tool microwaving ecoprints is fast and efficient the caution here is fire dry leaves and paper in the microwave create sparks keeping the paper or fabric wet will alleviate this concern also a good heat sensor keeps tabs on the temperature and you ll want to be present during all of the microwaving process here is a great resource for microwaving on watercolor paper and here is a great post for microwaving fabric although the artist in these posts uses recycled plastic for her bundles i like to enclose the whole package in a ziplock bag this helps retain moisture reducing the chance of combustion and fire in the microwave and saves clean up please do all processing of ecoprints in a space with lots and lots of ventilation shibori always wet your fabric 30 minutes in plain water gently squeeze out water roll in a clean towel fold scrunch and tie or roll fabric over dowel and tie process in dyebath let sit overnight unwrap rinse a little dishsoap and then rinse iron to set color ways to fold for shibori here is a good photo tutorial about folding the square triangle and scrunch here is a link to two kinds of wrapping in this video one type is over a rope and the second over a pvc pipe or you could use your dowel the language is not english but you will be able to follow the visual instructions this is a good website for square and scrunched folding here are directions for chevron fold preparing your dyebath gather materials large pot string clothes pins water source heat source bucket dye either tumeric or onion skins wet fabric either roll on dowel and scrunch and tie or fold and tie or rubber band you can choose not to tie the fabric put water in stockpot and add dye for onion skins add half your amount for tumeric add about 2 tablespoons bring to just under boiling don t boil turn down heat to low when you see tiny bubbles at the surface add fabric keep the dyebath just below boiling after 30 minutes turn off heat and let fabric cool in dyebath next day remove fabric untie and rinse use a little dishsoap to rinse out color do this in your bucket hang on your clothesline to dry cyanotype printing chemical reaction the relatively high energy photons from blue and near uv light are sufficient to initiate a photochemical redox reaction wherein iron iii is reduced to iron ii while the citrate is oxidised to 3 oxopentanedioic acid the prussian blue complex itself precipitates out as a salt containing the mixed oxidation state complex of iron ii and iron iii fe iii fe ii cn 6 once the exposure is complete excess unreacted chemicals are rinsed away leaving a negative image of white against blue despite the fearsome sounding name both the hexacyanoferrate compound and the resulting prussian blue are low hazard the same complex stability associated with the ligation of the cyanide ligands to haemoglobin and the resulting toxicity renders them unavailable for release from the compounds encountered in this experiment indeed the ease of production and stability of the blue compound meant it was in use long before the cyanide ligand had been identified which is how the latter would later acquire its name from the greek word kyaneos meaning dark blue a good article on history and safety when mixing chemicals yourself here cyanotype on fabric determine right put prints on this side and wrong side in a room without sunlight or at night draw a small square pen is good in the corner of your fabric about 1 square mark the square with the letter g on the same side of the fabric right next to your square write the letter g just outside of your square box cut out your square keep your square and your fabric dark until you are ready to test the fabric test your square on the side with the g on it place a leaf scrap of paper or small item on the square and test it in the sun does the fabric change color if it does the g is the right side of your fabric it will face the sun it will have leaves or flowers on it when you expose it if it does not flip the square over and try the other side if this side prints then use the other side of the fabric to face the sun posted by merylruth june 12 2020 july 5 2020

of embroidered chickadee watch w out sound needles getting to the point and thread and knots choosing the right needle there is also a cool pdf to identify loose needles that may have escaped and are randomly hanging out in a pincushion threading the needle seriously the most frustrating part of hand sewing from mary corbet s website learning to hear your hand sewing needle size thread weight experienced embroiderers generally acquire a feel for what size needle will work best in specific stitching situations here are four tips to help you decide what size needle to use 1 the needle should be able to pull the thread including the doubled thread near the eye through the fabric fairly easily without allowing too much abrasion on the thread as it passes through the fabric the rule of thumb that i always heard growing up is that the shaft of the needle should be about as thick as the embroidery thread but the only situations where this really works are in counted techniques needlepoint stitching on open weaves and any other time there s already enough space between the fabric threads for the needle to pass through easily for surface embroidery you have to consider not only the thickness of the thread but also the thickness of the thread at the eye where the thread is doubled and the weave of the fabric a tighter close weave is going to require a needle that can make the right sized hole for the thread and the needle to pass through 2 although you may hear a pop as the needle passes through the fabric the pop is usually most evident on very taut fabrics there should be no real resistance in the fabric when pulling the eye of the needle through if there s resistance if the fabric is pulling and denting and you really have to fight to get the needle through that s a sign you should be using a larger needle 3 although there might be a soft noise as the rest of the thread passes through the fabric there should not be a loud zipper noise if the thread makes a loud zipper noise and you can feel resistance as you pull the thread all the way through to the end of the stitch chances are your needle isn t big enough 4 the hole the needle makes should be large enough for the thread to pass through but not any larger the needle should not leave a visible hole around the thread keep in mind that there is no absolute formula or rule for what size needle to use for specific threads while general suggestions might be made the selection of the needle is often based on personal preference what needle are you comfortable with in this stitching situation over time it becomes second nature to know what size needle will work best while this is text is packs a ton of great information it s a compilation of tips and advice from natalie chanin the founder of alabama

adult patrons in a school setting what are the best resources what are the best practices for delivery of services there are no unequivocal answers 35 librarians will give you 35 answers then how are decisions made it s pretty much a balancing act a school library is like a little business you have products books and services help finding and using resources you pay bills keep within a budget order books and non books fix stuff pick up stuff and even take out the trash sometimes add in meet and greet with 520 students as many as 100 per hour add in meeting and collaborating with faculty and tailoring the collection for both personal needs being an adolescent and academic needs getting stuff done for class but also instruct in ways to avoid plagiarism find good sources use stuff ethically consider copyright do all of this in a constantly changing environment technologically speaking throw in keeping good relations with volunteers parents and administration and you have the makings of a balancing act know your environment who are your students boys girls or co ed what grade level k 8 middle school high school religious school private school public school special school eg high school for the arts how is your role defined will you be expected to collect organize and catalog will you be expected to work collaboratively with faculty in developing research projects and writing assignments that involve research will you help students create multi media creative projects expectations what are your administrator s expectations are they cutting edge pro technology or stuck in the 1950s do they support your vision or even know what your vision is do they know what you do every day what are your expectations who exactly are your stakeholders who do you serve
