Last week, digital asset fund flows delivered $72 million in outflows – the second consecutive week of exits.
Speculation is that a looming Federal Reserve rate hike has cooled the digital asset market.
According to the report by CoinShares, Bitcoin saw the majority of outflows totaling $46 million last week, while short-Bitcoin also saw its largest outflows since December 2022.
Ethereum also declined in popularity, seeing outflows totaling $19 million last week, its largest week of outflows since the Merge in September 2022.
The report states that crypto volumes remain subdued for the broader market (50% less than year average) while ETP investment product volumes at US$1.7 billion for the week are 16% above the year average.
Outflows were seen across all geographies and providers, but primarily in Germany and Canada totaling $40 million and $14 million, respectively.
A small selection of altcoins apparently saw minor inflows, including Solana, Algorand, and Polygon with $0.2m $0.17m, andS$0.14m, respectively.
Blockchain equities suffered too experiencing outflows of $2.5 million last week, although YTD net flows remain positive at $27 million.


What does it mean to slip 1 Knitwise?
To slip a stitch purlwise, you insert your needle into the next stitch as if to purl, and just slide it from your left needle to your right needle. To slip a stitch knitwise, insert your needle as if to knit, and then slip that from your left needle to your right needle.
Should I slip stitches Knitwise or Purlwise?
If you slip the stitch knitwise, you twist the stitch so that it will be mounted with the left leg in front of the needle, rather than the right leg. Slipping purlwise is more common, in fact, if a knitting pattern says to slip a stitch without specifying which way, you should slip the stitch purlwise.
What does SL 1 KW mean in knitting?
Abbreviations. You’ll almost always see this abbreviated as Sl1K or Sl1 Kwise. If it doesn’t say K or Kwise, you should assume it means purlwise. Many patterns will not say anything when they mean purlwise. … Sl1K is used in many instances, but it’s often used in brioche knitting patterns.
What is the purpose of a slip stitch in knitting?
Patterns usually call for a slip stitch in the first or last stitch of the row. This is to create an even edge on the finished garment. These are often found on stockinette or similar edges. Creating a pretty edge is especially important for items like scarves and knit lace.
Do you slip first and last stitch?
On the purl side, or wrong side, follow the same steps: slip the first stitch without knitting or purling, purl the rest of the stitches except for the last one, knit the last stitch.
What does S mean in a knitting pattern?
aka s slip a stitch. If they don’t specify, slip the stitch purl-wise….Unless you are decreasing: then, slip it knit-wise on the knit rows, and purl-wise on the purl rows.
How do I keep the edges of my knitting from curling?
The most well known method to prevent curling is by blocking. How do you do that? When you’re finished knitting your project and you’ve bound off your stitches, put your garment into tepid water with a bit of pH neutral soap. Let the wool soak for about 30 minutes, but don’t rub!

Did you try to bridge? Therefore I don’t believe that this is caused by firewall. So to make it simple, if your kernel receives a packet from the tun interface or any interface, for that matter whose destination IP address matches the IP address of the tun interface, contains a TCP segment with destination port 80, but there’s no process “owning” TCP port 80 in the system, then yes, the packet is dropped, and depending on the type of packet, the kernel may send back a TCP RST, or an ICMP error message. You must make sure you have TCP access from “a” to “b” on the port used by simpletun by default, can be changed with -p. Nut, when I create tap0 and tap1, then create bridge br0 and br1.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Difficult to tell without seeing the real thing, but in my experience, ethernet frames you read from the tap interface do not have a preamble, if by that you mean the “” etc. The interesting thing is that when I typed “ifconfig -a” tap2 RX packets was incremented when the ping is isssued.
At first I assumed this strange behavior could be explained by iptables handling tun interfaces in tun/tzp strange way, but from your explanations that is not case. From what I can understand, it looks like your issues are at the application level, not at the newtork level.
Each read returns a full packet or frame if using tap mode ; similarly, if we were to write, we would have to write an entire IP packet or ethernet frame in tap mode for each write. This will try to boot the nethead uml before the uml-switch is started.
You want that the kernel only send the traffic you’re interested in to the tap interface. I use now a line with: It seems that behavior was changed between 2. It may be better for somebody who is more experienced in using vde2 to update this page and show how to get more virtualization programs to attach to the same network.
Tun/Tap interface tutorial « \1
The module seems to exist, as there is a tun. And on the second computer: But as usual, it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve.
It also contains a link to a diagram which shows the big picture of iptables packet processing: The connections marked with can be direct port-to-port ethernet cables machineleft’s eth0 to NS3’s eth0 and machineright’s eth0 to NS3’s eth1or there can tyn/tap a switch in between.
Thursday, 27 December ARA: In order to simulate some network artefacts between the client and the server, i will use “Network Simulator NS3”.
I already expected that to happen because of the nature of UDP. I’m not running much more than the standard, plus dhcp3-server, bind9 and some extra stuff like xemacs, rsync, slay, etc.
If you want the kernel to send a frame with a MAC of This is the default setup with rootstrap. In your testcase, if you had eth5 instead of the tun tjn/tap, nothing would change.
I want to forward whatever ethernet frames comes to eth0 to tap0 and eth1 to tap1. In any case, no non-root user is allowed to configure the interface ie, assign an IP address and bring it upbut this is true of any regular interface too.
But when the data is in the program’s buffer it could be changed somehow before being transmitted, for example it could be encrypted and similarly decrypted at the other end. The dst IP of the packages is The program can start using the interface right away probably configuring it with at least an IP address beforeand, when it’s done, terminate and destroy the interface.
Even if the destination address is the local machine, the packets get lost.
I found an alternate way of activating the tun module via insmod. April 22, at July 15, at Note that depending on the routing setup it’s quite likely that this error message will go out the same tun interface from which it came in, and your program that is connected to the tun file descriptor should be prepared to catch tnu/tap packets.
We’ll come back to this below. By the way, In ifconfig, the counter of drop and error are all 0. What happens if there is a rule to drop all from eth1, will it reach the tun after all the real interface is down?


