Styrofoam Printing Plates
Our daughter has just learned to write her name and doesn't yet have the patience to write it the 20 times needed for her school valentines. So, we made a styrofoam plate of her name so she could print it repeatedly on paper hearts and it didn't take her long to get the hang of rolling ink and pressing the print all by herself.
Hand Printing Workshop
Simple, quick motifs to demonstrate potato printing, rubber block, and hand drawn screen print for a hand print workshop.
Miniature Compass Necklace
Remove the cork and pin. Fill the necklace with water and put the cork in. The metal is magnetized and should point toward the center/top of the necklace.
May she never lose her way home.
Kim and Zach at Poptech's Creative Reuse Workshop
We had the opportunity to participate in Poptech's Creative Reuse Workshop last week. First of all, we'd like to thank Poptech, Make Magazine and Ebay Green Team for helping to bring everything together. We were able to get makers of all ages together to build their own BEAM vibe robots. The turnout was fantastic and Kim and I were impressed with the creative output.
Best of Make Magazine
About a year ago, Make magazine did an article about our BEAM robots which have appeared again in their book The Best of Make which is available now at makershed.com. That's our bot in the bottom left corner of the cover. The book has 75 of their best DIY projects from their first 10 issues.
