"Gather Ye Rosebuds"
Teableau for 09/25/25

"Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to day,
To morrow will be dying."
Robert Herrick, To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time

I made another neon doodle I have been wanting to make for awhile. A mini rasta doodle.

Blacklight is notoriously difficult (and expensive) but sorta fun when you get used to it. Of course Emerald, a usual nemesis of mine, was acting up. I shouldn't have left behind the imperfection from the emerald cracking the first time.
Long story short it isn't the kiln pumped 9 headed coil of black and colorful spikes that I wanted- but I did learn a few things. I want less green. Perhaps un-coated (transparent) emerald, or if I can find a larger diameter of emerald. I also want to use Saffron- the golden shade of yellow tubing instead of the easier to work with Sunflower. The saffron will make it more challenging, but a better warm white in the end. And bigger red sections.
I gotta make some acrylic box files. And a few more doodles.

I am showing work at two places in Brooklyn at the moment and Internet of Strings opens Saturday evening at 6pm till late. Perfect afterparty for a protest :)
Yes it costs $18/to get in, but there is a DJ and I hear free drinks too. Did I mention it's an interactive show?

https://twigs.weblink.ooo

With that link you can interact and blink my sticks sculpture from anywhere- so long as it isn't unplugged or cloudflare isn't down. You can't see it, but for my first node.js server sculpture, I don't think it's too bad. Eager to hear your thoughts though.

This stick chandelier has some neon I made while living in Texas, New Jersey and NYC in it :). The other tubes from one doodle were on TV with Elmo.

I am also in the glass n' glitter show at the Williamsburg "WAH" center that opened last Saturday.

Here is a link for the resistor show-

🇮🇹 11/04/2025 Venise by night.

La suite de la visite, dans les ruelles on trouve de nombreux drapeaux vénitiens, des commerces qui vendent des porchetta et fromages locaux, beaucoup de vitrines artistiques (sculptures en verre de Murano).

The rest of the visit, in the alleys we find many Venetian flags, shops selling porchetta and local cheeses, many artistic windows (Murano glass sculptures).

🇮🇹 11/04/2025 Murano
Dîner ce soir à Murano à "Ai Vetrai", c'est plus tranquille qu'à Venise !
Comme d'habitude, je prends uniquement des plats locaux et spécialités locales.
- Seiche à l'encre accompagnée de polenta grillée
- Spaghetti "alle vongole", aux palourdes fraîches

Spent my Easter eating a delicious Danish Kringle with Ali and then made this doodle.

I am excited, its forbidden in a few ways. One of which is the tube sizes, which are fine tuned for brightness. That big bright white 25mm tube is thin lead glass- and it would take awhile to get it as hot as the 10 mm #blacklight tube, which will be made brighter by being the narrowest, most focused part of the arc.

On a bombarder, that would suck the narrow blacklight in. It is possibly the best combination to be bombarded in terms of glass heat sensitivity- buut I have an oven, so its baking out over night so I can make this the first try guaranteed :).

Hooray for Easter! After Minneapolis, I needed a day to sleep, and I still should send some emails, but I wanted to relax, and I feel recharged, -but there is about to be so much commercial bending.

Yaaay work!

I finally made a super sour loaf! Bread 15B came from a stiff (acetic acid) starter and sat in the fridge for about a week with a bunch of time out of the fridge to age an have its delicious bacteria from just right. I added olives an pecans to it with wheat germ around the outside. The bread is flavorful enough to hold it's own against the olives!

Though I would also share some work projects- the "No 79" is going to some fancy Manhattan development and will be outside, with housings. Should look good- and with 3 bars on the ground floor of this new residential building, I may actually go see my work when it's installed an have a drink :) Big ruby numbers- it WILL be seen.
All that and the "ANCY"- a test for this new Spielberg movie was 1 days work (along with some email sending). Feels good to put in a full days work an be able to share with you all :)