This paper compiles the experiences of Model Predictive Control (MPC) application in an Amine System in HyCO plant at an Air Liquide Plant producing hydrogen and carbon monoxide. In addition, we also compare the MPC solution to another control strategy already in place for the same amine system in a different plant.
An amine system which is used for CO2 removal typically contains an absorber for removing CO2 and a stripper to reclaim the solvent to send it back to the absorber. In an amine system, there can be many variations of its behavior from control point of view due to design variations. Often this kind variations is a hard to avoid reality due to the fact that the HyCO plants owned by different organizations undergo many mergers and acquisitions. In general, amine solution is highly corrosive in nature (Dupart et al, 1993) and the problem location can vary significantly from one plant to another and often this problem builds up slowly and at some point suddenly creeps into a serious problem. Some of the examples include, formation of iron carbonates plugging the heat exchanges, corrosion in the recirculation pump impellers, and collapse of the packing due to its mechanical damage, etc. Often, the consequences of equipment corrosion by the amine solvent at high operating temperatures can lead to equipment damages causing high priced maintenance requirement and unexpected plant shutdowns involving production losses. In some design cases, the corrosion losses may be less, but, energy optimization may be critical.
In this paper, the problem that we address for an amine system involves improving the life time of the column packing, improving the column stability, and reducing the operating cost. Although the specified life time of the column packing is 10 years, due to the corrosion problem, the packings were replaced in less than 5 years. In addition to the damage to the packings, the consequences of high corrosion are the formation and deposition of iron carbonates in the amine solution heat exchanges which has many consequential issues to the operation.
The first phase of the control problem involves deciding the appropriate manipulated variables (MVs), constrained or controlled variables (CVs), and disturbance variables (DVs). In the current case, two of the most obvious manipulated variables are amine recirculation rate and the stripping temperature. However, the stripper temperature is a vague definition from control point of view as there are many temperature sensors in the stripper and selection of the right temperature is not a straightforward task. In this paper, we discuss various choices and the issues involved with it.
As the main objective of the amine system is to separate CO2 from the product gas, its concentration in the product gas at the outlet from the system is the key controlled variable. As differential pressures across the column in various locations are key indications of column performance, many differential pressures are also included as CVs. The key disturbance variables would be the total CO¬2 entering the system and the nature of the amine solution itself.
When compared to the MVMPC solution discussed in this paper, another possible control solution is to conduct multiple experiments on the system to model the mass transfer effects to determine optimal operating parameters such as optimal temperature set points, optimal recirculation flow, etc. These parameters have to be determined for various plant loads and operating conditions and the most important requirement is to operate the plant without much modification to the design conditions. This in fact was the case in one of our plants; however, the issue here is the portability. The implementation can typically extend for more time and require more resources and it may not be suitable to all types of plants. In this paper, this comparison is done in more detail and explained.
As one of our plant has been running with the new MVMP control for a year, the experiences from maintenance point of view is also brought forth. This information particularly is aimed to bring out the need for minor maintenance in MVMPC no matter how good they are at the end of first installation.
In order to quantify the original state of corrosion and to measure the improvements, chromium concentration was used as a indicative measure. After the implementation of the new controller, the concentration of chromium has stabilized dramatically and these results will also be discussed in this paper.

Billings began the March 28 edition of his Brighteon.TV program by advising good patriots to be careful and hold elected officials accountable, including the ones who claim to be on their side. He then introduced Snider, who gave a brilliant testimony before the Kansas Senate. Billings then asked Snider, a native of the Sunflower State, about what he and his fellow patriots are doing about the issues in their home.
In response, Snider said he and his fellow patriots are challenging House Bill (HB) 2086. The 54-page omnibus election bill was passed in the Kansas House of Representatives in a 122-0 vote. According to the election activist, HB 2086 is a "cover-up bill" aiming to hide the maladministration of the state's elections by the office of the Kansas State Secretary Scott Schwab. (Related: Michigan judge rules secretary of state VIOLATED STATE LAW when she issued new rules regarding absentee balloting.)
Snider further blasted the bill as "convoluted, complex and impossible to understand," especially if a person does not have the slightest bit of understanding about how the election process works. The proposal was far from a "clean-up" bill that sought to fix some issues in the election system; instead it was one that would actually change the system completely.
Aside from this, he also told Billings about the change from auditing physical paper ballots to digital images of them – which runs contrary to a Kansas statute calling for the use of actual paper ballots to conduct post-election audits. Schwab authorizing the county clerk to use digital images or photocopies for audit purposes directly violated this rule, Snider pointed out.
For his part, Billings said he has a simple litmus test to identify if a candidate or incumbent official is a RINO – they are indeed one if they do not support full forensic audits of every election. The host of "The Right Side" stressed that Americans must get to the bottom of the election instability and the election fraud in the country because that is where it all begins.
He also noted that the RINO problem in America is much worse than the communist-socialist party, because the RINOs conceal their actual intent. Billings continued: "They don't often reveal that until they're trying to put forth legislation, rules and regulations upon us that are not conservative by nature."
Given the passing of HB 2086, "The Right Side" host pointed out that Kansas state lawmakers are "clearly not America First – and in this case, not Kansas First."
Billings ultimately reiterated: "We need to get back to paper ballots. This electronic manipulation of data has got to be stopped."
Snider himself agreed with the sentiment. In relation to this, he recounted how the county commissioner race in Kansas' Cherokee County was flipped – with the wrong person winning thanks to electronic votes. A hand count of the paper ballots was done, Snider continued, and the actual winner was eventually proclaimed.


United Kingdowm Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has rejected a call to apologize and offer reparatory justice for victims of UK’s slave trade and colonialism.
In her question to the prime minister during a session at the House of Commons on Tuesday, the opposition Labour Party’s MP Bell Riberio-Addy said the premier should extend an apology for the victims of British colonialism.
Sunak said the focus should now be on “understanding our history in all its parts” and having an “inclusive and tolerant” society. He added that “trying to unpick our history” is not something the government will “focus its energy on.”
Riberio-Andy responded: “But coming to terms with the past is the only way we can move forward.”
The question to the prime minister came days after descendants of some British slave owners launched an activist group, calling on the UK government to extend an official apology for slavery and launch a reparative justice program in recognition of the “ongoing consequences of this crime against humanity.”
The Heirs of Slavery movement has urged the British government to acknowledge its role in the abuse and transportation of 3.1 million enslaved Africans across the Atlantic.
“It is a history that we have all examined and acknowledged publicly. There are wrongs in today’s world that derive from the exploitation of African people and their descendants by Britain and other former colonial powers. We believe it’s important to acknowledge this crime against humanity and address its ongoing consequences,” the group said on Monday.
The movement is seeking “apology, dialogue, reconciliation and reparative justice” whilst encouraging others who have similarly examined their family history to consider how personal charitable donations can help the futures of people in the Caribbean and Britain.

