How to bind your own Hardback Book The art of book binding is an ancient craft, but actually it is not very difficult to do and with almost no practice you can get really awesome results. If you are on the lookout for fun craft projects or quick ways of making nice presents and gifts, then this could be the project for you. I know that there are other Instructables on the art of book binding but this project is meant to be a simple quick project that will give a very acceptable finish, and a book that looks like it has been professionally made, yet without the need for any special equipment. All you will need is: Some paper Minimum really is about 32 A4 or US Letter sized sheets, to make a half A4 (half US Letter sized book), although smaller books can be made as can ones with more pages. Some stiff cardboard or corrugated (fluted) cardboard Some fabric or leather Any old stuff will do for the cover.

Our Dining Room Table – Guest Blogger! » Apartment Living Blog » ForRent.com : Apartment Living Brought to you from our friend Tommy Sibiga: This dining room table has been a labor of love…so to speak. It’s been fun to try out new tools and new techniques, and I’ve learned a ton for the next time around. I recently came across the blog Ana-White.com. The big problem with wanting to use 4×4’s for the legs is that nobody really sells 4×4’s unless they are pressure treated. The first thing that I did was cut the 2×12’s, 2×8’s (for the breadboards), and 4×4’s to length. Once I dry-fit it together, I went back and tweaked it some more to make it more subtle. To complete the base, I needed to cut, distress, stain, and use the Kreg jig to drill holes, for the side aprons and end aprons. I then attached the bread boards using all my clamps. After a test strip with Briwax, Special Walnut, and American Classic, I decided to go with the original Dark Walnut stain. I did the same finish on the 15” extensions. Here’s how the extensions work: Here are some of my favorite spots.

Light pollution photos By Craig Mackenzie Published: 12:15 GMT, 8 July 2012 | Updated: 06:51 GMT, 9 July 2012 At night, London is a burning bright spot, consuming enough energy to power Ireland with its light show. But as these stunning images from space show, we in the West are guilty of wasting energy and polluting light on a staggering scale. Now compare the Third World countries in Africa, South America and large swathes of Asia which lie in almost complete darkness. Enlarge Waste of energy: A satellite image of Britain and Europe at night showing the light show from space, with far greater uses of energy in the major cities Light show: An image of the U.S. from space highlighting the staggering light pollution, especially on the east coast, in Houston, Texas, and San Francisco and Los Angeles on the west coast In darkness: Third World countries in Africa barely register any light at night in contrast to the West, apart from an amazing trail of light from Cairo running down the Nile in Egypt

Watercolour Texture Techniques by *hatefueled on deviantART PaperMatrix How To Draw "How to Draw" is a collection of tutorials that will teach you everything from perspective basics to shading chrome. Never picked up a pencil before? Fear not! From simple line drawings to modern art and easy animations, we've got you covered. Instructables is the most popular project-sharing community on the Internet. Dilly-Dali Art: Abstract Art all 3 of us decided to work on one together! The girls started off by dripping and brushing rubber cement all over a canvas When the rubber cement was dry I placed a few coffee filters on the canvas we dripped food coloring onto the filters then sprayed them with water until the edges began to fall (It doesn't take much water for that to happen) When the coffee filters are dry their edges will be pulled off the canvas and they should be easily removed. If not, then they're probably still a little damp. Start the process all over again layering more coffee filters over the canvas Repeat until you have an amazing design that you love! We did it 3 times This was such a fun process, with beautiful results! I was thinking that maybe we didn't really need the rubber cement resist but when we rubbed it all off we found lovely brush strokes where a bit of the coloring bled through The layering of the coffee filters really added nice depth to the picture as well as creating neat little lines of mixed colors
