sure to wash your doilies by hand with a mild soap and lukewarm water in the sink. Step 1: Take your rubber ball or balloon and place it in a small dish to keep it steady while you work. Step 2: Once you have the doilies arranged how you want them, pour some fabric stiffener onto the palate or wax paper. Step 3: Leave a small area open so that you can insert the LED tea light. Step 4: Let the doilies dry overnight to ensure that it is COMPLETELY dry before handling. Step 5: Once the doilies are dry, use a blade to pop the balloon/rubber ball. Simple steps to a stunning centerpiece! Have fun and stay crafty!
