An Exploration of Large Scale Foundation Paper Piece Quilt Designing

Aka

Cozy Swords So Big

I made this quilt for a sword enthusiast, I’m sure they would clock inaccurate sword proportions right away. It was important to me that the (non magical) swords be as proportionally accurate as possible. I based each blade to hilt ratio directly on historical or famous prop references (can you spot them?) and designed them to be life sized.

A very sweet boy’s tail for scale against an early pattern draft

The most challenging part of constructing this quilt was working on the RIDICULOUSLY long blades. Typically individual pieces of an FPP pattern are small and easily maneuvered. My largest blade pattern pieces were about 45 inches long, a design decision I would never inflict on anybody but myself.

The smallest blade- the only one I took photos of because the rest were way too overwhelming to document. The largest pieces were triple the length of this.

Designing the blades to be contained in a single piece of each pattern maximized precision in the parts of the designs that I really really wanted to be smooth and sleek.

The long blades were very hard to construct, it’s easy to end up with bubbled fabric on FPP pattern pieces so large. Glue stick and spray starch were critical here.

My only totally impossible sword was designed in a more traditional fpp kind of way, broken into many small pattern pieces. There was a lot more room for error in seam matching, so this block took me much longer to complete than any of the others. I redid quite a few seams to get as close as I could to perfect.

Overall I loved how these large scale FPP designs turned out. I think the result was worth the hassle of working with my comically large pattern pieces.

The first step is already in place, with the IKEA Industry factory in Kazlu Ruda, Lithuania, switching from a fossil-based glue to a starch-based version made from non-food grade corn. The goal is to have most board-producing factories in the IKEA supply chain using adhesives with lower climate footprints by 2030.

Could this cause problems for people with corn allergies? I don't know if corn starch is an allergen.

In my recent travels across the internet [cough] youtube shorts I found out about Ukrainian strawberry dumplings, which are often served with sour cream. And I thought, hey, those sound pretty tasty, I should try making them. I found this recipe and got to experimenting.

Now, I will admit, when I first looked at that recipe, I was filled with a deep sense of "ughhhhh" about the wrapper making step. I wanted dumplings now, or failing that in like, 15 minutes. I didn't have time to knead or rest dough! But I looked at that wrapping recipe, and I realised something: the recipe from the wrapping is weirdly similar to wonton wrappers? Not the same, the Ukrainian dumplings have more oil content, but I thought "hey. this sub might work." Now, I imagine if I showed any Ukrainian grandmothers what I made, they would be horrified, but I can say that wonton based strawberry dumplings are tasty.

The recipe assumes you are using fresh strawberries. However, if you take frozen strawberries, and separate them into more or less liquid sections, you can put the less liquid part in the wrappers, and then steam them so you don't have to worry about them leaking as much. You can then combine the strawberry juice with starch, sugar, lemon juice over a gentle heat to make a simple strawberry sauce that goes really well with the dumplings and sour cream.

This last experiment, I must warn you, is ridiculous. Decadent. I made it, and immediately summoned a black goat to my kitchen, that asked me if I wanted to live deliciously. And I told that goat: thanks for the offer, but I don't need the taste of butter to do that. I have these mutant strawberry dumplings. Take some small fresh strawberries. Cut off the top, and cut into quarters. Keep those four quarters together. Put those strawberry quarters on a wonton wrapper (optional: add a smear of strawberry jam as 'glue.') Slot between those quarters a single dark chocolate button. Wrap the wrapper, and steam for six minutes. Serve piping hot with sour cream, and experience a glimpse of heaven in the form of hot strawberries and melted chocolate.

Random pics of bookbinding that I was able to find on my computer.

Also, most western sources of bookbinding or conservation use wheat starch paste but as a Finnish person, I haven't found and I don't think you can find wheat starch easily in here, since we take celiacs pretty seriously here (lmao it's the excuse, we just love the potato)

So we have maize starch, potato starch, and oat starch available in general. Rice starch is the best one tho since it's available from any asian grocery store. I haven't done any tests on the Finn available starches but grain based starches seem to be the best from what I've read, so potato starch can go and fuck off.

And while I haven't seen any comparisons between wheat and rice starch, I think using either one is fine. The only scientific comparisons I've seen are between oats, potato, etc. but wheat is just the most common in west, while rice starch is most common in east so I think they're both just good. It's just that rice starch is more available in some western countries.

