I have been helping some artist friends stopping by the studio make new work. They come for a day or two with loose ideas and we work on them turning them into neon ideas.
These ones are from my friend Kels Mayo who has a new studio with three highly visible windows in Utica, NY. They wanted them to be Yes, Maybe, No windows and be made entirely of scraps to their handwriting. I suggested the blue "blockout glass" tubing to go where the connections are so you can still see them and read the words.
I am excited to see them get installed soon.I think of myself like a music recording studio. My studio time is expensive yes... But when I look at all we make, it seems to be a good value. It's really fun- I can make anything- so when Artists come with a bunch of ideas to make and a tight deadline, I enjoy making their ideas.

Why are we farting around and bailing out failed enterprises anyway. They fail because too much $$ has been taken out of them until the kitty runs out. And whose responsibility is that? Not the public that’s for sure. So why bail them out?
Instead, let’s #Nationalise the bloody paupers. With #NotForProfit status, these same #FailedEnterprises would survice and provide much needed jobs and supply independence to the Australian economy. Of course, such a move would mean the #Rats have no where to go but jump ship and look for #scraps elsewhere — good ridance. Still, it would not be a bad message to put out there: In Australia, if you cannot run a business and keep it afloat long term, well, we don’t want your investment. In turn it would provide a very reliable market for future long term investments rather than current speciulative short term pillaging exercises.
That’s my take. And all of it is feasible in a Capitalist system for any Constitutional Democracies.

Een nieuw dak. Een stapeltje van de 100 jaar oude daklatten van het oude dak gered van de container.
De oude latjes worden de basisstructuur van een werk dat al lang in m’n hart ligt te wachten.
Blij met deze vondst; het maken is begonnen :)

I have been wanting to play with these weld bends and bending my handwriting. There is an old neon tradition of "block out tubing" that was actually spliced in so that there would be no paint to chip.
I like the idea of using darker colors as the "block out" glass for all the connections. Its certainly an extra challenge, but I am liking the look.
I am gonna be bending neon at Brooklyn Glass's Hot Glass Cold Beer on Saturday. I get most of my neon tubing from there (they import from Italy) and I think this would be nice in a nice warm white and non coated cobalt blue. It took me 1, 3/4 hours to make "CHOOSE" out of scraps I had (whoops, got the whites mixed up :) )
My mom used to preach this to me when I was in high school. It changed my life... but I still sometimes feel like I can delude myself into feeling happy about a crappy situation.

