May was a quiet month for publications but ended with work in a new (old) medium. Early on there was an entry for the


I also had an aphorism (from a tweet) made into a poster for the awesome Signs of Affection project. "Apply, submit, try. Chance becomes opportunity" is as much about the poster itself, as it is private encouragement to each viewer. It's been postered in Leeds, and copies are in the mail for me to put up in Vancouver. Exciting!

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 16:24:00 -0700 Bracelets http://blueberrio.posterous.com/bracelets http://blueberrio.posterous.com/bracelets

Bracelets: 1. wrist cuff of white lace, khaki webbing and LED belt buckle. 2. faux sheepshin strap, silver/gold lame ribbon, black webbing and LED belt buckle.

Always looking for new contexts for my stories as well as deals on eBay, I ordered a few LED belt buckles with the idea I'd make bracelets with them. Alas, when they arrived they weren't very cooperative. They're much bigger and heavier than I expected, don't balance well on a wrist, and stretch and distort the fabric bases.

I could work with that if they didn't have a bigger problem: the primitive LED controls don't allow spaces between words. The menu permits the alphabet and a handful of special characters, that's all. I might still do something with dashes instead of spaces, but bleh. Overall it wasn't a success. Instead of wearable literature, I have non-functional art (if that).

The second piece, with the faux sheepskin, isn't quite done (lacks a fastener) and will never work out as a bracelet so I'll use it in something else instead. Not sure what yet. Experiments beget other experiments. Further research required.