Malheur County’s economic development director late Wednesday issued a three-page statement responding to an investigative report by the Malheur Enterprise.
Greg Smith, a state legislator who runs a private economic development firm, explained expenses and processes involved in developing the Treasure Valley Reload Center.
“Every dollar spent towards approval of the facility is accounted for and forwarded to the county,” Smith wrote. “The reload center is within months of the fun part.”
DOCUMENT: Greg Smith statement
Smith cited as “incorrect” the Enterprise’s report that $534,000 had been spent so far planning for the Nyssa shipping center. He didn’t release a different figure, however, and didn’t disclose that he had been provided for review the Enterprise’s accounting days before publication of its report, published May 8.
Smith also said that the credit line used to finance some of the rail center work had been repaid and the balance stood at zero. County records showed that by last February, the county through its development company, Malheur County Development Corp., owed Umpqua Bank $200,000.
The statement also addressed the report that Smith’s company, Gregory Smith & Co., based in Heppner, is paid $15,000 a month by Malheur County.
“The $15,000 paid monthly ($9,000 for economic development with an additional $6,000 for reload center work) by the county also hired the expertise of Greg Smith and his 26 years of industrial business development and the knowledge of a team of employees working on the county’s future.”

STATIS software hones pressure pulse pipeline unblocking
Paradigm Flow Services has developed software to effectively model pipelines for operation of its Pipe-Pulse system, which remediates pipeline blockages using pressure pulses. STATIS can build detailed models of pipelines or umbilicals, including components such as flexible risers, or down to the flowpath through an umbilical diver mateable connection. It allows Paradigm to determine the optimum amplitude pulse to be used, and calculate the generated stress within the pipeline walls. Simulating client systems, STATIS is used for optimizing setup, tracking effectiveness of operations and generating reports. Comparisons can be made between the expected (modelled) response and received response in real time. STATIS can build in a variation table to examine variations in pipe and fluid parameters. When cases are run in STATIS to animate the Pipe-Pulse effect, it can measure the pulse wave against time and also take a snapshot of the amplitude plot and pressure wave bouncing back. Ultimately, the client’s pipeline can be animated with the predicted pressure wave passing through it in slow motion or in real time, assisting in optimization and client understanding of the Pipe-Pulse system. Statis has been verified in trials and is now being used in liveprojects at Paradigm

It’s Time for a Frank Discussion
How many of you, prior to having children, approached your MP, MPP or your local councillors and school boards to discuss how your children would be brought up?
It’s time for a frank discussion on sexual ethics and morality as it relates to: child rearing and education, government-promoted sexuality, and public decency.
Did you discuss any of this with your government representative before you discussed having children with your husband or wife? Was that part of your marriage preparation class? Or, after marriage, did you snuggle down with your husband or wife, local councillor, Member of Provincial Parliament or Member of Parliament so you could have a frank discussion about how to raise the family that you and your husband or wife would like to create? In a free country, is it really the role of public officials to oversee how we raise our children?
In China, whose “basic dictatorship” our Prime Minister admires so much, did parents snuggle down with their supreme ruler prior to the implementation of the “One Child Policy”? Where but in a basic dictatorship would one expect to have the government in the “bedrooms of the nation”?
Well! I mean … other than in Canada.
Over half a century ago, PM Trudeau senior made famous the axiom, “There is no room for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” He did add the caveat, “When it becomes public it’s a different matter.”
His infamous “Omnibus Bill” changed Canadian law and challenged all things decent.
So what are some of the effects?
As mentioned last week, Canada is missing a large part of several generations. Four million Canadian babies have been killed in the interests of expediency and in the name of “choice”. If you look through our Communiqués over the years, you will see that Canada has paid a huge price for Trudeau senior’s Omnibus Bill. And that cost will continue to grow as the baby boomers retire and the Gen Xers, the Millennials, and Gen Z struggle to support our retirement through the Canada Pension Plan. Remember, the government did not invest in our own names our many years of contributions; rather, they financed the retirement of earlier generations with the contributions of the working generations that followed. The government, after dictating how much we should put aside, then chose how our CPP funds would be used. (“Thank you, Daddy state!”)
As the CPP Investment Board scrambles to catch up, Canada faces the hiccough of having retirees too numerous for the current working generation to sustain. That’s ok though; now we have Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) so we can pressure our seniors to “die with dignity”… and to save medical costs, the sooner the better!
But back to the discussion Canadians should have with all levels of government prior to having kids:
The first thing to consider is maternity benefits, parental benefits and extended parental benefits. It’s important to discuss these with the government. After all, this taxpayer expense apparently gives the government the right to make decisions for your family. On the positive side, we get all that “free” money . . . while the government oversees our life.
Also, we must consider the cost of daycare, another reason to snuggle down with your government prior to the decision to have children. After all, this is one place where politicians can buy votes! Government funded or unfunded daycare? Taxpayer dollars in government funded daycare are used to justify the government’s intrusion into the types of things your children will be taught in daycare.
What are early childhood educators (ECE) in training being taught to teach our young children? The University of Toronto has a book out to help us understand what ECEs should be teaching.
It reads: “The role of an educator is infused with the responsibility of providing a holistic, emotionally supportive environment for young children. Often, educators take on a “parenting role” giving children a foundation in morals and values through discussions with children or through modelling appropriate behaviour” (emphasis added).
It later lists in an action plan: “Use children’s literature in the early childhood classroom as a vehicle for discussion. Building Bridges offers suggestions of queer-positive stories that may incite discussion with children of all ages” (emphasis added). They forgot–of course–to include heterosexual-positive stories.
State funded daycare ensures that your children are introduced to the most modern world view . . . whether it’s your world view or not.
Of course, as your children develop, they will face increasing pressure to adopt the secular religion and sexual ethics of our government through educational programs such as Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression (SOGIE). Forgetting the natural shyness of women and girls, many government funded schools are now forcing our children to endure gender non-specific washrooms. With a complete disregard for the natural modesty and shyness of young people in their changing teenage bodies, public educators have become enforcers of a world view that makes the state the primary arbiter of sexual and moral values for our children.
In fact, they [parents and teachers] reported, the surge in primary and secondary schools implementing gender-neutral bathrooms has made girls “who are menstruating so anxious about sharing facilities with boys that some are staying at home for fear of being made to feel ‘period shame.’” Some are even “risking infections by refusing to urinate all day,” and others are coping by refusing to drink liquids while at school.
Don’t you wish that you had discussed this with your MP, MPP and local governments before you had children facing health implications for the traditional viewpoints you worked so hard to teach them?
This doesn’t take into account student organizations such as “Gay Straight Alliances,” about which you as a parent might never be informed. It doesn’t take into account that, you as parents are being stripped of your authority over your own children when it comes to discussing issues of gender identity. The government is fast moving to ban “conversion therapy,” an undefined set of approaches to helping people struggling with unwanted gender confusion.
PM Trudeau Senior’s caveat, “When it becomes public it’s a different matter,” has now become the norm. Today, public discussions of sexuality are very hard to avoid. Businesses feel compelled to affirm sexual diversity. Municipal governments, politicians and everyday Canadians are shamed into approving public parades featuring people baring their private parts. Acts that used to be confined to the bedrooms of the nation have now taken over the streets. And to our shame, we have allowed it!
It’s time for public decency to be recovered. It’s time for us to reclaim our heritage, which includes and honours a sense of modesty. It’s time to put sexuality back into the bedrooms of married couples where it belongs and leave our schools to teach academics. Our public streets, upon which we all rely for getting to work and school, should be places where decency and respect are the norm. It’s time for the moral values of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada to be restored. Join CHP Canada today!

