1/5 A new art book is ready. I don't know why I craft them nor how to explain what I do. It's an intuitive way of working with colours, textures, mixed media and collage, for seeing, touching, and more. A very #meditative work.
This one was the attempt to find something beautiful in our maize #monocultures that I detest.
Just browse my book here.

I'll tell you what is a really neat map trick (albeit, expensive). If you can find someone with a color plotter, you can take and print a topo map to Tyvek, and convert that Tyvek to an extremely lightweight ground sheet. You then have a combo LARGE SCALE map of where you are going plus a ground sheet, all wrapped up in one. Tyvek is printable, and if you physically roll it a lot (some people throw it through a washer or tumble through a dryer on air setting with shoes or something) it becomes soft like cloth. I heard (fourthhand) this may be used in the US military, in Special Ops or other applications.
Zum ersten Mal versucht, einen Stapel gleicher Bilder zu drucken.
Ich denke, ich habe es mir schwerer gemacht als nötig. Aber es hat großen Spaß gemacht.
Wenn ihr Tipps habt für solche Motive, gerne her damit!

Vor einigen Tagen hatte ich viel Spaß beim Legodruck, zusammen mit dem Fünfjährigen und einer lieben Freundin.
Da lassen sich so viele coole Dinge machen.

Daughter's coming back from Japan with 100s of photos & is looking for portable photo printer. I've been out of the printing biz for ~20+ years so I'm reaching out here for recs.
From her:
"I'm mainly looking for scrapbooking reasons, so small prints I can print multiple images onto one print(like 2-3 images on a 6"x4")".
Looking for something that could handle sticky-back & possibly archival stock.
Difficulty: No HP #printers if possible
I work with computers all day. After I started processing my 8x10 negs at home, I realized that doing post on my 8x10 was a lot like work. So I decided to try contact printing this week. My chemicals and paper arrived yesterday, but not my contact printer or safelight. So I borrowed same from @bosak and last night, after it got dark (no blackout curtains) I started printing.
This was the neg I started with:

I sent a message to a local printing house asking their general pricing for printing a comic book (approx. 70 pages, hard back/paper back, full color, heavy paper weight, glossy) and might just turn out that printing locally may be too expensive after all...
Unless I hit a jackpot and can do printing and delivery, since not sure any Finnish company does print-on-demand where people can order their own copies.

Yeah! I blogged again! Well okay - I just wrote a bit more about #printing and #framing than I wrote here already.
Enjoy!

Hey! I ordered two new frames for my #photos!
Not black but brown and one A4 and one A5 for the Windowsill directly next to my work place.
I think I'll re-print the a5 version a bit smaller . But the frames are really ace! The printed photos are great. But frames really add another level!
The black frames look very stylish but also quite cool. The brown ones fit excellent to the nature photos.
Good morning friends!
Yesterday two frames arrived and I put the latest #prints into. I was really really pleased by the result!
Just unfortunately, the peacock is a false print: The right frame is larger than the left. So I replaced it with an older print from my #pristineWinter collection.
It's really so much different from just looking at #photos on the phone. Totally worth the buy. And a great start into my Saturday
Enjoy!
Мне тут вендор пластика, который я уже давненько покупаю мотками, а не катушками, решил прислать ещё и катушку - видимо, в подарок.
Напечатанную катушку.
И эта катушка так хуёво напечатана, что я боюсь представить чем и на чём её печатали.
Я такого огромного количества соплей, таких торчащих кусков, таких дыр между дорожками и слоями никогда не видел.
