Lena's altered stuff: April 27 - memory and the brain
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-27-memory-and-brain.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 27 - memory and the brain. My brain is an incredible tool. It processes billions of bits of information from multiple sources every moment of every day, and it does this automatically. I don't have to consciously monitor its functions to ensure that it works perfectly and it does a fabulous job in performing the things it's meant to do. Whatever I think in every given moment will affect how my brain directs its internal orchestra. So here's my light bulb moment for today.

Lena's altered stuff: April 15 - book binding
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-15-book-binding.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 15 - book binding. This evening I went to my first meeting of the Queensland Bookbinding Guild. As a book artist I know all about making artist's books so this is about adding another skill to my toolbox. I'm keen to learn about how to use leather for binding and I'm already planning the books I'd like to make. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As much as possible I'll try to explain the processes I use but that will depend on my remembering to take photos as I go. April...

Lena's altered stuff: April 16 - The future of Journalism
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-16-future-of-journalism.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 16 - The future of Journalism. I listened to Future tense this morning. Antony Funnell was talking about a number of new models for journalism in this technological environment. The www.spot.us. Website states that -. The second example was The Printed Blog. This is the world's first daily newspaper comprised entirely of blogs and user-generated content. You can find it at www.theprintedblog.com. My personal opinion about journalists is that, generally, they have a lot to ...

Lena's altered stuff: April 26 - Bilbao
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-26-bilbao.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 26 - Bilbao. Bilbao in Spain featured on Artscape. Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum was praised for it's design and visual appeal. I think I'd have to agree with Gehry's detractors because whilst the Guggenheim Museum looks interesting I expect it took a lot of tricky engineering in it's contruction and also caused a lot of waste in resources.

Lena's altered stuff: April 18 - What's in a name?
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-18-whats-in-name.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 18 - What's in a name? It's my son's birthday today so I thought I'd tell you the story of how we decided to call him David. David is now 20 and he and Luke have a really close relationship. I would like to think that the name thing had something to do with this. Interestingly, when Luke's first son was born David was 13 so there's the same age gap between him and his nephew as him and his brother. So if I ask myself the question "What's in a name? April 28 - These Boots.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Look, I told you we weren't lost. There's planet Earth over there! This was my wedding present to Jason and Shasha. I enlarged one of their wedding photos and started to alter it. I liked the timelessness of the backdrop, so my strange sense of humour kicked in and this is what I've called it. In a futile attempt to increase his intelligence, Jason resorted to sucking out Shasha's brain. Here's one of the final pieces. She was just so beautiful that I had to go play there.

Lena's altered stuff: April 30 - The internet of things
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-30-internet-of-things.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 30 - The internet of things. This is Joe Pemberton's photo from today's Future Tense. The article was about the internet of things. Anthony Funnell's introduction went like this -. An internet where objects, not people, communicate: 'an internet of things'". Signals to everything else. Perhaps convergence is a good thing to a certain point only. I guess we'll see when it starts to happen, then we can decide whether we like it or not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Lena's altered stuff: April 24 - tramp art
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-24-tramp-art.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 24 - tramp art. I heard something on the radio about Tramp Art so I checked it out on the web and found this definition -. I find it interesting that creative pursuits seem to pop up everywhere and it seems as if we're hard-wired to make things with our minds and bodies. It just goes to prove my belief that everyone is creative, but not everyone realises it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my blog. Come on in and make yourself at home.

Lena's altered stuff: April 25 - Anzac Day
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-25-anzac-day.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 25 - Anzac Day. Australia and New Zealand commemorate the ANZAC Day holiday on 25 April every year to remember members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who landed and fell at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Since 1998 the Turks have been permitted to march in the Anzac day parade. You can read more about this in the Compass archives at -. Http:/ www.abc.net.au/compass/s1353484.htm.

Lena's altered stuff: April 29 - Stitches and Craft
http://lenasalteredstuff.blogspot.com/2009/08/april-29-stitches-and-craft.html
Thursday, August 6, 2009. April 29 - Stitches and Craft. This is the ATC I made for this month's swap. As I thought back on the sewing and craft projects I've worked on over the years I realised that the drive to do this is in my blood. I think it's a really good thing for young children to spend time playing with and working on craft projects. Who knows what genius ideas may come out of a basic knowledge of manipulating objects and learning how to connect things? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
