Budget Minded Modernist
Given that it is January 20, 2009, I will simply post my favorite Obama Posters from the campaign. I’ve got history to go watch, so enjoy. Another blog, the Obama Art Report http://www.obamaartreport.com/ , Artists for Obama and Lekker’s Cafe Press site provided the images used here.
Renovating a stairwell? Looking to replace an old, dated railing, but custom metal fabricating isn’t an option? How about copper plumbing pipe? This whole rail and support materials are found at big box home stores like Lowes or Home Depot. We used 1″ diameter pipe and In these photos, the copper was “aged” with 2 shades of a faux patina found in art stores. Seal with buffed beeswax and then you’re done. Make sure you mount at least 2 of your supports to a stud for stability. All parts cost about $60.
So I had fun with this over the holidays. If you’re Gen X, you’re probably the last group who can remember the joy of a Polaroid. Now you can download the software developed by Paul Ladroid for free (donations are encouraged but not required) and drag and drop your photos to create Polaroid-like photos. It’s hilarious and it even makes the noise the camera does as it spits your picture out, and then you wait for it to develop on your desktop. Both PC and Mac versions are now available for download.
