string art attempt

post from craftlog on 21 March 2010 05:03:00 PM. © craftlog

The local Top Pot doughnut shop has a giant spirograph design painted on one wall. This has now made me want a giant spirograph painted on my wall. After trying to imagine how to create a big rig to do such a thing, I thought about string art as an alternative (thank you 6th grade math class, in which I was obsessed with them). The wall I have in mind is a little high up, so I don’t think doing this directly on the wall is going to be practical. So, I need some big, cheap, circular thing that I can put tiny nails in. Hmmmm, how about quilting hoops?

Here’s my first attempt. I used 21 evenly spaced tiny map pins for the winding pegs, crochet thread for the string, and just kind of randomly decided on the spacing (one round skip 9 pegs, one of skip 3, one of skip 5, and I think one of skip 7). The verdict is that the ring needs to be painted or stained or something, and the pattern should be a little denser. But I think the idea is a winner. I got three hoops of different sizes, and I think they’ll look really cool all together on the wall.

Seven DIY Video Photography Projects For
HD-DSLRers and Videographers

post from DIYPhotography.net -DIY Photography and Studio Lighting on 21 March 2010 04:04:26 PM. © DIYPhotography.net -DIY Photography and Studio Lighting

It looks like where eve we look HD-DSLRs are gaining momentum and more and more photographers are using videography as a way to express themselves, to offer services to their customers and to create art.

No wonder with HD-DSLRs like Nikon's D300s and Canon's EOS 5D Mark II you can use all your exquisite optics and get results that will not shame a pro video cam.

With all that it is no wonder that video DSLR started getting some hacks and mods. [image by blhphotography]

Magnetic Electricity - The Simple Way to Generate
Energy For Your Home

post from Metacafe - Do It Yourself Videos by Metacafe on 21 March 2010 10:18:32 AM. © Metacafe - Do It Yourself Videos by Metacafe

http://Magnet4Power.net -Magnetic Electricity - The Simple Way to Generate Energy For Your Home - If your monthly utility bills are rising by the day and you feel helpless about them, then it is time that you stopped worrying. There is a simple solution available to you in the form of magnetic electricity using which you can now generate free electricity for your home for a lifetime.Almost everyone knows that the opposite poles of two magnets make them attracted to each other while the same polarities repel. What is unknown to many though, is the fact that this simple principle can be used to generate magnetic electricity. By placing magnets in a planned manner, the repulsive force between them can be harnessed to produce electricity.One of the reasons for the rising popularity of magnetic electricity is because of the fact that the simple device to produce this energy can be built quite easily. In fact, you can build one on you own using simple household tools and supplies from a neighboring hardware store.Once you have the tools and the supplies ready, then you can go about searching for the right do it yourself or DIY plan. There are scores of them available nowadays over the Internet. You can also find many video based plans available in the market too. You can also check for such guides at a local bookstore too.One of the biggest advantages of producing magnetic electricity is that you can do so without having to worry about any other external force to propel the device, which is often the case with other forms of alternative sources of energy. For example, while in the case of windmills you need wind to propel it, it is the sun's rays that help solar panels to produce solar energy. In both these instances the devices are dependent on the vagaries of weather. Fortunately, this is not the case with perpetual magnetic generators. Moreover, as their name suggest they will generate magnetic electricity for you perpetually.The simple steps involved in building a magnetic generator include:? First of all ensure that all the components and tools that you will need for the project are ready with you.? Make sure that you have the right plan available with you. The plan should be such that it comes to easy to understand, step by step instructions.? Once both these aspects are taken care off, then it is hardly a matter of few hours before your perpetual magnetic generator is up and running.Now Pay Close Attention Here-Are you seriously looking for a proven way to save money on your electricity bills? You will be surprised to know that how easy it is to save money on electricity bills at Home by opting a renewable source of energy like Magnetic Energy, that will not only save your money but you will help in cleaning the environment.