How to Make Homemade Lemon Vinegar #CleaningSpray: Natural, Non-Toxic & Effective!
By Deanna Talerico updated Jan. 22nd, 2025, published Aug. 5th, 2019
"Got lemons? Hate chemicals and artificial fragrances? Try making your own non-toxic household cleaning spray solution! It only has two ingredients: lemon and vinegar. Actually, you can repurpose any type of citrus peels to make this cleaning spray. Orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit, or even a combination of a few.
Not only is this homemade lemon cleaner incredibly easy to make, it also serves the added benefit of repurposing spent citrus #scraps instead of trashing them! This is one of our favorite uses for lemon rinds, along with making homemade lemon powder. We also love to make salt preserved lemons and freeze lemon juice cubes.
On its own, white vinegar provides natural but effective antimicrobial activity. It’s also very inexpensive. However, many people find the smell of white vinegar to be far too pungent and sharp to use as a cleaner on its own. That is where the lemon (or other citrus) come in!
By infusing white vinegar with lemon peels, this cleaning spray takes on a fresh, citrusy, enjoyable scent. Furthermore, lemon has its own formidable cleaning powers too! Lemon is known to have natural anti-fungal, antibacterial, insecticidal, and deodorizing properties.
Supplies Needed
Lemon peels, or other citrus scraps – organic if possible!
White vinegar (you could also substitute with over-brewed acidic kombucha vinegar!)
A large glass jar or other container for steeping
A spray bottle
A fine-mesh strainer and/or cheesecloth
Optional: fresh aromatic, antiseptic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, sage, or mintDirections
Step 1: Gather Lemon Peels
Collect your spent lemon rinds (or other citrus peels) in a large glass container. We typically use a half-gallon mason jar, but a pitcher, a couple of smaller jars, or even a vase would work! Also, it is definitely okay to have the membranes, pith, or seeds in there as well!
Our favorite time to create this cleaning spray is right after we make a large batch of our garden “Besto Pesto” – because we use a lot of our backyard Meyer lemons in the process! If you can’t collect your rinds all at once, that is fine too. Just keep the container of rinds in the refrigerator and add to it as you generate more.
If it is going to take you more than a week to build a nice little collection of citrus peels, I suggest adding a little white vinegar to your jar by day 6 or 7. Pour in enough to submerge the lemon or citrus peels. This will prevent the citrus from molding while you continue to add more. If you do this, you can keep the jar out on the counter instead of in the fridge.
The amount of citrus rinds you collect isn’t crucial. As you can see in the photos, we had almost a full half-gallon of spent, squeezed lemon halves! This will create a very lemony cleaning spray. Yet a lesser amount will do the job too! I suggest collecting at least a heaping handful. The more citrus you have, the more wonderful the smell will be.
Step 2: Soak and Wait
Once you have a good amount of lemon or citrus rinds collected, pour plain white vinegar into the container over them. Fill it all the way up, or at least until the peels are all submerged. Feel free to add a handful of fresh herbs (listed above) for increased natural aromatherapy and disinfecting power.
Soak the citrus in vinegar for at least one week, and up to three weeks. The container of steeping rinds can sit out on the counter at room temperature. To help encourage the infusion, you could give the container a shake every few days to mix things up.
Step 3: Strain and Bottle
After it has finished steeping, it is time to separate the lemon rinds from the vinegar. The liquid may be more cloudy, especially if you’ve been shaking or stirring it. We want to remove as many chunks and particles as possible, to avoid clogging the spray bottle!
Therefore, you could pour the entire concoction into a very fine-mesh strainer perched over a bowl to catch it, as shown below. Another option is to pour the solution through cheesecloth. It may be worthwhile to strain the mixture twice before bottling.
Either way, I like to squeeze and squish the citrus rinds a bit – ringing them out to extract as much vinegar and juice as possible. Finally, pour the strained solution into a spray bottle. Grab a funnel if needed! We use these glass spray bottles, but you can also rinse and reuse any other spray bottle you have around! If there is extra, simply store it in a jar until your bottle needs a refill.
Some recipes say to dilute it by mixing it with equal parts water. If you want to increase the volume of your batch, feel free to add some water! However, based on my research, vinegar has the most effective disinfecting powers when it is used full-strength.
Step 4: Get Cleaning!
Check it out! You just created your own non-toxic citrus vinegar cleaning spray. Now you can clean and refresh your space. It really doesn’t “go bad” in the bottle – you’ll surely use it long before that is a concern.
See a list of uses as well as sensitive surfaces to avoid below!
How to Use Lemon Vinegar Cleaning Spray
We use this vinegar cleaning spray on our super-fancy 1970’s laminate kitchen counters, sinks, shower, toilets, bathtub, on tile, stainless steel appliances, inside the fridge, and other durable, sealed surfaces.
One of my favorite uses for it is to remove unwanted odors, such as that gross egg smell that seems to stay on plates and bowls, or to eliminate residual garlic and onion odor and flavor from cutting boards. In addition to sanitizing and deodorizing, vinegar is great at lifting stains, and sticky messes like sticker glue!
Spray it on, allow it to sit for a minute to reach its full antimicrobial potential, and then rinse or wipe away – such as with a damp sponge or cloth. For a deeper clean and stain removal, such as on shower grout, allow the vinegar cleaning spray to sit for up to ten minutes.
You can also add a splash into the dishwasher, or even in the washing machine to freshen up laundry. I especially love to add a splash with our gym clothes. Plain white vinegar can also be used to clean windows (even better than Windex!), yet the citrus may make it a little streaky.
Do Not Use Vinegar or Lemon on These Surfaces
Please note that vinegar and citrus are very acidic! Therefore, it is NOT recommended to use this vinegar cleaning spray on granite, marble, or other sensitive or porous stone surfaces. The acid can cause staining and etching to them.
We use it on our laminate “wood” floors, but would avoid using lemon vinegar on natural hardwood floors or wood furniture. On the other hand, we DO use this spray on our wood cutting boards. When in doubt, use caution and do some research on the surface in question before dousing it in lemon vinegar."

