Q1: Hello. Some of us have created some very strange things over the years, what’s the strangest (for you) thing you have ever made?
A1: I’m not sure to be honest. I don’t think I’ve made anything that’s strange. Maybe I have but I think they are perfectly normal…

@MakersHour A1. Strangest make? Maybe a recent utilitarian patch, bright pink "duck tape" wrapped round the little fin antenna on our otherwise unremarkable electric hatchback sedan, to find it in parking lots among others of its style.
Otherwise most of my creations are theme and variations on needlework, appliqué, piecing, and digital collage.

Sometimes you need that marker in a big carpark, when so many cars can look similar. -
@MakersHour haha, creepy!
@Stratski
And no one would need know until afterwards! 😂 -

A1: this is a difficult one. The first thing that comes to mind was I had to make two clear backpacks that could be taken to a protest a day away. Everything we would need had to be in there, and it had to be clear to be or it would be taken away. Found some marine vinyl that was not too hard to sew and whipped them up in about four hours.
Oh, also a lot of weird props for shows like giant teapots and mushrooms, large cheese slices.

@MakersHour As a teacher, I once was about to do the the magnet-and-iron-dust-on-paper experiment with my class, but discovered too late that we didn't have a magnet! What we did have, though, was a copper coil, some rusty nails, and a battery. I put the nails inside the coil, connected the battery and got the nails *just* magnetised enough to do the experiment and show the magnetic patterns. I made a magnet.

Excellent - a double lesson - what magnets do, and how they are made!

@thegiddystitcher @MakersHour @davetansley these would be an amazing way to cover the soil of pot plants 😂
@afewbugs This sounds like the perfect gift idea for my skull-liking, plant-growing housemate; they'd love little skulls for this purpose. We already have all kinds of little random things in the plant pots... :)

@eivind
That is a very good way around it, and shows other electromagnetic principles at the same time.I noticed and photographed this in my workshop a while ago, while I was welding.

A1 oops late to the party this week. Strangest thing I've made ? I'd say some of my first attempts at blacksmithing have resulted in objects that are beat described as strange... Gotta learn somewhere...

@MakersHour Had a short term request to build a easter decoration within an afternoon.
Turned out slightly spooky...

Myself and @davetansley once spent way too much time printing and painting very tiny human skulls. They were for legitimate dice making purposes, but they were all over the house for a while there, it was pretty weird.
@thegiddystitcher @MakersHour @davetansley
Could not love this more.

Marzo è lassù nella sua nuvola
di vento e sole, di fumo e argento.

@Gargron ordering mine now! I’ll be happy to wear it whenever I’m speaking about the Fediverse at conferences 🙋🏻♀️

This is one of those mornings when I feel like doing very little. More precisely, I feel a bit more like doing the things I shouldn’t be doing, and absolutely no desire to do the things I actually should be doing.
If it didn’t look like rain, this would be the perfect moment to go out and get some fresh air. But then I’d feel guilty, because I should be at my desk doing the very things I’m not doing anyway. 😄

Nella versione originale statunitense, Eta Beta, l'extraterrestre della saga di Topolino, era ghiotto di kumquat.
La controparte italiana (Mondadori) ritenne difficile il nome per i pargoli italici, optarono quindi per la naftalina che (secondo loro) si addiceva di più ad uno venuto dallo spazio... 😂👍

@europeanspodcast Amazing!!! I can't wait to listen to this episode. @Gargron I would wear the title of "Europe's anti-Elon" as a badge of honor 🙌 Kudos!!!

@timnitGebru @DAIR truly a dream job.
I would have applied but I’m automatically disqualified for the “at least 5 hours of overlap with PST and EST” (I can only work when my child is in pre-school, aka from 3am EST to 9:30am EST - or: midnight to 6:30am PST sigh) 🥲
I hope you will find the candidate of your dreams! 🚀

@andypiper@macaw.social Happy birthday!
