Past and future projects

 These are my first attempts at making these pendants. I bought them as part of a kit from 

anniehowes.etsy.com and she also has her own website www.anniehowes.com   

I think I had a few air bubbles - she recommends using clamps but finding the right clamps in Korea is another matter - I've been looking without much success - they are not big on home DIY here.

Anyway I finished these a while back but the airplane one was a present for my niece (who works as a travel agent) so I wanted to wait until she had received it before posting the image.

And this contraption is a longer term project - well we'll have to wait 4 months for the results. It is actually 3 film cannisters and I have tried to tape them to my window ledge and then have used chopsticks to keep the window open and hopefully the whole caboodle will stay steady in any weather because inside each cannister is a piece of film and each cannister is a pinhole camera. The hole is in the side so I have aimed 2 across the buildings/horizon and 1 is aimed into the sky. They are supposed to be taking something called a solargraph - and exposure can be 3-6months. It is for Tarja Trygg's PhD in Global Solargaphs - she is based in Helsinki, Finland - you can read all about it on
www.solargraphy.com and volunteer to take some from your lattitude/longtitude. I will post the results - but I think I may already have exposed one film when I accidentally opened the lid of one !!! oh dear...
I've also asked another photographer here to take some form her location (as they sent me 6 cannisters) so hopefully between us we will have at least one good solargraph from Korea
