Throwing off sparks — My best friend visited for the weekend from across the country and we tried our hands at different types of solar printing - first with a turmeric solution and second with solarfast. Solarfast continues to be my enemy (haven’t had a single print turn out so far) but at least now I have some cool textured and toned paper to work on.

Anyway here’s my hand.

A solar print (red) from a digital negative (black and white) only took 7 months to make on the dashboard of my car.

Sun-printing is an easy technique to create stunning fabrics. Using plants and other objects you have lying around, you can achieve marvelous results. In this video, I show you how to do sun-printing and share some tricks to get eye-catching results!

Life sucks right now. So I'm projecting Solar Flare with my period cramps because I love him. He's fine(I hope), don't worry :D

Y'all wonderful people at Anthrocon cleared me out of several print editions! Most I have re-ordered, but there's some that I am RETIRING! So, last chance to get a signed print of these images! Head to my site to snag one.

Faced with the world's impending freshwater scarcity, a team of researchers in Singapore turned to solar steam generators (SSGs), which are emerging as a promising device for seawater desalination. Desalination can be a costly, energy-intensive solution to water scarcity. This renewable-powered approach mimics the natural water cycle by using the sun's energy to evaporate and isolate water. However, the technology is limited by the need to fabricate complex topologies to increase the surface area necessary to achieve high water evaporation efficiency. To overcome this barrier, the team sought design inspiration from trees and harnessed the potential of 3D printing. In Applied Physics Reviews, the team presents a state-of-the-art technology for producing efficient SSGs for desalination and introduces a novel method for printing functional nanocomposites for multi-jet fusion (MJF).

Now time to make this head in blender:

And maybe modify a scions head to have a cute little rebreather:

Sun printing is great fun, no two are the same. I use these backgrounds in my sun print embroidery kits, and thought you might like to see the process. You can either have a go yourself or buy one of my kits and make yourself some art. It is easy, and suitable for beginners.
