how time flies!
I'm still here.
I still read my flist every day. I just don't post much.
Thanks to everyone who left/sent/posted birthday wishes last week - you're all very kind! And hell, I'm 30 - how did that happen?? XD
Have some pictures.
That's a little sample of the Huge Wall Of Books we're making. It will contain nigh-on 10,000 hard backed books. All of which are cluttering up the studio at the moment, as we drill and saw them into submission. Feels quite odd, destroying books. Anyway, they will all end up in Mulberry's Spring Street store, New York. Pop by, any time from September, I think.
And then my pet project - which I love.
That's some welds, and the umbilical for my welder, which you can just see perched onto the top of the piece! It weighs loads, and I thought we were going to die getting it up there!!
The two clamps sticking out are what I climb up to weld.
Here's me welding the other one - well, it's my feet!!
It's um...precarious? To say the least! Mainly because when you weld, you obviously can't see anything but the light of your arc - which is moving. So it's really easy to either lose balance, or feel like you're going to lose balance. And when I'm scrunched up, welding by my knee, even the pulse of your blood pumping around your body makes you wobble. And breathing out of the question - you can't. And obviously, through all of that, you can't hold on with your hands at all - they're both busy welding!! I have debated wearing a fall-arrest harness. But I haven't felt the need quite yet.
