På Myspace skriver Frances Laura Donnelly aka Animal Magic Tricks att det finns en 9 spårs LP inspelad tillsammans med skottarna, King Creosote, som driver Fence kollektivet. Labeln fick mycket uppmärksamhet för ett par år sedan framförallt genom folk singer/songwritern James Yorkston. Om ni gillar AMT så håll utkik på Fence, verkar troligt att plattan ges ut där.

hey! so, i forgot my clarinet a@ skool and having a concert @ south coast plaza on sunday, i was in a fix. so, i got my mom to drive me to school, scaled a fence, grabbed my clarinet, and made sure i made it out without those boy scouts seeing me.

I love how this photograph elicits a certain calmness that usually follows a climax of some kind. The jagged boards of the fence with their detailed cracks, worn away paint and the foliage all make it something one could view for quite a bit of time.

day 1986
Tom leaned on the fence,
and told me how the valley
has changed through the years

Sunday, for supper, we made brussel sprouts with cheese, sunflower seeds, and and garlic, and stuffed acorn squash.  Here, for your viewing pleasure, are the sprouts, in progress.

Last week we did what so many agrarians before us have done: we bound ground.  We drew up the boundary, set out the posts and put up a fence.  I’m sure it was more to keep the veggies in than people out.  After all, you know how  onions do wander.  It was pegged with precision, placed with care, and crafted with more precision than you may think reasonable for a community garden fence; in this case however this regular rhythmic form creates a sensational function.  Taut horizontal lines have a lovely twang when plucked, and though i was unable to play ‘For Elise’ it was music to my dusty, ringing ears.

The purpose of the fence was threefold:  to keep out the diggers, the jumpers, and the climbers.  The bandicoots and rabbits can go under typical fencelines and take out an entire crop overnight.  Similarly kangaroos and wallabies will jump a fair height for tasty young greens.  Once they get in i imagine they can destroy as much as they ate again trying desperately to get out, using their seemingly poor grasp of reason.  There is only one species however that digs, jumps, and climbs and they’re certainly the most cunning.  Keeping out humans is the hardest task of all.

The humanitarian in me thinks we shouldn’t have a fence, but without one there is little point as the rabbits, bandicoots, wallabies and kangaroos do just fine with shoots, leaves and grass on the fertile vernal wetland that surrounds us.  As for the humans, i have no issue if they take the occasional or even regular piece of fruit and tomato.  But when the humans raid your entire crop the night before harvest, you know, they know, it’s wrong and unnecessary.

And so, we build a fence.  May it stand tall and strong, protecting our hard work against the opportunist mammals and marsupials alike, and may it come out of the ground easily, leaving little trace, ready for the next intrepid pioneers.

1. wind that cannot be named
picking up
and tossing
bits of wet
like spinning food processor blade

2. i see spirits
when the air
moves like this
more
living layers
illuminated

3. you are on your way
liftoff and earthlanding
steady
maybe this is all
i’ve needed to hear

4. slamming poems up against walls
my teeth along their necks
hot hands shoved into their jeans

5.  view from the nunnery
on this side of the fence
no grass to call greener
just miles of gold

6. tonight’s research:
aircraft carriers
the southern cross

7. arranging a snack plate
take two:
hummus
lettuce
olives
carrots
tortilla chips
shannon and i
crunching
work has never felt
so much like home

8. no one ever told me
i could do this
elbowdeep
in my own poems
no one ever said
the world is yours baby girl
and i am finding the language
to tell myself
and if my middle name is ambition
my first name
is intrepid

Por acaso você é daqueles que taca tudo na Desktop(Área de trabalho) e sempre perde arquivos ou odeia eles(os arquivos) não estarem organizados.Pois bem, mais uma vez vim para tentar salvar seus problemas.Pois agora você poderá arrumar seus arquivos em “mini-áreas” sem ter que colocar em pastas ou ter que tirar do Desktop. Na internet você encontra programas simples para arrumar sua desktop, desde programas que criam áreas com cores meio transparentes(vocês irão entender quando virem a imagem) até programas que separam os programas em uma pizza no centro da desktop.Bem, primeiro falarei do programa que que “cerca” os links, programas e outras coisas que deixamos em nossa desktop.Bem, o que ele faz é isto:

O Fence, programa do qual estou falando é o responsável por fazer esta arrumação no seu desktop.Bem ele é de facílima utilização e pode ser baixado aqui.

O próximo programa, o da pizza, com mencionei é um pouco “mais criativo” mas em minha humilde opinião mais confuso a olhares estranhos e não tem nenhum diferencial a mais tão extravagante do primeiro.Seu nome é Radian e ele vai deixar sua desktop assim:

Cá está a cara que terá seu desktop se você optar por esse programa. Bem para fazer download deste programa clique aqui. Em minha opinião o grande diferencial entre os dois programas é a interface, que creio que do primeiro ser mais limpa e a confiraguração, a qual é muito mais fácil no primeiro também.Mas cabe a vocês escolher um dos dois para testar e usar.Boa sorte.

