Cross Gender Leisure Activity for CSU East Bay

This is a class project for the Women and Leisure course at CSU East Bay.
Male students were to participate, with other men, in women's leisure activities and vice versa.
I took my friend Donovan, a huge tea aficionado, to an English High Tea at Webster House in Alameda, CA.

Photos!

It's been a while since I've posted the photos I've taken of our awesome crew..
So.. Here are a few ^_~

New quadtych leather mosaic abstract photos.

Howdy everybody, Merry Christmas!

Here's the pix of that greyscale quadtych I was talking about doing at Lisa's.

Once framed, I'm not sure if they'll be displayed linearly or on a square as pictured.

Any suggestions?

Happy Holidays!

Phil

Epoxy Crisis!

I don't know if anybody goes on this blog anymore, but I thought I would give it a shot and see if I get any bites.

Ok, it’s not a crisis, but I could use any help or advice about epoxy.

I have 307 pills and capsules I made out of clay and wood and I recently coated them in enamel paint. I will attach them to a canvas painted with enamel paint as well. Enamel creates a plastic-like effect once dry. The pills and capsules fit easily in the palm of one’s hand.

I know that I will need to use epoxy to attach the pills to the canvas, but when I went to the store, I didn’t know what epoxy to purchase. There are three types: instant drying epoxy, epoxy plastic, and epoxy gel (there may have been an all-purpose one too, but I can't remember since there were so many brands available). What is the difference? I want to use whatever will keep the pills on the best and not something that will snap off too easily. Any advice would really help.

Some pictures of the pills:

(I just added color to the pills today. I will remove the blue tape once they're dry.)

Thanks,

Leslie
