Does this multitool infringe this design patent? A Long Island jury just said "yes." I would have actually said no, but the jury may have been influenced by (non-claimed) visual similarities between the accused products and the patentee's commercial embodiment.

u can do anything with loop… we only know how they act in two extremely specific contexts, outside of that loop could be so many different things…. thats why my modern au loop is Like That (has “everyone else is an npc” brain bc it’s the only way they could cope with not being able to help the people getting hurt around them. it’s just their role in the story, it’s impossible to change the script and it doesn’t matter anyway bc they’re not real! loop and their headmates are the only real people with real thoughts and feelings in the entire world ^^)

oh idea for a drawing

First try at leather tooling! :) all hand carved (though I tried using a stamp set for the barbed wire)

So what's your LEAST favorite pigment?

oooooh... let me see.

i don't think i have any one particular pigment that i dislike ALL of the time—watercolor can be temperamental, and the difference between using a transparent vs opaque color really can change the entire experience. they even dry differently, depending on what color you're using and with what materials. i can't really speak to oils or acrylics though since i've only used those in passing. (i do want to get into oils at some point... it's a gorgeous medium.)

if i absolutely had to pin down a specific pigment or pigment type that i don't particularly enjoy using myself, it... miiight be the cadmiums? yellow, red, orange, it doesn't matter. i know a lot of artists love them to death and they're even a staple on a lot of palettes, but the opacity and toxicity of them just puts them lower down on the list of the pigments i would usually reach for. (as long as you aren't eating them or inhaling the pigment itself handling cadmiums is usually okay-ish, but i prefer to err on the side of caution.)

that's not to say that i outright hate them, i've used them once or twice. but if i have an alternative to cadmium red (pr108) on hand like pyrol red (pr254) or something, i'd rather reach for that. especially since it can make cleaner mixes! (colors that are really opaque tend to get muddy easier, which is also the reason people hear 'don't mix with white, just dilute it' all the time. pyrol red is still opaque, but yk.)

for a while, cadmiums and the like were the only way you could get really true, lightfast and vibrant colors of whatever category they occupied, but there are so many other alternatives now that i find fun to explore and more comfortable to work with.

that said, it makes more sense in general to just play it by ear and see what colors speak to you. pr206 isn't exactly a perfect all-purpose mixing red, but that doesn't stop it from being one of my favorite colors of all time lol. and warmer reds do have a much smaller selection than cooler toned reds do!

(also, not a huge fan of colors that are incredibly hard to rewet, like true viridian (pg18) or potters pink (pr233) even if i do find their shades delicately pretty and really unique. working with them can be frustrating if you aren't using them directly from the tube. some brands are better about that than others though! and both of those are kind of bad examples anyway bc i think they're gorgeous when allowed to granulate on cold or rough press paper, in mixes or on their own.

ultramarine blue (pb29) sometimes has a similar issue actually, but the color is so intense that it remains a staple for me anyway lol. sucker for certain classics ig.)

Craftsmanship at its Finest: The Art of Hand-Tooled Leather Wallets and Bags 

A hand-tooled leather bag is not merely an accessory; it's a piece of wearable art that showcases your appreciation for quality and elegance. With every detail finely tuned and every stitch perfectly made, these bags enhance your wardrobe for any setting. Whether attending a formal event or a casual meetup, a hand-tooled bag is the perfect accessory to express your style and sophistication. Here we share some of insights about what goes into creating these hand-tooled bags and how these accessories can stand the test of time. 

The intricate process

The making of hand-tooled leather bags and wallets is a lengthy process that demands meticulous attention to detail. The process begins with sourcing the highest quality leather. Artisans meticulously inspect each sourced hide, considering several factors such as thickness, texture, and grain. Based on these factors, they decide whether a particular hide is suitable for hand tooling. After leather selection, the hides undergo conditioning, cleaning, and dyeing. All these processes are important for achieving the preferred color and finish before the tooling can begin.