On its own, white vinegar provides natural but effective antimicrobial activity. It’s also very inexpensive. However, many people find the smell of white vinegar to be far too pungent and sharp to use as a cleaner on its own. That is where the lemon (or other citrus) come in!
By infusing white vinegar with lemon peels, this cleaning spray takes on a fresh, citrusy, enjoyable scent. Furthermore, lemon has its own formidable cleaning powers too! Lemon is known to have natural anti-fungal, antibacterial, insecticidal, and deodorizing properties.
Supplies Needed
Lemon peels, or other citrus scraps – organic if possible!
White vinegar (you could also substitute with over-brewed acidic kombucha vinegar!)
A large glass jar or other container for steeping
A spray bottle
A fine-mesh strainer and/or cheesecloth
Optional: fresh aromatic, antiseptic herbs such as lavender, rosemary, thyme, sage, or mintDirections
Step 1: Gather Lemon Peels
Collect your spent lemon rinds (or other citrus peels) in a large glass container. We typically use a half-gallon mason jar, but a pitcher, a couple of smaller jars, or even a vase would work! Also, it is definitely okay to have the membranes, pith, or seeds in there as well!
Our favorite time to create this cleaning spray is right after we make a large batch of our garden “Besto Pesto” – because we use a lot of our backyard Meyer lemons in the process! If you can’t collect your rinds all at once, that is fine too. Just keep the container of rinds in the refrigerator and add to it as you generate more.
If it is going to take you more than a week to build a nice little collection of citrus peels, I suggest adding a little white vinegar to your jar by day 6 or 7. Pour in enough to submerge the lemon or citrus peels. This will prevent the citrus from molding while you continue to add more. If you do this, you can keep the jar out on the counter instead of in the fridge.
The amount of citrus rinds you collect isn’t crucial. As you can see in the photos, we had almost a full half-gallon of spent, squeezed lemon halves! This will create a very lemony cleaning spray. Yet a lesser amount will do the job too! I suggest collecting at least a heaping handful. The more citrus you have, the more wonderful the smell will be.
Step 2: Soak and Wait
Once you have a good amount of lemon or citrus rinds collected, pour plain white vinegar into the container over them. Fill it all the way up, or at least until the peels are all submerged. Feel free to add a handful of fresh herbs (listed above) for increased natural aromatherapy and disinfecting power.
Soak the citrus in vinegar for at least one week, and up to three weeks. The container of steeping rinds can sit out on the counter at room temperature. To help encourage the infusion, you could give the container a shake every few days to mix things up.
Step 3: Strain and Bottle
After it has finished steeping, it is time to separate the lemon rinds from the vinegar. The liquid may be more cloudy, especially if you’ve been shaking or stirring it. We want to remove as many chunks and particles as possible, to avoid clogging the spray bottle!
Therefore, you could pour the entire concoction into a very fine-mesh strainer perched over a bowl to catch it, as shown below. Another option is to pour the solution through cheesecloth. It may be worthwhile to strain the mixture twice before bottling.
Either way, I like to squeeze and squish the citrus rinds a bit – ringing them out to extract as much vinegar and juice as possible. Finally, pour the strained solution into a spray bottle. Grab a funnel if needed! We use these glass spray bottles, but you can also rinse and reuse any other spray bottle you have around! If there is extra, simply store it in a jar until your bottle needs a refill.
Some recipes say to dilute it by mixing it with equal parts water. If you want to increase the volume of your batch, feel free to add some water! However, based on my research, vinegar has the most effective disinfecting powers when it is used full-strength.
Step 4: Get Cleaning!
Check it out! You just created your own non-toxic citrus vinegar cleaning spray. Now you can clean and refresh your space. It really doesn’t “go bad” in the bottle – you’ll surely use it long before that is a concern.
See a list of uses as well as sensitive surfaces to avoid below!
How to Use Lemon Vinegar Cleaning Spray
We use this vinegar cleaning spray on our super-fancy 1970’s laminate kitchen counters, sinks, shower, toilets, bathtub, on tile, stainless steel appliances, inside the fridge, and other durable, sealed surfaces.
One of my favorite uses for it is to remove unwanted odors, such as that gross egg smell that seems to stay on plates and bowls, or to eliminate residual garlic and onion odor and flavor from cutting boards. In addition to sanitizing and deodorizing, vinegar is great at lifting stains, and sticky messes like sticker glue!
Spray it on, allow it to sit for a minute to reach its full antimicrobial potential, and then rinse or wipe away – such as with a damp sponge or cloth. For a deeper clean and stain removal, such as on shower grout, allow the vinegar cleaning spray to sit for up to ten minutes.
You can also add a splash into the dishwasher, or even in the washing machine to freshen up laundry. I especially love to add a splash with our gym clothes. Plain white vinegar can also be used to clean windows (even better than Windex!), yet the citrus may make it a little streaky.
Do Not Use Vinegar or Lemon on These Surfaces
Please note that vinegar and citrus are very acidic! Therefore, it is NOT recommended to use this vinegar cleaning spray on granite, marble, or other sensitive or porous stone surfaces. The acid can cause staining and etching to them.
We use it on our laminate “wood” floors, but would avoid using lemon vinegar on natural hardwood floors or wood furniture. On the other hand, we DO use this spray on our wood cutting boards. When in doubt, use caution and do some research on the surface in question before dousing it in lemon vinegar."

