  • BL1804 April 2018.Psd
    Blackwork Journey Blog, April 2018 March was a very busy month catching up on all the work that had been left until we came back from Kenya and Abu Dhabi. Collating the photographs made me realise just how much we had done in a few short weeks and how many ideas are bubbling away waiting to be designed and stitched. Meeting so many new people and listening to their ideas about needlework and working with them was inspiration in itself and I was delighted when Vicky sent me some photographs of the work that the ladies had done since I left. I look forward to seeing the pieces finished and their next projects. Whilst in Kenya, I had the opportunity to visit the Masai people in one of their villages in the Masai Mara to see their craft work. I also visited the craft market in Nairobi which was full of handmade items from jewellery and beading to paintings, wooden animals and weaving. The noise, atmosphere, bustle and vibrant colours made it fascinating and in between being hassled to buy something, I spoke to a number of stall holders about the beads and their history. African Trade Beads come in many different colours, shapes and sizes and whilst modern shops sell replicas to the tourists, the old strings of beads were made of brass, bone, amber and coins, thought to have medicinal and healing powers. Each bead was designed individually, irregular in shape and were often hand painted. They were frequently used as currency or bartered and were a symbol of wealth.

It was, he told me, expensive and hard to find; but he thought that I could, for the extra outlay of a few gallons of petrol driving around yacht chandleries and camping shops, locate a roll. I actually caught myself believing him. But...what nonsense! It MUST be possible to tie off elastic shock cord. Fancy a sea school having forgotten how. So, keep your self- amalgamating tape, I thought. Back home I bought all the shock cord I needed and tried a few knots. The third knot did it. A bowline was useless in the springy stuff; a water bowline little better. The Angler’s or Perfection Loop (Ashley’s 1017) proved perfect. Quick to tie, secure in its grip, yet my fingers could pull it apart readily enough when wanted. It did not - contrary to Ashley’s experience -jam.

Pogue, Ph.D. Dean of Graduate Studies Abstract Flexible objects are a challenge to manipulate. Their motions are hard to predict, and the high number of degrees of freedom makes sensing, control, and planning difficult. Additionally, they have more complex friction and contact issues than rigid bodies, and they may stretch and compress. In this thesis, I explore two major types of flexible materials: cloth and string. For rigid bodies, one of the most basic problems in manipulation is the development of immo- bilizing grasps. The same problem exists for flexible objects.

  • Knots Often Used by Fighter Kite Makers and Flyers
    rv 4 2007 Bruce Lambert [email protected] www.fighterkitecentral.com KNOTS OFTEN USED BY FIGHTER KITE MAKERS AND FLYERS There happens to be quite a few of us who don't know much about knots. We don't know how to tie them and don't know which knot to use in a particular situation or the name of the knot. This article is meant to help us learn a little about the knots that can help us in making and adjusting our fighter kites. I posted an email on the fighter kite Topica.com email list asking for contributions about what knots are used for tying bridles, tension lines, etc. Here's the result of the request along with some on-line research I did to provide more options. If you want to know about knots, search the internet for tons of more information. DENNIS ISCHE'S BOW TENSIONER SLIP KNOT This is a great knot to use for the tensioning line on the back of the leading edge of a buka and for putting a bend in a carbon fiber spine of a diamond fighter kite. To adjust this knot, you slide the knot along the line it is tied around. It locks and securely stays in its place when there's tension on the line. To move the knot you must release some of the tension. This functions similar to a tautline hitch. TAUTLINE HITCH The tautline hitch is used by many fighter kite makers as the adjusting knot in a tension line on the back of a buka or on the carbon fiber spine of a diamond shaped fighter kite.
