Crafts time in the office

//




Made some post-it cut outs and stuck them in my plain vanilla office lamp-- love the effect! It evens shows through in a wonderful muted yellow green color.

Even better, the whole thing only took 6 minutes, ie only .1 billables were harmed in this experiment :)

The little cracks they escalated

The night, the confines of the car, and the sound that fills your small isolated enclosure of the world. In the darkness it seeps in, consoling.

Terraced Rice Fields in Bali

I stitched together my rice field pictures from Bali, one of my favorite sights on the trip. I really love rice fields-- they are so perfectly lush, tender, and calming.

I used Microsoft ICE (Image Composite Editor) for the first time, and it was so easy! Free to download from here.

I'm finally making some headway into my pictures by tackling the smaller albums first.



Wow, it's December.

Random picture shot outside Tian Zhi Fang that I just find particularly endearing.

Contemporary Sculpture in Beijing

Started going through my pictures from the trip. Here are some I wanted to share from our time in Beijing, the 798 Arts District to be exact. I want to blog more about this place and the fact that there's a great contemporary art scene in Beijing, China at all, but first here are some cool sculptures. I like how it at once pulls from traditional themes and comic book styling (Jim Lee-esque?) .

Save the Great White... Coat

So it goes:

I have a white wool coat that I really like.

I noticed that it still looked a little dirty after taking it to get dry cleaned.

I googled "how to clean white wool coat."

Following a path of pages, I found my answer: preemption. With Scotchguard! Pow!

Sharing is caring.
