Dahlia, 18 Heidi, 19

Dahlia, 18: “My entire look is thrifted/upcycled. I have been heavily inspired by 1920s women’s fashion lately and by Natalie Portman’s character Mathilda in Léon: The Professional.

Heidi, 19: “I'm wearing Mexican cowboy boots, Dior luster denim, If Six Was Nine tank top, and 14th Addiction leather jacket. I am def inspired by 90s and early 2000s Berlin youth fashion, as seen in the film Christiane F, and Hedi Slimane’s photography ‘Berlin’.”

Retirement

My husband worked as a forester for 30 years, and retired this month. He worked as a cabinet-maker before college, and wants to spend at least part of his retirement getting back to his 'woodworking roots.'

Years ago he made a butcher-block style countertop when we updated our kitchen (from the 1950s to the 2010s) He very carefully cut out the part where the double sink would go and tucked that rectangular piece away for 'someday'. Someday came last weekend, when he took the metal base from an old Singer sewing machine, cleaned up the edges of the section of butcher-block, and put it all together.

Since there are ALL KINDS of unique bits and pieces of wood and other materials at Home Farm, he will be able to make quite a few one-of-a-kind pieces with almost no cost for materials. He just needs to figure out how to price them and sell them.

iridescent headphone mod!

i own an inappropriately popular pair of headphones. today i saw two people on the metro wearing them, standing right next to each other with the classic metro 1000 yard stare, like unwitting clones, and i was instantly compelled to do something to mine.

unnecessarily detailed step-by-step below:

tools & materials: stupid clone-ass headphones, cutting mat, baking paper, scalpel, scissors, cd marker, some boring paper tape and some exciting iridescent mirror tape.

so the idea was to make a "sticker" out of the tape, laying it out in strips and cutting out a shape to then transfer to the headphone ear cup.

to make it easier to cut out the shape i wanted, i used waxy baking paper - the tape would kinda stick to it, but wouldn't fight back if i tried to remove it.

this tape is extremely thin. any speck of dirt or bubble or overlap between the strips of tape was very apparent, so i laid the strips out so that the edges touch, but don't overlap.

then i needed to mark how big i could make the sticker. the tape is not flexible at all, so i couldn't put it on any of the curves and soft edges of the headphones (otherwise they would have long been taped over entirely.) but the top of the ear cup was perfectly flat and circular, so i found the nearest item with the same-ish diameter and transferred the size that way. (i don't own a compass.)

after a bit of pinterest surfing that definitely didn't turn into a prolonged break involving tea and a mindlessly assembled sandwich, i sketched the moon's face from reference and cut out the shape with a scalpel. thankfully the vintage illustrations are not polished and perfect, so i can go a bit sketchy and loose (also the cd marker will wear off eventually, so i'm not too attached to the drawing)

since the "sticker" is actually just three separate strips of tape, i added paper tape "stitches" on top to hold them together once the baking paper comes off. it took a bit of finagling, but the baking paper came off smoothly and none of the tape bits were fighting me.

i cleaned the headphone surface before i started cutting the moon, but a tiny eraser shaving got on it anyway - i noticed it too late and had to scratch it off the sticky side of the tape with the scalpel. the same thing happened when i put the sun's face on, but there i saved it by drawing a beauty mark on that spot. so it'll never look perfect perfect. the marker will wear off anyway and the tape will probably come loose (those sharp edges are just asking for a dogearing) but whatever! i'll make something new and better then!

for now i'm very much enjoying my homemade celestial headphones :3
