stitch markers
I made stitch markers as a present for a knitter.
Then I decided that they need a knit-something for packaging. It took me about two hours to knit that tiny bit of ribbing – knitting and I don’t get along very well. Surprisingly I didn’t hate it as much as I used to (when I last tried it way back in primary school).
Now my brother also requested stitch markers for his birthday :D
i do have a lot of pin-back monsters now
Aren’t they great? The cephalopods and zombies are screen printed on different fabrics. The printing for each design needed two passes – one for the outlines, and one for the colouring.
Special thanks go to Alex, who basically provided all the features an additional human body has to offer when working on a project like this one … Especially having two extra hands to use turned out to be rather useful ;)
And he got us the fancy badge maker we used.
As I’m all about figuring out how things really work, what made me happy was that I finally managed to prepare a screen for screen printing that can actually be used (I just flooded the dark room one and a half times in the process -.-).
Also, This is the first time I printed on fabric with more than one colour, which is exiting as well.
MONSTERS! ZOMBIES! :D
a can of pictures #2
Another picture I made with the pinhole camera we built. I really like how this one turned out
a can of pictures #1
The middle of nowhere and strange old film
These are pictures I took with my new pinhole camera. I really really like the wide angle and how the camera distorts the image.
I noticed that people found the setup (in the picture below) to be pretty strange.
Handling a tripod with a can stuck to it seems to produce even more confusion and strange reactions around me than most things I do.

dyeing everything
@grillt is orange now.
Everyone got their hair dyed: teal, green, and orange. Purple too, but that was a few days earlier.
Also, there were vegan burgers and cake.
GREEN!
A very charming half-rinsed teal beard
Lame picture, but the colours are awesome.
ampersand
The new ampersand is finished! Lasercut and painted with a very subtle gradient from dark blue to a rather dark, but still somehow mint-ish green.
It’s a lot sturdier than the old one that I cut from cardboard years ago. I like the new version better and as the wooden ampersand is less floppy, it probably will stay on the wall for once (I hope).
I love painting things.
