Kitchen Experiment: beet dye hair

 

what you will need

 

take equal parts beet juice and vinegar

 

section out hair

 

dunk hair

 

dry it out

 

comb and style.

Beet juice makes a lovely pink color in light hair this doen't work well in dark hair. It's not permanent and will wash out in a few washes.

 

I'm shooting a little PSA today. These are props for it.

Yes Fingerless gloves (also armwarmers). This pair scrunches nicely. It's the 80's for your arms. I'll take orders if you want your own.

While I was cutting wood for a built-in loft bed (see below) I stacked the waist wood to make this tower. It would be way cool if this was like 20times bigger. I don't know if that's actually possible.

The built-in is for the second room in the reno project. Which is done but we still need to clean it up for photographing.

The other projects:

Music:
I'm loading stuff to my sound cloud account

Writing:
Tsegan made some progress but is going to take for ever
The Irish Pirate Ninja is stalled

Other:
I'm going back to school. But I'm doing it "ghetto" style! Should be interesting.

Kitchen Experiment: coffee staining wood

Step one: brew strong coffee.

Apply in various ways:

Method 1: plain coffee to wood
Result: nothing

Method 2: coffee and milk
Result: a very light stain

Method 3: rub warm grounds into wood
Result: light "muddy" stain

Method 4: cold grounds and vegetable oil
Result: light stain. but I think it was more from the oil than the coffee

Conclusion: coffee will make a light stain if it's mixed with milk.

Follow up: would a coffee infused oil work better than milk? Expect results in 3-6 weeks.

the begining

I should've been doing this all along. Keeping records of the projects I'm working on. Loging in a report on activity sharing photographic prof etc...

Yeah, happy new year.

The house remodel:
One room is already complete. It went from seventies paneling and wall paper extravaganza to, well just look at the pictures.

The built in unit for the other bed room is mostly cut. I ran into a problem when I realized the width was two inches too short. I think I can widge it to work. I'm afraid it will look weird but it shouldn't be too ghetto.

Writing projects:
Finished the rugh draft of a Christmas play. I hope to have it read soon. I also hope to have it named soon.
Wooden Cloak is in rewrite.
Tsegan is going to take for ever
and The Irish Pirate Ninja is still in outline.

Social projects:
The Psalm Project rehearsed twice.