12 or 20 (second series) questions with Michael Ruby
1 - How did your first book change your life? How does your most recent work compare to your previous? How does it feel different?
My first book, At an Intersection (Alef Books, 2002), was published when I was relatively old, in my 40s. Before that, I wrote many books’ worth of poetry, but I never thought about publishing a book. I didn't even start trying to publish a book until I was 38. I was happy with what I had written, but I didn’t feel that it had to be published. After my first book, I guess I became addicted to publishing and wanted to get my work out there (though most of that earlier poetry has never been published).
My recent books, American Songbook (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2013) and Close Your Eyes (Dusie, 2013), feel very much of a piece with what I've been doing since the early 1990s. Close Your Eyes is a sequel to Memories, Dreams and Inner Voices (Station Hill Press, 2012), which was written from 1991 to 2005. American Songbook, which was written from 1999 to 2013, uses the same compositional procedure as most poems in Window on the City (BlazeVOX [books], 2007), written from 1995 to 1997, and Compulsive Words (BlazeVOX, 2010), written from 1999 to 2007.
2 - How did you come to poetry first, as opposed to, say, fiction or non-fiction?
When I started writing as a teenager, poems are what came out. I wanted to be a novelist, but poems are what came out.
3 - How long does it take to start any particular writing project? Does your writing initially come quickly, or is it a slow process? Do first drafts appear looking close to their final shape, or does your work come out of copious notes?
For many of my poems, I create careful sketches and then compose the poems using the sketches. I often spend far more time creating the sketch than composing the poem from the sketch. Sometimes, I compose totally different poems from the same sketch and choose the one I like most. The compositions usually are similar to the final poems, but shorter, because I cut anything I don’t like.
In general, I've always been in the habit of doing most of my new composition during the summer, preferably sitting outside at a park, or in farm country, or on a rocky coast. For the past 15 years, I've also been in the habit of writing many books at the same time. In the first decade of the millennium, for example, I would break up the summer into parts and devote, say, three weeks to American Songbook, three weeks to its offshoot, The Star-Spangled Banner, three weeks to Compulsive Words, two weeks to the unpublished From the Mouth of the Bay, and whenever I was worn out but had mental energy, I would dictate into a recorder poems for Inner Voices Heard Before Sleep or Close Your Eyes or the unpublished Visions.
4 - Where does a poem usually begin for you? Are you an author of short pieces that end up combining into a larger project, or are you working on a "book" from the very beginning?
A poem begins for me in an infinite number of places. As for books, I most often write a group of poems and then realize that they could become a book. That’s what happened with The Edge of the Underworld, Window on the City, Compulsive Words, The Star-Spangled Banner, American Songbook; the unpublished From the Mouth of the Bay and Trance Position; and the unfinished Sounds of Summer in the Country and Dreams of the 2000s. That’s one model. Another model is writing a book without realizing it. For years, I wrote down memories on worksheets at work and they became a book, Fleeting Memories. I wrote down dreams in the morning and they became a book, Dreams of the 1990s. With several other books, such as Inner Voices Heard Before Sleep and Close Your Eyes, I decided to write a book from the start, but about psychic phenomena that had interested me for a long time.
A Glimpse into our Alien World: Susan Lewis and This Visit
Astonishment. Astonishment and an extensive exploration of language through the masterful use of rhyme and alliteration makes Susan Lewis’ eighth poetry collection This Visit both a tremendously enjoyable and challenging book to read. When her speakers demand, “Admit you would play dead. / Permit me to seed red // lest we strut and preen / & prophecy . . .” (15), the audience pays attention, if only for the beautiful arrangement. But there is much more to this volume than music and word play. The poet’s 857 couplets provide the reader with tantalizing clues as how we interact with each other and the surrounding world.
The basic, in fact the only, unit of construction in This Visit is the couplet, appearing occasionally in variant forms. This fact raises significant questions for several reasons, not the least of which is what or whom do these constructs represent? Chromosomes? Noah’s menagerie? Lovers? Pilot/co-pilot? Mentor/protégé? Whatever the case, Lewis ensures the poems reflect two viewpoints: incisive, cogent, sometimes contradictory, and always worth hearing.

