for my birthday, one of the great gifts I got was a FLIP video...
this is my first try...
it's funny...
& it's NOT edited...
I had no clue what I was doing...
I can't spare the time learning it right now...
in addition to Christmas (which is also rick's BD), we're in FULL CHA mode here...
we have projects EVERYWHERE!
but I wanted to try the FLIP & see what it would do...
and since we're friends...
I thought I'd share...
don't make fun of me...
remember...
I'm old...
I ended up with this...
was I right? HILARIOUS?
the race...?
it's to get everything done for CHA!
our trip was soooo much fun.
after the holidays I'll try to do a better video with explanations of the process...
or after CHA?
just a quickie report...
we started @ the factory that makes the natural blocks of rubber into rubber that ted uses to make stamps.
it was awesome to see the whole process right from the beginning...
the big roller thing you see in the video is making the natural rubber into usable sheets...
the rubber sheet is laid over those brown boards you see...
then it's slid into the vulcanizer, which is 300 degrees & it's pressed with 50 TONS of pressure for 7 minutes...
so..."hot off the press" really means HOT off the press...
we also got to see how my books are printed...
we had no clue that it is printed 4 times, with each pass thru the machine adding another layer of color...cool!
we got to meet everyone who works for ted to make us art parts, books & stamps.
VERY FUN!!!
if you look closely...
those piles of rubber stamps are...
THE NEW ONES!!!!!
I hope I started your day with a laugh...
NOW...
it's time to...
make art!
