  1. We appreciate bikes that wear their experiences proudly. The road rash from that memorable corner, the fade from countless sunny rides - these imperfections add character money can't buy.
    Tag someone whose bike carries visible stories from its adventures. These marks prove authentic use.
    Do you preserve battle scars or restore to perfection? Both choices reflect different philosophies.

  2. Die kleine Kunst des Verfalls

    In Søby, dem nördlichsten Hafen der dänischen Ostseeinsel Ærø, gibt es an fast jeder Ecke Kunst. Eine Kunstschule und ihre Schülerinnen pflanzen überall in der Fähr- und Werftstadt Vergänglichkeit in die Gegend.

  7. #HotTake A second hand #3dprinter (open source variety) is worth more than a new one. I have a second hand, well aged #Ender3 and I wouldn't have change it for one straight out of factory if someone offered to swap. I got it modded, added some tiny but significant mods myself, like a kapton tape in some strategic places or a direct deivinator. It's a much better machine than a new one. It is worth more than a new one to anyone with a brain. I got it for 2/3 of the price. It's a steal. Buy used 3d printers, it's really worth it, they are immortal. Ofc I'm not talking about those closed sourced, gated bs machines. I'm talking about the good machines originating from #reprap ecosystem and project.

  8. Buying a pen that tarnishes…on purpose?

    So the big names in what I’ll the functional metal pen space – Big Idea Designs and Tactile Turn (and probably many others) offer their pens in brass, bronze and copper. The idea seems to be that while shiny and new when you get them, they age and gain a patina. Ok, we know from reading about all kinds of heirloom objects that Patina Is Good.

    When I got my first metal pen bolt action pen I chose a Tactile Turn slim bolt in titanium. They said it was their most popular, and I thought it would be nice to have something that didn’t require any polishing. It’s been a great pen, and we lived happily ever after. Well, until I got to thinking about getting a pen in a metal that develops a patina.

    I was attracted to the idea that the pen would adopt a look that was personal – meaning there would be wear marks where I hold it, or whatever. But when I saw pics online it seemed that no, the pen ultimately ends up the same color all over, and in the end you might as well have just painted it that color. Hmmm…what would be a the point of that?

    In the end I decided to just give it a try, and got a Tactile Turn slim bolt in bronze. Nice pen. I like the tight clip, and I got it 4 days ago. I looked forward to seeing how long it would take to show any signs of patina. Well, I didn’t have to wait long:

    I believe in a month it will be fully gray/brown. Not sure I see what the attraction is, but we’ll see when we get there!

  10. Normalize #anticonsumerism by saying your old electronics are covered with #patina
    Broken screen? That's patina babe.
    Out of #fashion #design? Yup. That's also patina.

    Start feeling good about your environmental choices! Patina is luxurious and is something to be proud of. It can't be faked.

    Even cheap things become luxurious when they age - they pass the survivorship bias filter. They must have been exceptional to survive, even if they were low end back then.

    Keep your stuff as long as possible. Embrace #patina and show off your old stuff with the #patina hashtag!

  11. For two pieces I'm working on two lampshades will be cut out a metal roof panel laying around here. One shade will be sanded to get a 'brushed' like finish. It won't be as uniform as factory 'brushed' so to pull it all together a clear coat will finish it of. The other shade will be white paint.

  12. #Woodcessories hat neue Hüllen der #BioLeatherSeries präsentiert: Genau wie #Echtleder entwickelt das Material, das aus Aloe-Vera-Pflanzen hergestellt wird, mit der Zeit eine individuelle #Patina. Die Produkte eignen sich daher besonders für Personen, die die Ästhetik und Haptik von #Leder mögen, aber beispielsweise durch einen veganen Lebensstil kein Echtleder verwenden möchten.

  13. Removed the ugly filler from the front wing of the Lanchester this morning. Looks a lot better for it. Dressed the worst of the dents out and splashed some black enamel on so it blends in better than it did.

  14. I’ve been working with this dot pattern as #etched texture for #jewellery. This is a #bronze #bracelet folded and unfolded to get that ridge. There’s some #patina to colour it and the edge has been thickened. The resist for #etching was PNP Blue transfer film.

  15. 2/3… #patina from age. Again, less car noise is better. Its part of the reason people #travel to these locations.

    Full body #walking through these environments (ie. with ski-style sticks) is found to be most beneficial.

    Studies have also shown that #birdSounds, when not combined with car or human sounds is restorative. And time spent in the yard helps people live longer. Children that grow up without #greenSpace are at greater risk of developmental issues.
