White Elephant 2011

It’s that time of year when making gifts and giving them away is appropriate and lots of fun. I have a white elephant party to attend this year for Christmas and sticking with my paper theme I decoupaged a pair of heals.  If you want to try this project out it’s very simple.  You’ll need the following:

  • A pair of heals with pointy toes.  The more classic style the better.  My favorite shoe store is True Love, http://www.trueloveshoes.com/index.html.
  • A big tube of Mod Podge
  • I used “Vintage Newspaper” from The Paper Studio, http://www.paperstudio.com/ that I picked up from my local craft store Hobby Lobby.
  • Black Acrylic paint
  • Gesso Fluid

First cut out smaller pieces of the paper.  Glue both sides of the paper to the shoe.  Be sure to liberal with the glue and apply quickly so the paper doesn’t rip.  Let that dry overnight.  In a cup add a small amount of black paint to gesso and apply over the entire show.  This will help blend the colors together.  That’s it!

It’s called Egg-bot!

It’s not Maker-bot…  it’s Egg-bot!  My guy bought an Egg-bot a while back and we finally got a lazy Saturday to play with it.  He set it up and then we decorated a bunch of eggs.  It’s a neat little machine.  It really only has one function and that’s decorating eggs with sharpie markers but it’s pretty fun figuring out how your design will translate into a rounded object.

Ghost Counties

Jan Willem Tulp is a freelance Data Visualization Designer that created a beautiful visualization using Processing.

Originally posted from: http://datavisualization.ch/showcases/ghost-counties/

“The counties are represented by two concentric circles and the size of the outer bubble represents the total number of homes, the size of the inner bubble represents the number of vacant homes. The y-axis shows the population size on a logarithmic scale and the x-axis of the bubbles shows the number of vacant homes per population. Furthermore, each bubble is connected with a line to another axis that shows the population/home ratio. The exact numbers for the selected county are shown on the top right.”

Processing Thursday

There are far too many Processing designs that I’m I love enough for me to put in one post, so I’m going to post a new one each Thursday.  If you would like to submit one as your favorite, please leave me a comment.

Created by Diana Lange is this little sound experiment using Processing. Each circle stands for a certain position in the audio’s FFT data. Libraries used include PeasyCam / Camera, OpenGL / Rendering, Sonia / FFT, Beads / Beat detection and Minim / Waveform.

October Jewels

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love jewel-toned autumnal colors, cool breezes, and warm foods.  Here’s a sneak peak of my Halloween costume because it so perfectly reflects the season colors.

In searching for Halloween accessories at my local Arc Thrift store I came across this beautiful 6 piece set of china for only $42.  What a steal!  I cant wait to find other pieces to start mixing and matching.

Quiet Ensemble

I can’t get enough of interactive art and design. Check out Italian artist Quiet Ensemble’s website http://www.quietensemble.com/Projects.html.

“Quintetto” is an installation based on the study of casual movement of objects or living creatures used as input for the production of sounds. The basic concept is to reveal what we call “invisible concerts” of everyday life.
 The vertical movements of the 5 fishes in the aquariums is captured by a videocamera, that translates (through a computer software) their movements in digital sound signals.
We’ll have 5 different musical instruments creating a totally unexpected live concert.”
