Homemade Tattoos
First he showed us how to stuff a mouse. Now Andreas is back with a needle, ink, and some beer. Photos: Trippe & Trolf Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? It's easy-anyone can do it (even teenagers, who, according to recent scientific tests, don't even have fully functional brains). Here's what you'll need: 1) Sewing needles, not too big and not too little. To start with, assemble all your supplies on your work surface. Wait, on second thought, let's include one more thing in the photo: Being neat isn't required, but my OCD makes me have to arrange everything at right angles to everything else. Ask yourself before starting: Do I know this person I'm going to tattoo? There will be a little blood, so it's best to be cautious. Then take the needles you plan on using (remember: a new needle for every person getting a tattoo) and put them in a pan filled with a bit of boiling water and boil the hell right out of them. This is where neatness counts. Here are our ideas: Not bad, eh?

tobycraig: Book Assembly Photo-Journal
Hi, this is really, really long and has lots of pictures, so I've just gone and cut the whole thing. It's a goofy little photo-journal of the book assembly of my stuff for the upcoming MoCCA show. I hope you like it. 6/5/2011 UPDATE: Sorry, comments are LOCKED, I appreciate your enthusiasm and use of the information herein, but I'm really, really tired of Ukrainian spam. In a previous journal entry I posted a bunch of stuff about scanning my pages. When I had final high-resolution artwork I set about shrinking them and moving panels around for my final book. So I've got a square page, reduced down to 300 dpi, and then converted to CMYK mode for printing. I broke my book into two parts. Now I've got my printed and folded signatures and it's time to start binding. First I'm going to need some holes, so I need to measure and mark where I'm going to punch those holes. Now I need to get some thread ready. Now I've got my punched paper and threaded needle. Then back out through the next...

Monday, January 19, 2009 Project #19 - Robot Cup and Saucer Clark and I received a whole box of china for free from a liquidating antique store. I think the owners just wanted one less thing to carry away, but I can always find a use for pottery, especially if I'm allowed to smash it or draw on it. All of the drawings were done with a black Porceline pen. After the ink has set for a few minutes, I follow the instructions on the pen and place the pieces in the oven at 300 degrees for 35 minutes. I've made something similar before and sold them in my etsy shop. Here are a few more detail photos: Labels: craft, projects
Longstitch Bookbinding Tutorial for a Leather Journal | tortagialla - Blog of Artist Linda Tieu - Design and Illustration
The most common type of sewn bookbinding that I often default to, falls into the category of longstitch binding. It’s really a general categorization for many different methods of sewn binding. People have invented their own patterns and techniques and have probably called it something else as well. Suffice to say, it’s a general way to denote sewing your paper to the cover of your book. The materials for this project include leather, paper, thread, needle, an awl and cutting device of some sort. Regarding the thread, I’m using a natural linen thread in this example, but you can also use waxed thread sold specifically for bookbinding to prevent knotting up when sewing. Regarding my little awl, I use it to punch holes in the paper. Let me first explain how I made my leather cover, although you can do this with any other type of material. If I use a very heavy weight type of leather, I usually just cut it to size and consider it ready. This is what you see on the outside binding…

Chapters 1: The Story of Storytelling 2: Why We Need Storytelling 3: Storytelling in Action 4: Listening, The Transformational Moment 5: Into the Future Re-Weaving the Community, Creating the Future Storytelling at the Heart and Soul of Healthy Communities by Barbara Ganley “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” — Rudyard Kipling The Orton Family Foundation’s Heart & Soul Community Planning approach calls for nothing less than sweeping change: a bottom-up, across-the-board retooling of planning in cities and towns across America. What do we mean by sweeping change? Yet the Foundation also understands that change, except in wartime or other crisis, is rarely sweeping, but, rather, creeping: an incremental, hardly perceivable accrual of decisions and actions leading—pretty much—in one direction. One way, we believe, is through story. And yet story is not widely embraced as a keystone to successful civic engagement, much less planning.
