south london makerspace signage

5.30am sunday satisfaction: south london makerspace has a sign. laser cut, glued and painted, four of us were there for the one quiet dawn of the week to actually get it up there.

the good companion site is temporary, hopefully this will advertise SLMS’s existence before it likely gets tucked away in a more industrial nook or cranny. you can see it from brockwell park, with plenty of buses passing.

there’s a nice write-up on the SLMS site: a good sign

wedding » invites

having proposed, turns out there’s actually this follow-through thing called a wedding. as the asker of the original question, it seems almost odd to do something else: thats where the life changing moment is, not just in the answer but in the decisions leading up to that moment. of course – and this is my interpretation – a wedding isn’t about you two, it’s about contextualising that within a community, making the announcement and saying this is (all/) us, from hereon in.

and so, finally, a date has been settled, venues arranged, lists made. more importantly: the first true joint project, the invites! totally happy about how they came out, and so much the better for the joint creative effort and them coming from our own hands^[1]^[2].

our hands, and the cutter: can’t deny i bought it with a thought that it could come into its own for wedding stationery). ↩︎
don’t expect it to be any cheaper though, and forget about having any weekends. cut. fold. cut. fold. cut. fold. stick. ↩︎

christmas card cutting

note to self: nomatter how early you start a project to make january engagement to christmas time wedding time cards, it will still be hit or miss whether they’re ready before christmas. final score: wedding date unconfirmed itself largely rendering the whole thing moot. grrr.

...and 10m of industrial sticker

which all adds up to being able to design and tweak in-situ, on-site. useful when curved surfaces are involved, and most welcome when on-site is in sardinia.

cnc knife blade...

turned out, it wasn’t so far off the price of getting a vinyl sticker cut as buying the just-on-the-market hobbyist cutter machine itself. having the means of production: so much better. having the means of production so compact, you can fit it with the laptop as hand luggage? crazy times. especially when in the security queue at the airport you realise its basically a knife blade surrounded by electronics… not that they did, thankfully.