Technique

For the hand-tooling process, Artisans must have an extremely steady hand and an eye for detail. They use specialized tools to carve various designs and patterns into the leather surface. Each cut is made in a calculated manner and with immense precision. Only with such care is it possible to achieve the captivating motifs on the leather. The extensive effort put in by the Artisans ultimately transforms a normal accessory into a piece of art.

Time and patience

The art of creating a hand-tooled leather wallet or bag is not for the impatient, as it requires countless hours of practice to perfect the craft. Also, the craftsman must be committed to creating the finest piece every time. From the start to the final stitch, every part of the process requires them to be highly attentive and precise.

Enduring beauty

Hand-tooled leather products have a timeless appeal and they are far beyond a passing trend. Unlike mass-produced accessories, each hand-tooled bag is unique and a one-of-a-kind product.

Peace of Mind in a Pocket: My Experience with the RFID Protector

In today's digital world, protecting our personal information is paramount. With the growing prevalence of contactless payment methods, the risk of electronic pickpocketing, also known as RFID skimming, becomes a concern. That's why I decided to invest in the RFID Protector, a product designed to safeguard my contactless cards.

Discreet Protection for Everyday Transactions

The RFID Protector is a slim and lightweight sleeve that easily fits into my wallet alongside my cards. It comes in various sizes to accommodate different card types, ensuring a comfortable and discreet addition to my everyday carry. The best part is that it doesn't interfere with the functionality of my contactless cards; I can still tap and pay with ease, knowing my information is shielded.

Blocking Unwanted Scans and Ensuring Security

The core function of the RFID Protector is to block unauthorized scans. The product utilizes a special material that creates a barrier, preventing radio waves from scanners from reaching the chip embedded in my contactless cards. This effectively shields my personal and financial information from potential thieves. While I haven't personally experienced any skimming attempts, the peace of mind this product offers is invaluable.

Multiple Layers of Protection for Added Security

Some RFID Protectors simply block radio waves, but the one I use boasts additional security features. It includes a layer that physically protects the card itself from bending or breaking, a common concern with contactless cards. Additionally, some versions offer a water-resistant layer for added protection against accidental spills or splashes. These additional features make the RFID Protector a well-rounded solution for safeguarding my cards.

A Convenient and Affordable Security Solution

The RFID Protector is a convenient and affordable way to enhance the security of my contactless cards. It's easy to use, integrates seamlessly with my existing wallet setup, and offers peace of mind without breaking the bank. For anyone who uses contactless payment methods, the RFID Protector is a worthwhile investment.

A Recommended Addition to Your Wallet

Overall, the RFID Protector has become an essential part of my wallet. It offers a discreet and effective solution for safeguarding my contactless cards, providing peace of mind during everyday transactions. While remaining vigilant is always important, the RFID Protector adds an extra layer of security in today's digital age. If you're looking for a convenient and affordable way to protect your contactless cards, I highly recommend the RFID Protector.

In the current rapidly evolving digital currency market, decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are redefining the shape of financial services with their unique advantages. Bit Loop, as a leading decentralized lending platform, not only provides a safe and transparent lending environment, but also opens up new passive income channels for users through its innovative sharing reward system.

Personal links and permanent ties: Create a stable revenue stream One of the core parts of Bit Loop is its recommendation system, which allows any user to generate a unique sharing link when they join the platform. This link is not only a “key” for users to join the Bit Loop, but also a tool for them to establish an offline network. It is worth noting that offline partners who join through this link are permanently tied to the recommender, ensuring that the sharer can continue to receive rewards from the offline partner’s activities.

Unalterable referral relationships: Ensure fairness and transparency A significant advantage of blockchain technology is the immutability of its data. In Bit Loop, this means that once a referral link and live partnership is established, the relationship is fixed and cannot be changed. This design not only protects the interests of recommenders, but also brings a stable user base and activity to the platform, while ensuring the fairness and transparency of transactions.

Automatically distribute rewards: Simplify the revenue process Another highlight of the Bit Loop platform is the ability for smart contracts to automatically distribute rewards. When the partner completes the circulation cycle, such as investment returns or loan payments, the smart contract automatically calculates and sends the corresponding percentage of rewards directly to the recommender’s wallet. This automatic reward distribution mechanism not only simplifies the process of receiving benefits, but also greatly improves the efficiency of capital circulation.

