Art inspiration can come from mundane moments and artists can create unique art on any given canvas, and size is never a limit. What about vintage Altoid tins? Say no more! Using small wood panels and a compact palette of paint, Remington Robinson paints mini Plein air paintings that could fit in your pocket.
Altoid box craft. I call them "nightmare boxes".
Hello lovely people, It seems like you weren't so keen on our last challenge of a sketch at In The Pink so it's time for a new and much e...
No junk luck this weekend so I spent some time playing with the altered book project. Since there was no junk to be had I stopped in at Borders and treated myself to the Winter issue of ART Journaling. As I read through the magazine I realized that my collection of quotes really is like a journal. I didn't compose them but the words are still meaningful to me. I never thought of myself as a "journaler" but hey, maybe. I hope Oregon Public Broadcasting doesn't track me down and sue me for using this picture I tore out of their recent broadcast listing. I thought it conveyed the mood of the words perfectly. My complements to the photographer and, trust me, no profit will be derived from my use of it! Ditto to the person who spoke the words on the left page. Sadly, I did not record who it was and have not been able to find out by Googling. Geeze, maybe I should just hit delete right now. You know I enjoy genealogy so I am always on the look-out for great quotes relating to that topic. In case you can't double-click and make it big enough to read it says: The story changes somewhat over the years as older generations of the family tell it to newer ones. But somehow no one ever gets too tired to tell it, or too bored to listen. In the end, it isn't so much that we're in the story but that the story is in us. Ah yes. My handwriting on the left side leaves much to be desired, okay let's just say it looks pathetic, and hopefully showing these pages will get me to practice. I had lovely cursive handwriting once upon a time. I could tell a tale of repetitive-motion injury and a tendon release but instead I will just say I need to stop being lazy and practice. I have picked up a couple books on the topic and there are some beautiful examples in this new magazine. I need to spend some quality time with a Pitt pen and some lined paper! Let's see if I can make that one of my goals for this year.
I love this vintage tin, such a gorgeous image, it's in my online shop: www.millyanddottie.com/index.htm

How To Painting Altoids Tin

Press image for magnification I like to build small electronics projects and like many others I have found the small Altoids tins to be excellent enclosures. These tins are inexpensive, well shielded, easy to work with, and least but not least they enable you to make experimental circuits that are sturdy enough that they can be reused later.Pictured here is a collection of projects I have built over the years with the hope that they may inspire others.To the left: AVR Butterfly morse keyer (KD1JV) AVR Butterfly Digital SWR / Power Meter for low power transmitters (KD1JV). Actually this project was built in the slightly larger Whitman's tin. In the middle: 50 MHz to 14 MHz receive converter (WA3ENK) with a low-noise preamplifier Pixie II QRPP transceiver for 30 m To the right: 2 m/70 cm antenna diplexer (OH3MCK) Computer-powered VLF receiver Press image for magnification In the next picture there are some more projects: SM6LKM’s 4053 HCMOS converter from 137 kHz to 20 meter band. A 50 MHz test oscillator for testing 6 m receivers A switch mode power supply that converts 15 Volts into 4.5 and 30 Volts for a WWII miniature Sweetheartshortwave receiver. Design inspired by SM0VPO/G4VVJ's practical voltage converter.

September: Several of the comments on the page at Dangerous Prototypes are concerned with the difficulty of finding Altoids tins in many places of the world. That goes for Norway also. I have been lucky enough to have a job that allows me to travel to the US from time to time and then I have bought some. Ideas for local alternatives are needed!