Ruth Singer Bridal - eco & recycled bridal accessories
Name: Ruth Singer
Location: Leicester, Midlands
Tell us a bit about yourself and your business
I'm a designer-maker specialising in working with eco and recycled fabrics. I mainly create bespoke fabrics for interiors, but also run a small bridal accessories business because I enjoy it so much.
I have been sewing since childhood and have always loved making clothes, bags, scarves, cushions and corsages for myself and my friends. In 2005 I decided to set up in business designing and making for a living, after several years of working in museums. And I am having a great time!
I have exhibited all over the UK including at some very prestigious shows. My work has also been shown in New York Design Week in 2007 and I have had my work published in several national newspapers and magazines including the Guardian and Elle Decoration.
I have recently finished writing my first book, 'Sew It Up: a modern manual of practical and decorative sewing techniques' which is out in October. My second is in progress now and is all about sewing in a more green way by recycling and using organic fabrics without sacrificing style.
What or who inspires you?
Since I was tiny I have loved clothes, visiting costume museums with my nose pressed up to the glass admiring 18th and 19th century dresses.
I was lucky enough to work in museums for several years and did a lot of independent study of textile history and now my work is almost entirely inspired by old sewing techniques and the work of early couture designers which I have studied, tweaked and developed into my own style.
What do you enjoy most about running your business?
Sewing all day listening to Radio 4 is about perfect for me!
I love designing and making new things all the time, so bespoke bridalwear and accessories is a lot of fun to do.
What is the most challenging aspect of your work?
Doing anything other than just designing and sewing all day! There is so much more to a designer's work than just designing and it really gets in the way. I don't much enjoy marketing, particularly PR work - it's hard to sell yourself all the time!
How do you see the wedding industry changing over the next five years (if at all)?
I think the ethical weddings market is growing, which is fantastic to see. I also think, and indeed hope, that there will be a growing interest in recycling wedding clothes and customising vintage and second hand dresses. It can be a very wasteful industry - as you all know! - so anything I can do to stop the waste by giving an old frock a new lease of life is a good thing!

Lake Clark National Park & Preserve begirds a total area of more than 4 million acres (the park is about 2.6 million acres while the preserve is about 1.4 million acres) in several boroughs including Kenai Peninsula Borough, Lake and Peninsula Borough, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and the Bethel Census Area, all in Alaska.
The closest city to this park and preserve is the city of Anchorage, which is Alaska’s largest city, that is located in the south-central part of the state, on the Cook Inlet. You can get to the park using an airplane or boat because the park is not on the road system. Fixed-wing aircraft can land on all suitable gravel bars, beaches, rivers, lakes, and on open ground within the preserve or the park unless advised otherwise.
The park and preserve protects a lot of geological diversity including granite spires, jagged peaks, and two symmetrical active volcanoes. There are also more than 20 glacial carved lakes including Lake Clark, that is over 40 miles long, and has the distinction of being the largest lake in the park and preserve as well as the headwaters for red salmon spawning.
All these natural resources and other park amenities provide an opportunity for Lake Clark National Park & Preserve visitors to enjoy recreational activities like mountain climbing, camping, hiking, rafting, boating, wildlife viewing, kayaking, fishing, canoeing, hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
Visitors can also bring dogs into the Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, although there are some rules and regulations to be observed. Some of the basic rules include ensuring that you maintain immediate control of your dog at all times including keeping your pooch in a secure enclosure or on a leash that is six feet long (at most).
At the Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, make sure that you clean up after your dog and that you dispose of your dog’s poop in the right way. Respecting the wildlife and plants in the park and ensuring that you are aware of the areas of the park that you should avoid when you are with your dog.

Imagine you’ve started a business. The budget is tight. All of your money is going into your storefront. Renovations, bills, and of course, you need business cards., signage…advertising… You have to get your name out there!
You’re in a hurry to open your business, and to start making some sales. Oh, shoot. You realize you need a logo. You think, “Can I just use Helvetica?” Nah, that wouldn’t stand out. You decide you’d like something a little bit more…maybe an icon with bright, bold colours so that you’ll stand out from everyone else.
Where can you get a nice logo for a really low price? Crowdsourcing!
You google crowdsourcing websites and see all kinds of beautiful designs. You’ve found a few images that could work well. Using the filters online, you’ve typed in your business name and BOOM. YOU. HAVE. A. LOGO. And, it only cost you $39 US. Can’t beat that.
Next step, business cards. Oh, you know that place that your colleague used for cheap business cards? YES. You can build your business card online just by customizing a template. Once again, you find something that you like online. A nice template with some swooshes and swirls on a double-sided business card. Using their filters and tools, you add your brand new logo, type in your name, address, phone number, gmail address, webs…shoot, no website yet (that’ll be later as you have plenty of savings now! On a roll!)…but you have social media accounts. Better key in the handles for facebook and instagram, too. It looks pretty good. Now for the print options… You don’t really know what the paper thickness is, or how the finishes will turn out, but hey, everyone likes shiny. Gloss it is. You place your order, and wait for your business cards to arrive.
This branding thing is a piece of cake. Who needs designers? They’re overrated, and why spend the money when you can do everything yourself?
All is peachy.
A few weeks later, you walk into a knowledgeable design and print company (ahem…Blue Monster Creative) to order some signage for your storefront. Your grand opening is 2 weeks from now. Better get on top of things! You have a black awning so you just want your logo icon and the text placed on it. You hand the designer your business card and point out that it has your logo on it.
Here’s where the learning curve happens. As designers, we see this often. If we were to scan a logo from a business card, and scale it large enough for a sign, it would just be a big blur stuck on your storefront awning.
The designer says it’s not a problem, and we can take some measurements, then asks if you have a high res digital image, preferably vector.
Oh yes, you have the logo files! You tell the designer you’ll email them over as soon as you return to the office.
An hour later, the designer contacts you and says they can’t use the file. The file is a bitmap (pixelated) image, and they’d still prefer a vector. What is this “vector?”
There’s basically two image formats for print – pixels and vector. Photographs are built up of little tiny digital squares called pixels. Vectors are digital images made up of nodes and anchor points. As you enlarge a photo, it will lose quality as there becomes less information per pixel. Vector images retain quality and can therefore scale up almost infinitely. You always want a vector logo. .pdf, .ai, .svg, or .eps files are generally safe.
You tell the designer that’s all you have. Now what?
The designer explains that they should be able find the same, or a similar font, and can recreate your logo for you. The icon has some intricate parts so it will take a bit of time.
How much time?
The famous question: “How long will this take?” We’ve never built your exact [logo, business card, flyer…insert anything] before, so we don’t know. With our experience, we can fathom a guess to give clients a rough idea, but that’s the best we can do. (Anyone have a crystal ball?)
Here’s the kicker – If we overestimate how long something will take to create, do we lose the job to someone who underestimates? Maybe someone else will rush through and do a really poor job. If we underestimate, do clients hold us to our estimate (Note: An estimate is not a quote)? Usually.
The best thing to do – and what I strongly recommend to any client – is to trust an experienced designer. At Blue Monster Creative, we have decades worth of design, print, and web industry experience. You’re going to get the most thorough quality. It’s best not to rush a designer as they’ll either have to take shortcuts and hand over something they’re not happy with OR they’ll spend a few extra hours and feel taken advantage of – working for free. If you choose our designers, understand that we want the absolute BEST for your business. (Most professional designers do). That’s always our goal.
Trust is huge in any relationship – even business relationships. We have many clients that we enjoy working with, and we can see their businesses flourish, and even win branding awards. They trust us, and we enjoy helping our clients.
You’re fine with the time and cost needed to recreate the logo. It needs to be done, and you want it done right (that’s why you went to Blue Monster Creative, of course).
You’ve just learned one potential issue with crowdsourcing – file types.
You have your sign installed and everything looks fantastic! Business is going well.
A customer arrives and tells you a really funny story. He was just in a business yesterday in a neighbouring city, and get this – they have the same logo as you! But, your store looks much nicer (that helps to lesson the blow). So, you check out this store. Yep, same logo. They carry different items… but won’t people get confused? What if the other company has a bad reputation? You creep through their social media accounts. It looks like they’ve been established for a few years. You stop to read the reviews. 1 star…a couple 4 stars…but mainly 1 and 2 star reviews.
The other business is only an hour drive away. If they see my logo elsewhere, they’ll relate it to my company. This can’t be good.
You’ve just learned the second potential issue with crowdsourcing – impressions are invaluable.
You head home for the day. Over the last 6 months, you’ve put a lot of time, and money into your business. You’ve purchased a logo, business cards, signage, updated your social media accounts…maybe you have a website, or stickers with your logo on in-store items, maybe postcards circulated with some promotional items. You started a business and the long-term goal is to expand. How can you possibly expand, when buddy in the other city could be ruining your reputation?
You could rebrand. That would cost hundreds, if not thousands!
You’ve just learned the third potential issue with crowdsourcing – rebranding is costly.
We can’t stress enough the importance of good branding. If you want to put time and money into a new business, with a long-term goal, please make the initial investment upfront. Your logo is one of THE most important decisions you will make. Choose wisely. Make it clever, make it unique – and if you can’t design your logo, choose a designer who knows what they’re doing.
Be CLEAR about what you envision. Don’t say you don’t know what you want (Please. lol). You know. You know what you don’t like, and what you like. You know what your company is about. You know its purpose, the target market, and the impression you want to give. Give the designers inspiration – a sketch, other logos that you like the appearance of, a few fonts you like…give them something.