NÃO ENTREM EM PÂNICO!!

Thank you for crushing on my upcycled wood display! It was super fun to make ~ which is good because a few not so subtly hints were dropped regarding Christmas presents and wanting one. To keep up the illusion that Christmas presents are supposed to be a surprise, I’m just going to say, “We’ll see. “

If you want to make one of your own, here’s how.

After Rob & Dad A ripped out our old fence, I pulled a few pieces out of the pile to save for this project.

The ends of each piece were in pretty bad shape, rotted and filled with nail holes from being attached to the cross beams.

I was able to get 2 good 24″ pieces from the middle of each board.

I started with a vision in my head and never actually drew it out. If I had, I would have been able to cut each piece to the exact measurements I needed right at the beginning. But since I was kinda making it up as I went along, all the pieces got cut to 24″.

Then I laid them all out in a mock up of what I was picturing. It basically looked like this -

{front}

{back}

To do this project, you’re going to need:

1. Wood in 3-4ish” wide pieces, such as a dilapidated fence
2. Saw {I used a combination of miter, table & band saws but you could also do the project with just a jig-saw or circular saw}
3. Wood glue
4. Pneumatic staple gun, with 1 1/4″ staples {screws or regular nails would also work fine – although I might’ve pre-drilled my fence if I’d used either of these options}
5. Soldering Iron
6. Carbon paper
7. Phrase you want burned on the wood, printed out in desired font & a pen {mine was in Century Gothic}

Because each board weathered differently, had knots in different places, some were slightly warped, varied textures & colors. Laying them all out allowed me the opportunity to rearrange things so all those differences worked harmoniously together.

I picked the board that was going to be the bottom of my frame and placed my phrase. I wanted mine to be right-justified.

No matter where you put yours, remember that the edges are going to get mitered! If you put your phrase all the way over on the board, it’ll get chopped off.

So be sure to inset your phrase at least the width of one board from the edge.

Place the carbon paper under your printed phrase & trace. {note: the Dritz Tracing paper at the top of the frame is not what I used. That’s actually for fabric. We just store the carbon & tracing paper in the same packet.}

This part takes some time. Check that the letters are showing up as you go. They don’t need to be super dark but you do have to be able to see them.

Then it’s time to make some sawdust. Start by mitering each corner of your frame pieces. The top & bottom pieces should be exactly the same length, as should the right & left pieces.

To do this, I cut the first one {just eyeballed it}. Then laid it on top of the 2nd piece and lined it all up on the miter saw.

Move the top piece out of the way and make your cut.

All four corners should fit nicely together if you did it right.

Cut 2 extra mitered pieces the same exact size as the right & left sides.

When you’re done mitering, you should have 6 pieces each with 2 mitered ends – 2 for the top & bottom of your frame, 2 for the right & left sides of your frame, and 2 extra that are the same size as your right & left sides.

Now comes for the mildly tricky part. See those top & bottom pieces on the back of the frame?

See how the pieces are notched in on the outer edges? Do that by making a miter cut about 1/3 of the way through the board. Then go back and make a straight cut up to meet your diagonal cut.

Staple/nail/screw the top frame piece to the notched piece. The front side frame is initially held together by these 2 notched pieces.

{this is looking from the back side}

Then fill in the spaces with your remaining boards, lined up to the inside edge of the notched out piece.

Obviously the 24″ pieces will need to be cut down a little. Glue & staple in place.

I ended up with a little gap, as you can see in the picture.

I just sliced off the edge of an extra piece, slipped it in place and stapled.

Now to fill in those notched out edges….

WHAT’S WITH THEM ANYWAY?!

It would have been way simpler to just attach the frame to the back slats but the freshly cut edges were so… fresh.

I wanted it to look a little more professional with the back edge capped off with a mitered finishing strip.

Remember those 2 extra pieces we cut back when we were making mitered cuts? Now’s the time to grab those. We’re going to be slicing off the long sides.

One side was about 1″, the other was closer to 7/8″, so always remember to measure twice & cut once!

Glue & staple in place.

We now have a frame! Time to get to burning those letters.

I used a soldering iron. The tip was just the right shape & thickness for the font I chose {century gothic}. I practiced on a scrap piece first.

It took some practice but just take it slow.

The soldering iron will burn but not ignite the wood {as long as you keep it moving}

Time for poly! I started on the backside because I wasn’t sure how the poly would change the wood.

Turns out, the poly transformed the dry gray wood into something that looked almost stained.

Way better than I expected!

Here you can see the bottom half with the poly & the top without.

Still half poly-ed but a whole view of the front without photos.

Once your poly is dry, you’re done!

Enjoy!! Happy building!

This might just be one of my favorite pictures of the week. It’s inspiring me to do some more fence pictures. I love the rust colors and detail of the fence material against the bright, cool background of the pods in the background.

Is shooting fences a lame photo project? Probably.