Privacy protection and security: A security barrier for funds All transactions and money flows are carried out on the blockchain, guaranteeing transparency and traceability of every operation. In addition, the use of smart contracts significantly reduces the risk of fraud and misoperation, providing a solid security barrier for user funds. Users can confidently invest and promote boldly, and enjoy the various conveniences brought by decentralized finance.

conclusion As decentralized finance continues to evolve, Bit Loop offers a new economic model through its unique recommendation system that enables users to enjoy highly secure and transparent financial services while also earning passive income by building and maintaining a personal network. Whether for investors seeking stable passive income or innovators looking to explore new financial possibilities through blockchain technology, Bit Loop provides a platform not to be missed.

Do you carry any other fun and whimsical things in your purse besides the brass measuring tools? can we see them??

"What do I carry in my purse" is actually a really long answer! Not very whimsical though.

I don't carry a very large purse but it is actually jam-packed with stuff. Obviously the usual—credit cards, ID, badge, money, car keys.

But the rest is taken up by a tidy little lineup of things that are useless 99% of the time and crucial 1% of the time. Some of it (most of the top row) floats loose in my purse; most of the bottom row packs into the little bag there. My sketchbook du jour is usually carried separately.

So: top row:

Sketchbook and the little brass drafting tools, which I carry inside the sketchbook, and also a little metal ruler that has honestly become redundant.

Then, a bunch of pens and marking tools: A ballpoint, some pencils, paint pen, permanent marker, white gel pens, white paint pen, white mechanical pencil, and eraser. This varies depending on what I'm working on and what I've absently left in the wrong place.

Some lip gloss, hand sanitizer, concealer, chapstick, nail polish, and heavy lotion (clay dries your hands out SO hard) and a hair pin. Usually there are several sword shaped hair pins also; I took them out while working on a project and they'll migrate back when I'm done.

Headphones, a couple knives, and a tiny foldable gerber multitool. A little flat card multitool, with a heavy needed shoved into its case also, and a pack of clear sticky notes.

A two-port USB brick; I usually also carry a power bank but it's charging in the car right now.

My change purse and my wallet, which is just the IDs; my actual cards are in a pocket in the purse that also has a little nail kit. My car keys, which have a bottle opener and a combined window breaker-seatbelt cutter, a 64 gig USB key, and keys to my studio, house, garage, and the courthouse.

The bag itself is metal mesh, which means it’s durable but also somewhat see-thru.

That little tin is a tiny first aid kit, which probably I should have unpacked, but it's got bandaids, bandages, skin tape, blistex; antiseptic, itch, and burn cream; eyedrops; several small packets of common meds (tylenol, advil, etc) and a little folded chart for meds, since I’m terrible at remembering which can be taken with which; a breath mask. There's also a razor and some safety pins tucked in there. It's held shut with a hair tie.

There's some single-use earplugs and some zip ties, some more eye drops, and a tiny vial of liquid breath mint.

A deck of mini playing cards.

A tiny sewing kit--needles, pins, earring backs and pin backs, some heavy black thread on a bobbin, a measuring tape, and some foldable scissors. There's a couple glasses screws in there from before I had Lasik.

Another little multitool, some binder clips, a tiny level, a 120 gig USB, and some bobby pins.

Matches and a lighter, a flat pen, and coils of 20 lb fishing line, picture wire, and monofilament, as well as two short USB cords.

A tide pen and a glasses screwdriver.

The bag contains cardboard strips with several yards of tape: Electrical, packing, scotch, duct, gaff, and skin tape. Superglue. A spare piece of heavy cardboard to use as a cutting surface if needed.

An Xacto knife with the blade reversed (learned my lesson after jamming my hand into my bag and taking a chunk out of a finger when a springloaded switchblade opened itself) and spare blades.

Some more clear sticky notes and a tiny lined notebook for when I just need scratch paper.

My car actually includes two slightly different emergency bags—one for regular roadside emergencies (including emergencies in blizzard weather) and one for camping emergencies, and a bit more of an extensive first aid kit.