Let the countdown begin…
Ah, the excitement and beauty of the Holidays! Every day more and more decorations go up. There are beautifully sparkling lights on the houses, both inside and out. And the look of wonder and amazement in our children’s faces is something to be cherished forever.
Once December 1st rolls around I love to be able help heighten that anticipation by creating DIY Countdown Calendars for my kids. And since I know that I always inevitably feel sadness wash over me once Christmas Day has come and gone, I decided to extend the celebration and joy of the Season with a New Year Countdown Calendar in addition to our usual Christmas one.
DIY New Year Countdown Calendar
- Dark green felt fabric – approx. 80” (I used 2 of these 36”x36” pieces of green felt)
- Brown felt fabric – (1- 9″X12″ piece)
- Assorted colors felt fabric (You can buy these by the sheet at your local craft store or in a multipack like this)
- Assorted colors of glitter glue – (This glitter glue from Elmer’s is great)
- Poster Board – 2
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks (We love this dual temperature glue gun)
This will make one DIY New Year Countdown Calendar, which is perfect for those who either do not celebrate Christmas or want to keep the excitement of the season going right through until the New Year; and also one BONUS DIY Christmas Tree Countdown Calendar for your traditional December countdown to Christmas.
You can choose to create one of these calendars, two of one style, or even both of them and run them simultaneously! Having two calendars is also going to be particularly helpful if you have two children in the house so that they each have their own countdown calendar.
Another bonus – there is no unhealthy candy or small invaluable trinkets involved as is with more current countdown calendars! Score for the parents!
New Years Countdown Wreath Instructions:
1. Using a pencil, draw the outline of your wreath on a poster board (I used a large circular serving tray to help me draw a circle). Cut the wreath out. Lay the cut out wreath on top of a large piece of the dark green felt fabric. Cut around the shape of the wreath, leaving about 1” of extra fabric all the way around the wreath.
* You will need to make small cuts all around the circle of fabric so that you can fold the fabric back to be glued in the next step (see photo).
2. Fold the fabric back, all the way around the wreath shape, using scotch tape to temporarily hold it in place. Use your hot glue gun to glue the fabric to the back of the wreath cutout, removing the tape as you go along.
3. Once the fabric is glued into place, cut out another smaller circle, which you will glue onto the back of the wreath to cover the back and add a finished look to it.
See ornament instructions at bottom of post.
Christmas Tree Countdown Instructions:
1. Using a pencil, draw the outline of your tree on a poster board, using as much of the board as possible. Cut the tree out. Lay the cut out tree on top of a large piece of the dark green felt fabric. Cut around the shape of the tree, leaving about 1” of extra fabric all the way around the tree. *You will need to make a diagonal cut in towards each inside “tree branch”, to be able to fold the fabric around the back of the poster board, where you will glue it.
2. Fold the fabric back, all the way around the tree shape, using scotch tape to hold it in place. Use your hot glue gun to glue the fabric all the way around, to the back of the tree shape, removing the tape as you go along.
3. To give the back a more “finished look”, use your extra dark green felt fabric to cover the back of the tree over the 1” fabric fold-back (cutting it to the shape of the tree). Hot glue the back fabric in place.
4.Turn the tree over to the front. Take your brown felt fabric, and attach it to the trunk of the tree, using scotch tape to hold it in place. Hot glue this fabric in place, removing the tape as you go along.
5. Once the fabric is glued into place, use your extra fabric to cover the back of the tree, gluing it into place to cover the back and add a finished look to it.
1. Cut out various ornament shapes from your colored felt fabric pieces. Make them personal and a reflection of yourself and your family and kids!
For more difficult ornaments (such as the gingerbread men, and the stars) I drew the shape onto an extra piece of poster board and used that cutout as my guide for the fabric.
2. Once you have all your ornaments cut out you will use your glitter glue to mark each of them with a number corresponding with the days in your countdown calendar. For the Christmas calendar, I cut out a larger star, numbered it 25, and this will be placed on the top of the tree on Christmas morning.
For the New Year countdown calendar, I cut out a larger bow, numbered it 31, and this will be placed on the wreath on New Years Eve. Use the glitter glue to further decorate each ornament to your liking, making them cute and sparkly!
Using your calendar:
On December 1st, start the fun by mounting your countdown calendar to your wall (using your preferred method of attachment). Now start adding the corresponding day number onto your wreath and / or tree. The felt ornaments will stick to the felt background. That is my kids favorite part because they can keep moving the ornaments around (and they do…every day…and every night).
As the days go by, your countdown calendar will be overrun with cute, sparkly ornaments adding to the excitement for the upcoming celebrations of the New Year and / or Christmas.