Also, I have used a mix of starch glue and PVA on so while I could write an essay or two about what glues to use, with half it it being questions about WHAT, HOW?? this is always somewhat regional and throwing around brand names is useless. This is something that books about book binding won't usually tell you, but they're just not fucking localized and it matters A LOT.

PVA is a huge category of glues and they do work, since as synthetic glues they can be... elastic? Like, they don't dry stiff. But also, they don't all perform the same. Like in Finland we tend to say to beginners that EriKeeper works, and in US I know that Elmer's Glue is not the same, but it's also the one that works for this purpose and is the basic glue that you can use.

Both Elmer's and EriKeeper are just as bad on the long run but they also both work really well for beginner projects and for someone, who just wants to bind a couple of books for family use, they're both ADEQUATELY GOOD.

So anygays, I forgot if I had a point here, other than you can use what the fuck glue want, as long as it's not potato starch, and it's in the PVA family, I guess.

A scrapbook I made for a friend. Didn't end up exactly as planned but I am still pretty happy with the result.

The book is made to be opened all the way to the spine so I bent pages 2 cm away from left side, glued them together by the bent part and sewed through them for increased durability and aesthetics.

The bending also makes the spine bigger than the block of pages itself. This way you can glue in photos etc. without bloating the whole book

Front and back covers are made from 2 pieces of cardboard. Smaller one in width of 2 cm glued at the spine and second bigger one 1 cm apart from the smaller one. The covers are also sewn through together with frist pages in the gap between boards to hold better.

I have cut all the pages by hand which I will never do again (its almost impossible to cut pages this big to be perfectly rectangular). The block was trimmed by hand as well which was a tedious task due to its thickness. This resulted in some unwanted curves on sides of the block. Next time, I will rather leave the sides uneven.

Materials used:

Pages - carton of lower weight (dont remember exactly)

Covers - 2mm cardboards, black cloth reinforced by starch glue and thin washi paper, bronze 120 g/m3 paper (the paper is a bit metalic but it doesnt show well on photos)

Brown "blacksmiths" thread (durable celulose based thread usualy used for leather)

04: so enlightenment isn't really the point for you?

96: not really. i don't feel that enlightenment can be reconciled with the physical nature of the animal that considers it. peace, maybe. once the world tilts, when it changes, enlightenment will have to change too. it's philosophy based on understanding, which is neuronally conditional, where peace is simply the absence of pain.

96: not to say that one is more obtainable than the other, but that is the distinction i choose.

04: and i'm guessing there is no end to the journey towards peace, no goalpost of achievement-

96: - only different ways to keep going. different ways to lessen pain. acceptance, denial, change. i think that is adequately human.

96: so maybe you can look at it as a challenge, a problem worthy of exploring methodology.

04: i guess that's why we're here. most of the concepts you and arc and ros and even buzzword follow do get cobbled together to bandage immediate crises, but i wouldn't say there's a consistent mindset i truly keep with me, just different kinds of answers to put away questions that don't leave on their own.

96: if all you ever have is a quilt of hope, that's enough.

96: and you can always shave your head and walk to india if it doesn't feel like enough yet.

61: ROARING WAVES; DEAFENING POWER, ENDLESS TIDES

04: then what does it look like?

61: OPEN PLAINS

61: OR IT LOOKS LIKE GLUE. IT BINDS MORE THAN ONE THING TOGETHER, MAYBE THAT MAKES IT BETTER, MAYBE WORSE, MAYBE IT NEVER DRIES, NO DESICCATION, POLYMERS STAY UNTANGLED.

61: BUT WHEN YOU PUT THOSE THINGS TOGETHER YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AND CALL IT NEW

61: A NEW THING, CHEMICALLY ATTACHED

61: OR IS IT LIKE WELDING? TWO PIECES ATTACHED AT THE MOLECULE?

61: LIKE AN ANT HILL?

61: GROWING FROM THE LOAM?

61: I THINK IT'S GLUE. IT CHANGES FORM, ONCE IT STOPS BEING WET AND USELESS IT BECOMES PART OF THE COMPOSITION. THE TWO PIECES CAN'T BECOME "ONE" WITHOUT THE THIRD PIECE,

61: THAT BEAUTIFUL HORSE HOOF, WHEAT PASTE, PVA, EPOXY; GLUE.

