How to make Paper Mache Paste With Halloween right around the corner, I have paper mache projects coming out of my ears! There is something about this playful holiday that just brings out the folk-art in me. In the next so many weeks I will be sharing various tutorials but thought that I would share two different recipes that it takes to get started. Paste Recipe 2 Cups Cold Water 3/4 Cup flour 2 Tbsp. Step 1: Boil 1 cup of water in sauce pan. When water comes to a boil, pour in the flour mixture. Paste should be thick but still drip slowly from whisk (it will thicken more as it cools). This paste can be used in many ways, but generally, it is used to make basic mache forms that can be either left alone or used as a base for other projects.

This probably comes under the TMI clause, but I’ve had to rotate deodorants since I’ve begun using them. I usually have at least 3 in the rotation, due to what I like to call “fire pits”. For me this is a extreme rash, bumps and sometimes hive like condition, while using deodorants. I’ve used about everything on the market, even stopped shaving my pits, (which I couldn’t stand and really didn’t help). I had a really bad flare up recently, and twice now I’ve come up with big lumps. My first success is the Crystal Rock, The link above will bring you to the website and the “Crystal Story” .

Ruffled® Wedding Blog | DIY projects | Recycle Your Wedding Skill Builder: Tabletop Gaming — Modeling Tips and Tricks My Eldar Howling Banshees behind a barricade I made from Stimudents and popsicle sticks In the early aughts, I ran a popular and well-regarded tabletop wargame modeling and converting site called 40K Konversions. It was dedicated to all forms of modeling related to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. For those who don’t know, “conversions” are wargame miniatures that have been altered in some way, from swapping legs or heads to creating whole new figures by parts swapping, sculpting on new features, and so on.

The Reason I Jump – Naoki Higashida, Sceptre, 2013, London. | Diamond Sharp The Reason I Jump The Reason I Jump was written by its author, Naoki Higashida, when he was just 13. He is autistic and non-verbal, and wrote the work with a character-board and an assistant who transcribed the characters one by one. The result of this painstaking effort is both direct and haunting – a true-to-life account of what it is like inside an autistic self. The Reason I Jump was translated by David Mitchell (author of Cloud Atlas) and his wife K.A. “…imagine a daily life in which your faculty of speech is taken away. … the editor-in-residence who orders your thoughts walks out without notice. … To make matters worse, another hitherto unrecognized editor has just quit without notice – your editor of the senses.” The result is cognitive and sensory chaos, “your mind is a room where twenty radios, all tuned to different stations, are blaring out voice and music.” And the reason he jumps?

P.S.- I made this... Make A Cheap & Easy Solar USB Charger With An Altoids Tin Photos by Joshua Zimmerman The craftster behind the very popular $3 solar-powered emergency radio is back with a new awesome project: a cheap solar battery charger with a USB plug. Zimmerman wrote, saying that he saw a lot of small solar powered chargers being talked about over Earth Day, but there was a big problem: "They're all quite nice, but also quite expensive. I don't think I've seen any for less than $60, and I've not seen one that really suits my style." So, he came up with his own, using one of our favorite reusable items -- the ever wonderful Altoids tin. In looking for the cheapest way to accomplish the task, Zimmerman found that he could build a USB solar charger for under $30 (or $10 if be buys parts in bulk, though it's not likely you'll be buying bulk solar cells and DC-to-USB converter circuits). Zimmerman states, "The central brain of our project is a DC to USB converter circuit.