There are a few things you can do to help your dog stay safe while walking on slick floors. You can start by using a non-skid mat or rug so your dog has something to grip onto. You can also use a water or food bowl with a rubber bottom to help keep your dog from slipping. If your dog does start to slip, try calling them to you so they can walk over to you instead of trying to walk on their own.
How To Keep Dog From Slipping On Floor
There are a few things you can do to help keep your dog from slipping on the floor. One is to make sure you keep your floors clean and dry. You can also use a rug or mat near entrances and exits to help keep your dog from slipping. Additionally, you can use slip-resistant tape or pads to help keep your dog from slipping.
-Non-slip dog boots -A spray bottle of water -A towel or rug -Carpet cleaner -Vacuum cleaner
- Clean floor regularly to remove any residue or dirt that could cause your dog to slip

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Does My Dog Slip On Hardwood Floors?
There are a few reasons why dogs might slip on hardwood floors. One possibility is that the dog’s paws are wet or muddy, and the slick surface of the hardwood floor makes it difficult for them to get a grip. Another possibility is that the dog is slipping because of a lack of traction caused by a condition like flat-pad syndrome. In some cases, dogs might also slip on hardwood floors because of problems with their vision or balance.
Does Paw Wax Help With Slipping?
Paw wax does not help with slipping, but it can help protect your dog’s paws from the cold, salt, and other harsh chemicals they may come in contact with during the winter.
Does Mushers Secret Help Dogs From Slipping?
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that mushers secret helps dogs from slipping. However, some pet owners and mushers swear by the product and say that it does help keep their dogs from slipping on ice and snow. The ingredients in mushers secret are all natural, so it is possible that the product does provide some level of slip prevention.
Why Has My Dog Started Slipping On The Floor?
There could be a few reasons why your dog has suddenly started slipping on the floor. One possibility is that your dog’s paws have become wet and slippery from spilled water or grease. Another possibility is that your floor has become slick from a recent cleaning product or waxing. Finally, your dog’s paw pads may have become rough and cracked, making it difficult for them to grip the floor. If you’re unsure what is causing your dog to slip, it’s best to consult with your veterinarian.
Why Does My Dog Slip On The Hardwood Floor?
There are a few reasons why a dog might slip on a hardwood floor. One possibility is that the dog’s paws are wet or oily, which can make the floor slick. Additionally, dogs might slip if they have recently been bathed and their paws are still wet. Hardwood floors can also be slippery if they are newly polished or waxed.
What Is Paw Wax For?
Paw wax is a product that is used to protect the paws of dogs from harsh weather conditions. It helps to keep them hydrated and can also help to prevent them from getting snowballs between their toes.
Is It Normal For Dog To Slip?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question as it depends on the individual dog. Some dogs are more prone to slipping than others, and certain surfaces may be more slippery for dogs than others. In general, if your dog is slipping frequently, it may be a sign that he needs more exercise or that his environment is too slippery for him.
Why Is My Dog Suddenly Slipping On The Floor?
There could be a number of reasons why your dog is suddenly slipping on the floor. One possibility is that your dog’s paws are getting wet and the floor is becoming slick. If you have a tile floor, this may be because it becomes very slick when it gets wet. Another possibility is that your dog might be walking on a substance like oil or grease that has spilled on the floor. If this is the case, you will need to clean up the spill so your dog doesn’t slip anymore.
What To Put On Dogs Feet To Prevent Slipping?
There are a variety of commercial products that can be put on dogs’ feet to help them stay grip on slick surfaces. Products like Musher’s Secret, which is a wax-based product, or Burt’s Bees Paw Wax, which is made with beeswax and coconut oil, work to create a barrier between the dog’s paws and the slippery surface.
There are a few ways to keep your dog from slipping on the floor. One way is to place a rug or mat down on the floor. You can also use non-skid tape or a non-skid rug pad to help keep your dog from slipping.

Marina and the Diamonds star Marina Diamandis has criticised Azealia Banks.
The 27-year-old singer posted on Twitter yesterday (May 10) that all of Banks's personality went into the social networking site.
She tweeted: "All your personality goes on Twitter. IRL you have nothing left to give."
Though the tweet did not include any names, Banks was quick to respond to Diamandis's message. She wrote: "Lol I see this one thirsty singer from the UK sub-tweet about me all the time.
"She better shut up before I steal her look & sound."
She continued: "B*tches think they're clever and rude, but trust me, I'm ruder.
"I can't stand a scared b*tch."
This is not the first time 21-year-old Banks has hit out at other celebrities on Twitter. In March, she openly wished death and excrement on the Stone Roses and has directed homophobic slurs at blogger Perez Hilton.
She has also released a diss track in response to rapper Angel Haze.

