I know everyone’s got yet another thing to dislike about Adobe land… if you’re really tired of the shenanigans maybe you should give some #opensource stuff a try? Everything you’re trying to do and more exists in some fashion, or can be cobbled together…

Robin Sadly I think these have been abandoned… I disturbed the mom a few too many time with espalier maintenance and cherry picking. There are also a lot of neighborhood cats… so perhaps the mom robin wasn’t excited about them either.

Dad!!! The glasses aren’t flat and the crown doesn’t stay on well enough! Why can’t we glue real jewels to it!!! Solveig is learning about art direction and client/designer relationships early.

There’s a lot of blooms on these. Remember if you’re foraging you only take a little. Maybe some will make it all the way to berries? This is just along the playground at Hampden elementary.

Just making Norwegian spruce tip syrup… I found a couple big Norway spruces by the disc golf course in Druid hill this morning. They’re good to harvest the next week or two while they’re still tender and bright, light green

Just doing some spontaneous plastic playing with @product_prof — Karl got a new air compressor so of course the first thing we thought we’d try to do was pressurize 20oz bottles and amorphously reshape them with a heat gun.

Working on a bamboo chair, experimenting with heat shrinking PET bottles as the joinery, turns out it doesn’t work as well as I thought… so maybe to keep the nutrient loops separated I’ll do it all as biological nutrients and make a fully compostable chai

I’ve used a lot of different gear tapes and off the shelf solutions like just packing tape or duct/duck tape or gorilla tape over the years… so far the @gearaid brand repair tape has been the best in my uses. I just need to get a few more colors now so th

More #frizquadrata on a goofy cookbook. Also, Ollie’s is a weird store.
by bjornmeansbear

I mean, they got the Friz Quadrata reference right, and I guess the umlauts are for Jäegermeister … maybe this kind of thing doesn’t actually have to exist though? At least they got the clever graphic design touches right. #frizquadrata

Hey! I was looking for Beatles and McCartney solo records with my 8 yr old who’s decided that the Beatles are his favorite… all just because I usually would sing Norwegian wood as a bed time song… anyway I came across this wonder. Here’s some cool hand le