How to Make Homemade Lemon Vinegar #CleaningSpray: Natural, Non-Toxic & Effective!
By Deanna Talerico updated Jan. 22nd, 2025, published Aug. 5th, 2019
"Got lemons? Hate chemicals and artificial fragrances? Try making your own non-toxic household cleaning spray solution! It only has two ingredients: lemon and vinegar. Actually, you can repurpose any type of citrus peels to make this cleaning spray. Orange, lime, lemon, grapefruit, or even a combination of a few.

Is this thing on? Ahem.
Hi!
After a long wait, I finally posted edition 8 of my link rollup "scraps" on Friday. Much rejoicing was had by I, for I haven't posted one since August! Refunds are in the mail.
We kept it short as I (hopefully) wind back up into some kind of regular posting schedule. We learn that I'm insignificant, what discord alternatives are worth a look in, and keeping it simple. And, of course, more. Huzzah!

This spring I started a #compost pile, adding #veggie #scraps, coffee grounds, egg shells and egg cartons to it. It worked! Mixing and adding water throughout. It didn't smell or attract pests. But, I've paused it as I don't want to attract pests as they look for #food before winter. Downside is now I feel wasteful just putting those scraps into the #trash.

Alas, I got busy with commercial an artist neon fabrication jobs again, so I had to pause a little on the personal projects.
We again lost our CNC person at work and now, the new CNC person will be.... ME! I am quite excited to be learning and told my boss I would like to teach others and be just one CNC person rather than the "CNC guy"- I like to go on vacations an road trips.
I have lots of CNC projects AND the CNC takes practice so to build my skills I have top make some personal projects :) With my newfound CNC abilities, I have become interested in watching videos of people making acrylic channel letters. I even gave it a go with some of my torches. Gosh its gonna be fun to put neon in these! I think I am gonna make the word "antifa" in a script krypton (white lightning) crackle tube- an put it in this (or my second or third) acrylic channel letter.Hooray for scraps!

