Tried cursive typography today with wire, then a bit of blackener for contrast. Legibility was lost in the scale of the letters. I’ll revisit this later, I’m sure.

Ring-A-Day: Fireproof Ring
Ice9 came up in conversation over the weekend. Now we’re all remembering at what temperature books ignite. Vonnegut and Bradbury both gone. Damn.
Goodbye Ray. Thanks for all you have given us, especially Montag.

Ring-A-Day: Bedbug Ring
I made a second bed ring when I thought about putting a bug (not a real bed bug) on the memory foam. This coccinellidae, a.k.a. “ladybug,” was in one of my plants. You can actually buy a live bag of them for your garden from Sears, Kmart, and ebay. You can check for the real bedbugs, a.k.a. Cimex lectularius, before renting a hotel room in NYC at the Bedbug Registry.

Ring-A-Day: Ed Bed Ring
Our friend, Eddie Bridges, has a fun project. He’s asking all of his friends to request Tempur-Pedic’s 8″ x 6.75″ x 1.5″ free sample to make a couch. He’s even posted the project on Tempur-Pedic’s Facebook page. Today’s ring is in honor of Eddie’s project. It’s a tiny sliver of the “memory” foam on a laser-cut wood bed and wood ring shank.

Ring-A-Day: L Note Ring
Half a C note is L in Roman numerals. Not as catchy since the piano has no L note, but I’d sure try to sing it it. Got this note yesterday for teaching a laser class at NYC Resistor. I love the projects and enthusiasm my laser students bring. This concludes MoneyGami week.