|PROF. JOEL HOFFMAN||KOMPOZICIJA||19.7.-30.7.2016.|
The daily group meetings consist of the following:
(1) Composition Practicum: Writing for the Milna Ensemble
This is the main part of the course, in which students will have composed complete pieces in advance of the course for either the entire ensemble or some part of it. The pieces will be rehearsed and evaluated in depth in a group setting by Professor Hoffman as well as by other professors in residence in terms of compositional craft and idiomatic writing for the ensemble. There will be ample time for revision and refinement of the compositions, which will then be performed by the ensemble in the final concerts on 29 and 30 July in Milna.
(2) Improvisation Workshop
Several sessions will be devoted to principles of improvisation, which will be demonstrated and discussed by Professor Hoffman. There will be a number of group exercises and activities. This part of the composition course is also open to other music students taking part in the “UPBEAT” International Summer Music School.
What to submit?
Interested composers must send the following materials to Professor Hoffman by Friday, 4 March, 2016:
1. a resume. In the resume, please make sure the following information is included:
- composition experience, including works composed with year of composition
- list of performances of your works
- universities/conservatories attended with dates of degrees earned as composer
- names of composition teachers
- performance level on your instrument (e.g. beginning, intermediate, advanced)
- list of repertoire performed on your instrument
- list of performances and any awards/competitions won
- names of instrumental/vocal teachers
2. date of birth, citizenship, mailing address, email address and phone number
3. a score of one original work for a small ensemble scored for 2-15 separate parts. A live or MIDI recording of this ensemble piece is strongly encouraged but not required.
4. a recording of two contrasting pieces you perform. The pieces may be either solos or ensemble pieces but in the case of the latter, it should be easy to individuate your playing from among the others in the ensemble (i.e. If you are a violinist, please do not submit a work for three violins!). Please make sure you include information as to the work performed, duration of pieces and when/where the recording was made. Recordings may be either audio or video.
Please submit your materials in the following way:
Participants accepted into the course will be notified by email no later than 14 March, 2016. At that point, they will also be informed of the available instrumentation available for the course, and will be asked to compose a piece for a specific combination of instruments/voice drawn from from the complete ensemble. Requests for specific instrumentation from among the performing forces available will be honored to the greatest extent possible. At that point, participants will also be asked to confirm their participation in the course by paying the application fee of 30 euros or $40 US via PayPal, sent to Professor Hoffman via email@example.com. By 31 May 2016, the course tuition of 475 euros will be due, and will be payable to the “UPBEAT” International Summer Music School. Instructions for payment of the course tuition will be available on the UPBEAT website. NOTE: Your application fee is not due UNTIL and UNLESS you are accepted into the course. There is no cost to apply to the program.
It is required that the participants’ compositions for the Milna Ensemble be completed well before the course begins so that the focus during the course can be on revising and refining. Scores and parts should be sent to Professor Hoffman viayousendit.com (or a similar service) no later than Friday, 27 May, 2016, and copies of these should be emailed directly to the new work’s performers at that time to allow sufficient time for individual preparation. It is hoped that the composers will also work on new pieces for the ensemble during the course, which can be rehearsed and discussed along with the previously completed pieces.
The principal language of the “UPBEAT” International Music Summer School is English. In addition, Professor Hoffman can accommodate students in Italian and French.

Audubon San Francisco faces another catastrophe of Nature, a Sewage spill in Richardson Bay.
Still recovering from November 7th when a cargo tanker collided with California’s Bay Bridge and released approximately 58,000 gallons of hazardous bunker fuel into the waters of the bay.
In a press release on February 2nd by the Emergency Operations Center in Marin County, an “accidental release” of 2.7 millions gallons of treated sewage and storm water was released in the bay.
“This is really the worst time and the worst place for this accident to happen, given that millions of birds are stopping here for their winter migration and finding this oily water,” said Langham.
This series of events will upset the migratory bird/eelgrass eco-system for years to come.

Marine Preserve from coastline to 90 ft. for SouthEast Florida proposal.
(credit to Sun Sentinel)The federal government is now proposing to declare an extensive protected area for the two species from the coasts of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties through the Florida Keys to the U.S. islands of the Caribbean.
Designation of the 4,931-square-mile area could affect plans for beach-widening, port expansions, sewage discharges, ship anchoring and other coastal activities. Although it is unlikely to halt them, it would add a layer of scrutiny that could force changes or relocations to avoid harming the corals, said Sarah Heberling, natural resource specialist for the National Marine Fisheries Service

Critical Habitat designation Proposed to protect threatened Florida Corals
Under the Endangered Species Act the federal government has proposed designating almost 5,000 square miles of reef area off the coasts of Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands as critical habitat for the protection of threatened Staghorn and Elkhorn corals. The area includes all coastal waters in Palm Beach County from the beach out to 90 feet deep.
Critical habitat is one of the most important safety nets for wildlife listed under the Endangered Species Act, said Miyoko Sakashita, attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.
A public hearing will be held on the proposal Tuesday, March 4, 7-9 p.m. at the International Game Fish Association, 300 Gulf Stream Way, Dania Beach.
EarthRehab’s William will attend “said” meeting and keep this thread posted of the outfalls.

IDA sets hearing that could lead to AM&A's redevelopment
In a prelude to what may be the long-awaited redevelopment of the former AM&A’s flagship store in downtown Buffalo, developer Rocco Termini has formally asked the Erie County Industrial Development Agency for an incentive package that may help finance the project.
The IDA will hold a public hearing on July 30 to consider Termini’s request, with a formal vote by the board expected in either its August or September meeting.
The hearing marks the first step in what officials hope is the road to bring the vacant downtown building back to life, ending nearly two decades of uncertainty along with several false starts.
Termini, who just completed a $42 million renovation of the former Hotel Lafayette, said he and his investment group want to spend approximately $60 million to renovate the eight-story, 350,000-square-foot building into a mixed-use facility with a combination of hotel rooms, apartments, retail and offices.
The project is expected to be fast tracked when Gov. Andrew Cuomo signs pending legislation in Albany that will increase historic tax credit benefits from a $5 million cap to a $12 million cap. Both the Assembly and Senate approved the measure.
“We’re doing this (the IDA hearing and board review) in preparation for if and when Gov. Cuomo signs the bill,” Termini said. “I’m just trying to line up all the pieces in advance of that.”
The AM&A’s building, save for a brief run as Taylor’s department store, has been vacant since The Bon-Ton Stores closed the location in March 1995. Its boarded-up state has made the building a major urban eyesore.
The building is currently owned by a Long Island investment group.

A chocolate Easter egg mould to make 150g eggs, at 130mm high. We suggest packaging this egg in clear bag SPT3668 with a support stand. It will also fit nicely into clear cartons SPT1072 or SPT1072PA, or SPT1073 or SPT1073PA, with inserts. This mould will produce two egg halves (one egg) per moulding. Decorate your eggs with anything from airbrushed coloured cocoa butters to shimmer pearlpowders. For this effect we have used gold creative powder, brushed into the mould and with the excess tapped out before moulding.
We will never share your address with anyone else & you can unsubscribe at any time.