Scraps:
🎵 Cuckoo Clock -
What a fun an busy week. I managed to stuff the doodle I coated and pulled myself into an acrylic box with paracord. I think I could use a larger box in most areas... and a slightly different box design... But I am certainly excited about putting more doodles in boxes and making them way less fragile.
I also baked a few breads. I am currently on bread 14. Here is a photo of bread 12 (top with additives) and bread 13.5 (second bread of a kilogram flour starter mass) also with the same cashews an olives.
With bread 13, I have begun noticing my liquid starter will be all floating about 12 hours after I feed it on a good day. So for bread 13 I caught it at one of these moments of peak ripeness before inoculating the bread dough with it. I also have been going in the fridge at night and taking it out during the day for two days. The added time added to the bread's fluffyness an rise.#neon #sculpture #bread #nyc #brooklyn #acrylic #scraps #advertisement #light #handmade #craft #glass

Me: OOh yes ! A video about how to use up fabric scraps
YouTubers: So I've had these mismatched 2 yards of fabric in my scraps bin for years ...
Me: :: Eyes the postage stamp and small envelope sized pieces of fabric in my scraps stash ::
LADY WORDS HAVE MEANINGS! YARDS* ARE NOT SCRAPS !
[* No - a 'few meters' are also not 'Scraps' FFS!]
-
But this past week, I started with small scraps, and worked my way up to the 1/2 yard pieces.
Now I have about a million little pieces of fabric that will be far more useful than odd bits that are over-stuffed into a set of drawers.
I still have several pounds of fabric to go through, but it's an easy, almost mindless task to work through while I'm between quilts.

#MaineDEP says expansion of state’s largest landfill would benefit public
The decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned #JuniperRidgeLandfill, which takes in 52% of the state's waste.
by Penelope Overton
October 2, 2024"Despite objections from neighbors and environmental groups, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection concluded Wednesday that expanding the state’s largest landfill, Juniper Ridge, would substantially benefit the public.
It’s not an outright approval, but the department’s decision allows the state to apply to add 61 acres to the state-owned Juniper Ridge Landfill, which takes in 52% of the state’s waste. The state claims this expansion would extend the facility’s operating life by 11 years; without it, it would run out of space by 2028."DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim’s decision can be appealed to the Board of Environmental Protection and the Maine courts, and several opponents of the proposed expansion, like the Boston-based #ConservationLawFoundation , say they are prepared to challenge the decision.
"'This decision recklessly gambles with public health and the environment,' said #AlexandraStPierre, the director of communities and toxics in the foundation’s #EnvironmentalJustice Program. 'It dismisses the serious concerns raised by the #PenobscotNation and other nearby residents about the harmful effects this expansion will have on their health and community.'
"She continued: 'We refuse to allow this dangerous expansion to proceed unchecked.'
"The foundation and other opponents say the #OldTown location of the facility unfairly places the burden of the state’s trash needs on the Penobscot Nation. The #leachate that #JuniperRidge produces when it rains is sent to a nearby paper mill sewer plant that discharges into the #PenobscotRiver.
[...]
"The amount of waste heading to Maine landfills has increased 34% between 2018 and 2022, according to DEP. #Sludge that was once spread on #agricultural fields is now landfilled due to forever chemical #contamination [#PFAS]. The amount of municipal solid waste landfilled during that time jumped 47%.
"While some people say Maine is not doing enough to divert waste from the #landfills – for example, a bill that would have required large #FoodWaste generators to #recycle their #scraps at a nearby facility died on the appropriations table – others object to #Casella as the facility operator.
"Casella clashed with some municipal leaders and state lawmakers when it refused to accept the #biosolids created by wastewater treatment plants at Juniper Ridge out of fear that the mushy slop, or sludge, was causing structural instability that could lead to the landfill’s collapse."