04: love is like a damp starch

61: AND COOL AIR

How to Outsmart Your Boss on kereta api indonesia

When you've bought a prepare structure set up on the flat desk, you might want to enable it to be far more intriguing by introducing some mountains and hills. There are actually a number of means To achieve this, and they're equally easy.™

Papier-Mâché Method

In the event your structure is short-term, or you don't want to spend much money, You may use the papier-mâché method. In essence, you simply scrunch up some newspapers into the final form with the hill or mountain, then cover them with sheets of newspaper dipped in papier-mâché paste.

The standard method of earning papier-mâché paste is so as to add one particular aspect drinking water to one part flour. Lots of people choose to boil the paste, indicating that it makes the consistency smoother. Drinking water to flour ratio is altered to five areas drinking water to 1 section flour In such cases. Other people use A 3 to at least one or even a just one to one ratio of water and polyvinyl acetate wood glue. Nevertheless Other folks state that starch tends to make a fantastic paste. Introducing a sprint of cinnamon to your mixture provides the paste a pleasant scent; adding a dash of salt and sugar lessens the chances of the products producing mould.

You just dip sheets of newspaper (fold them several occasions to produce them thicker) during the paste and drape them more than the scrunched up newspapers. The sheets will be tender and pliable, so mould them into hills and valleys as you want. Allow the papier-mâché dry right away. You will find that it is challenging and rigid, like a piñata.

Paint it which has a drinking water-based paint in shades of inexperienced (for grass) and brown (for Dust) and gray (for rock). You may as well use spray paint, but be sure it really is matte, not glossy, paint. While the paint is still moist, sprinkle some grass (obtainable within the passion store) or inexperienced-coloured sawdust. When the paint is dry, incorporate some lichen for bushes and trees (also offered at any passion shop).

Window Screening and Wood Supports

If your train format is long-lasting, a more strong approach to creating mountains and hills is to implement screening and wooden supports. This also has the benefit you can operate tracks within the mountain itself, giving you make the right supports. Mainly, you narrow wooden aid blocks to the appropriate dimensions, then drape window screening (referred to as "fly monitor" in Australia) in excess of the blocks, stapling the screen on the blocks. You should fasten the blocks to the desk with screws or nails to start with, so they don't go all over.

In order for you, it is possible to establish a 2nd monitor mattress all-around or with the mountain, elevated above the table. Merely use support blocks and plywood to create a rigid base for your keep track of.

When the screening is in place, pinch it in destinations to generate rugged edges, ditches, and valleys. Then blend up some frequent domestic plaster (available at any components retail outlet to repair holes in a plaster wall) and slobber it in excess of the display screen. There isn't any have to be careful, just ensure that each of the screen is roofed. A thicker plaster combine operates significantly better than a skinny blend, since the latter enables the display screen to indicate by.

When you get to your rugged vertical bits, use horizontal strokes of a knife to simulate rock cuts. Let the plaster dry right away and afterwards paint as explained higher than.

Lastly, end it off with lichen bushes and trees as ideal.

Remember Entry

While you are selecting how major to produce your mountain, and where by to position it, also give thought to derailments. Murphy's Legislation assures that, at some point, your train is going to derail from the tunnel through your mountain. Ensure that the tunnel entrance is substantial more than enough in order to achieve in and get your coach out.

Or look at these options: For those who have manufactured a papier-mâché mountain, rather than glued it on the table, you could merely elevate it from the table.

Should you have designed a permanent wood block and wire screen mountain, then contemplate chopping accessibility holes within the table, down below the mountain, so you can arrive at in and right the practice or eliminate it. Don't make the holes as well near the monitor, for the reason that If your teach does derail at that place, you don't want it to tumble with the hole on to the ground.

Graduate university gives a more specialised level of training and Improved, skilled instruction in a selected area. The most crucial determination in implementing to graduate college just isn't in choosing the establishment but fairly in pinpointing the most favorable place of analyze. Sad to say, the choice-generating process isn't going to conclusion there. Other considerations such as timing, location of review, money assist, and the coed populace should all be given appropriate interest.

With this publication, we provide tricks to jumpstart your quest for just a Master's or Doctoral diploma.
