whipping rope
(This is my rope. It's is a lot bigger than the one in this demo video.)I'm got a large rope today and the ends were fraying quickly, so I turned to these sailor's tricks and ended up with really secure ends. Let's see how they hold up to the pulling.
maybe I'll try this sometime.
I noticed immediately that it feels really good to do some physical work, even just moving my fingers. The texture of the rope and the small twine felt rough and nice and holding up the tension while whipping the ends really helped my concentration.
basically, I want to be able to film like this, down the rope, so I'm looking at different possible camera mounts I can make.

I'm getting a new passport soon and before releasing this one I decided to have some fun with the huge scanner in the library.
RIP mcQueen
ok so it seems like my blog is all about expressing grief over lost creative people lately.
But that is how things go....
Sad beyond belief, the incredible fashion designer Alexander McQueen committed suicide yesterday, at age 40.
His collection including fairy tales and wild animals greatly influenced my work a few years ago while I was studying textile and fashion design at Kootenay School of Arts. Through looking at a lot of McQueen and Belgian, Olivier Theyskens' works and nearing the dump of the year 2000, I created a body of clothing works that "could survive the apocalypse".
my favorite McQueen, Little Purple Riding Hood from the fairytale series :

finally, these photos are from McQueen final collection, released after his death
article describing the last show
time : Austerlitz
TIME WAS BY FAR THE MOST ARTIFICIAL OF ALL OUR INVENTIONS, AND IN BEING BOUND TO THE PLANET TURNING ON ITS OWN AXIS WAS NO LESS ARBITRARY THAN WOULD BE, SAY, A CALCULATION BASED ON THE GROWTH OF TREES OR THE DURATION REQUIRED FOR A PIECE OF LIMESTONE TO DISINTEGRATE...

Tsika's Dolls - RIP
you might have seen a previous posting, with amazing photos of colourful dolls.
Unfortunately, Tsika, the creator of the dolls passed away recently.
Of all the people I have met in my life, Tsika was the only one that I truly believed was magical. For this reason especially, I feel a great loss at her death.
