corvus tristis science craft and an odd bird science craft and an odd bird skip to content corvus tristis science craft and an odd bird science craft and an odd bird home who s corvus sunday song paganini gives me nightmares 03 17 2013 caprice no 24 as played by the absolutely incomparable jasha heifetz leave a comment from uncategorized 52 weeks project january 02 02 2013 i decided this would be more fun if i did a monthly post rather than a weekly one less to clog your feeds more to look at when you do look yeah that s not true at all actually i got real busy with work and apartment hunting and food poisoning and while i took pictures i pretty much didn t take them off my camera for a month but it sounds nicer the first way doesn t it for those new to the concept a 52 week project is a lightened up version of the 365 project i take a picture a week for the whole year now i take a lot more pictures than that but most of them aren t very good my goal was to take a picture a week that i liked that s a much higher hill to climb so here s january week 1 lanterns at the denver zoo s holiday light event week 2 a feather experimenting with deliberate overexposure in an attempt to convey softness week 3 this is not a chameleon for one thing look at the feet the reptile house at the zoo is my favorite on cold days indeed my favorite picture of 2012 came out of there week 4 this is why i get no sewing done could t possibly wake him up you know he s too cute for that and some experiments which have not matured into quality pictures yet but which i hope to play with more this year long exposure of myself playin on my violin i like the effect though i want to hold the actual instrument steadier so all the blur is in the bowing arm which might require i not actually play a song and where s the fun in that it d be interesting to do different songs in front of a neutral background and with an expensive lighting studio sigh i dream does bach look different from say gassoc is paganini anything more than a giant fuzzy blur look i made a gif this is a toadfish and he makes me want to play with stop motion animation and use a tripod next time maybe i can just claim it s a toadfish in an earthquake what s your favorite picture you took this month 1 comment from 52weeks photography sunday song paul halley s winter 01 27 2013 heard here backing a fantastic little animation the maker it s funny because at the beginning you think the rabbitbeastie is trying to manufacture a girlfriend because that s how these stories go insert bride of frankenstein pseudoromance here and maybe that ll make it seem meaningful romance while awesome is also like refined sugar the fastest way to make a story tasty without necessarily adding anything more nutritious than empty calories i sound cynical sure but romance really hasn t been doing it for me lately in storytelling a lot of the time it s used as a shortcut for character development or individual motivation or y know plot boy gets girl heteronormative much or slays dragon to get girl or overcomes challenges to get girl or makes girl girl is reward story is simple zzzzz but that s not what our bunnymonster doing it can t do that it doesn t have the time and it knows it all it s trying to do is make something that will continue on after it and that i get that you can download the track on paul halley s webpage i commented asking for the score and he e mailed it to me i am weirdly ecstatic and in love with both the composer and the internet because seriously that s awesome

still they deserve songs what have you been listening to leave a comment from uncategorized 52 weeks week 1 01 05 2013 because this is what amateur photographers do for new year s right i m gonna go after a 52 weeks sort of deal one picture a week 52 total i take more than that a week of course but i want to take one i really like so here we go my dears with week 1 i went to the denver zoo lights with a few friends and my camera and played with the dark the lanterns they hung in the elephant passage exhibit were particularly beautiful 1 comment from 52weeks photography tutorial antler necklace holder 01 04 2013 point one i like to keep my favorite necklaces out and on display because that s the only way i ll actually wear them point two in my bedroom i ve tried to combine the whole oh hey someone s actual functional room vibe with a sort of nature museum vibe because yes i am nerd this is what i did and this is how i did it antlers grow and are shed on a yearly basis and if you poke around on ebay you can easily snatch up shed antlers that people have found whilst wandering about the great outdoors no harming of animals required and they re awesome and pretty i put it in a barnwood frame because it matched the rest of my room a bit better but i think a really ornate and fancy frame would look awesome as well here s how i did it i gathered my supplies and tools which included the following a frame that fits your antler an antler that fits your frame circular instructions for the win foamboard a pretty piece of paper or fabric large enough to fit in the frame in the color of my choice a knife to cut the foamboard glue a hammer and some small nails something to lash the antler down twine ribbon hemp leather and a yarn or tapesty needle large enough to sew it frame mounting bits oh and some help i ve always got convenient help sitting around sometimes even when i don t want it using ruler and knife i cut a piece of foamboard to fit snugly into the frame i wanted the fit to be tight because i was going to attach a heavy antler to it i cut the pretty paper to fit and glued it neatly onto the foamboard then popped it back into the frame and lined up my antler about where i wanted it protip you want the tines of the antler pointing up so your necklaces don t succumb to gravity using hammer and nail i marked where i would need to attach the antler to the foamboard then i removed the antler and poked holes all the way through with a quick hammer whack i realighned the antler threaded up my needle and got to stitching i went around and through a bunch of times to make sure it was stable then knotting off the twine on the back then i globbed some glue on the knits just to be sure they stayed strong i have a lot of necklaces to hang on this thing after all i hammered a few nails around the edge of the frame to make sure the foamboard stayed in i tried my little staple gun first but they weren t long enough for the foamboard and attached a hanger onto the back of the frame so i could y know hang it up et voila properly bedecked 3 comments from decorating the snowflake aka dragon s winter coat 12 25 2012 merry christmanukkwanzwhatever i hope you re having a lovely day because i am not i worked last night i m on call today and i work tonight and tomorrow night and it sucks but you know what the money ain t bad and i m going to take

and all maybe just a sniffle still for most of you i d bet that today is the big day and hey look i got you something careful though she s one of the challenging ones a wintry dragon investigates a snowflake i imagine she has to hold her breath lest she melt it per usual click through for the full res and with all the fiddly furry detail i m betting bigger will be easier i release these free

string quartet does regina spektor s machine my violin teacher wants me to consider joining a quartet this semester i m both terrified and excited 1 comment from sunday song cookie party 12 16 2012 last sunday was my second annual cookie exchange of awesome i had a pile of friends over and fed them a tasty dinner with the cost of admission set at one half batch of cookies per head they were all delicious these were my contributions these delicious morsels were orange creamsicle cookies i zested two oranges and one thumb for these things and it was worth it second i made these and then was so damn proud of myself i proceeded to drag every single person who walked over my threshold over to look at them while squealing like a small child they re dinosaur cookies i used the recipe for turning cake mix into cutout cookies here one box of chocolate cake mix and a pair of dinosaur cookie cutters later and i had myself an entire herd the cookies spread more than i d like for cutout cookies but were quick and easy which was the goal what with party to be hosting luckily my planned method of frosting ie bones really just needed a generally dinosaur shaped background i whipped up a batch of buttercream popped it into a ziplock bag and clipped off the corner no fancy tips required there were triceratops and also stegosaurus it may sound a bit self centered but i m just so damn proud of myself for these i ve never really done much fancy frostingness and i may have exploded my first bag of sugary goodness in the squeezing of it protip don t pack a ziplock bag full that s bad so i think these are kind of epic for my skill level now i want some actual frosting bags tips and more dinosaur cookie cutters 2 comments from cooking older entries rss feed rss posts corvus links corvus
