Long time no blog.

Sorry for the major delay here guys on my part in the blogging world, but I'm coming back full force here with some recent images of books I've repaired at the HSP! Wooo!@!@!! Okay so now a quick lesson in repairing a book. This is how the books came to me.....



Sad I know, but not to fear! We can put it back together!! Yay. So first step, do any paper mending and dry cleaning to the pages. This means cleaning dirt off the paper and mending any tears in the pages themselves. Second step! Hindge and Guard all the signatures! This is putting the individual folios (folded pages) back together and attaching any loose pages so we can sew it.... which is step 3! Sew the book back together, in this case using the herringbone stitch. Woo! Okay now step 4, attach the spine and covers, and voila! You have a book again! Now just take into account this took me about 3 months work. Ha. Okay well here's the finished product!






Fun right! Okay kids until next time... which I promise will be sooner than later.

Julianna.

p.s. I forgot to mention these books belonged to the Chew Family (check the HSP blog!) and were a cricket journal, and college notebook!

Bloggin' Time

Hey All! Check out some great photos from the Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby, which took place Saturday May 17. This is the second annual derby and we couldn't have had more fun! Our team was Team SHARK ATTACK!!!!! The drivers were Brian Westenhiser and Jen Gin. Our shark attack victims were Chris Beegle, Leah Mackin, and yours truly Julianna Lose. Not picture but sorely missed were our other team members Mike Ryan, and bike fixer extraordinaire Adam Jordan. To learn more about the Derby click here!!!

Now for the photos....

Nerdy post part II.

Here's just a little quip on everyone's favorite compare and contrast tool, the Venn Diagram. I'm not exactly sure why, but I felt compelled to research this great tool. Actually it's probably the best invention ever and opens the gates to the most hilarious of comparison's. It was invented by John Venn in 1881 to show all possible relations between mathematical and logical sets, duh. There's even a stained glass window dedicated to Mr. Venn at his alma mater, Caius College in Cambridge. Pretty cool huh? If I knew how to work in stain glass I'd probably only make venn diagrams. Oh well enough talk and check out some images, I mean really what would a good post be without awesome venn diagrams.

For some bizarre reason I felt the need today to google, and youtube Tetris. (please don't ask why, I really don't know) However, I found some really cool art different people have been doing using themselves as human Tetris. check it out....

I'm sure many of you know of the famed Moleskin journals, you may even own one (i do, love it), however have you heard of Detour? Detour (the moleskin city notebook experience) is a Moleskin project that is non profit supporting the Lettera27 group. Lettera27 is a non profit organization promoting literacy and the right to read, bring education to places it's needed. (pretty cool...)
