SHAYE'S MELLOW - frontal view
SHAYE'S MELLOW - oblique view
SHAYE'S MELLOW - detail view of gold iridescent black glass element fitted into the aluminum-leafed resin casting (note some of the red primer showing through some cracks in the leafing)
SHAYE'S MELLOW - detail view of rainbow iridescent transparent amber glass element fitted into the slate (note the transparency on the right-hand side of the glass where it overhangs the slate)
SHAYE'S MELLOW - detail view of leafed lip element with four coats of tinted acrylic lacquer
SHAYE'S MELLOW - detail view of lips (the dark specks are incompletely-mixed pigments from the tinting process — I like the effect it gives)
aluminum leafed resin casting, green Connemara slate, iridescent slumped glass, tinted acrylic lacquer
Finally got around to finishing it. When I posted it as w.i.p. back in March I said it had taken eleven hours at that point and I estimated about four more hours to finish it. It actually took eight hours to finish it — the fitting of the small piece of glass into the resin casting (which I'd never done before — softer is not necessarily easier) took about three times as long as fitting larger glass to the slate. The tinted acrylic lacquer took four coats (instead of one) to achieve the color I wanted on the silver.
The title refers to Shaye Cohn's mellow tones on the cornet. Shaye is the leader of the New Orleans based jazz band TUBA SKINNY which I have listened-to for over a dozen years in recordings. In their first two albums she blew the trumpet, but by the band's third album she had switched to an old silver-plated cornet providing a much sweeter and mellower sound. The lips in the sculpture are about the same color as her instrument.
Shaye Cohn (American, b.1982) — daughter of jazz guitarist Joe Cohn, and granddaughter of jazz saxophonist Al Cohn. She also plays trombone and/or piano when she is with other jazz bands.

this has been the best winter for my plants ever. knock on wood, but i haven't lost a single one ;-; and i've been seeing new growth like crazy!! it feels like every day i wake up and see a new leaf emerging somewhere. that's WILD for a midwest winter lmao but i think i'm at the point where i know my plants well enough that even when i'm not being hyper-vigilant they can still thrive, which is soooo nice because i've been focusing more on other hobbies lately. i love that my plants have become more of an ambient feeling of joy rather than a chore (a chore that i enjoy of course, but it can sometimes be overwhelming). i feel like a sim with a +3 beautiful environment moodlet 🥺
#i need to take some glamour shots of my faves#my song of jamaica has EXPLODED with growth out of nowhere#she's so perky and fun#my monstera peru has finally given me a new leaf#i think i FINALLY killed the spider mites on my aluminum plant bc she's thriving now#my alocasias are putting out new leaves etc etc its all such good news#the only problem i'm having is with my monstera which i might just give to someone#i would never throw away a living plant but i'll be honest. she does not spark joy#so if someone else would appreciate her more than i do then i feel like it's my responsibility to make that happen#i might have to make a facebook just to use marketplace lmao#i wouldn't even charge money i just want someone to take her off my hands

"scalloped" taters, an Old AF family recipe that was only written down in the last 20 years or so, with no measurements anywhere on the recipe card
oven-safe dish. preferably lidded, but loose aluminum foil works fine too
potates, however many you want or need to use up, sliced as thin as you get can them without a mandoline because no one in the family has ever had one
onions, halved and also sliced thin, quantity relative to how much you like onions
all purpose flour
milk (or halfnhalf if you're a decadent lil guy. you can also use unflavored and unsweetened nondairy milk. i've never tried it, but relatives have and reported positive results)
butter, either room temp so you can plop little bits of it or cut into tiny cubes
seasonings (salt, pepper, i've added fresh thyme and sweet paprika before to great success, old bay because i was half asleep and thought it was paprika and it was fine, nutmeg, five spice, go ham)
add a layer of taters to the bottom of the dish, not specified how deep, but flat double layer turns out best by my experimentations. add some onions. sprinkle some seasonings on it to taste. sprinkle some flour on it. again, no measurements, i use at least one heaping big soup spoon's worth of flour per layer, a solid dusting but you should be able to still see the potatoes through it. a few dots of butter. cannot stress enough that this is how the got dam recipe is written
repeat layers until you run out of potatoes, pressing down as needed. you want a little room between the top of the taters and the lip of the dish. or just bake it with a sheet pan on the rack below it if you're paranoid. don't flour the top layer of taters, butter it liberally instead. how much butter do you want? this is a recipe from 1890s southern usa, home of Eating Fat Recreationally, so the traditional answer is "too much"
the strongest vibe check: pour an unspecified amount of milk (carefully) into the potatoes without disturbing the layers. i usually put the milk in my nicest measuring pyrex with the good spout and pour slowly against the side of the dish. "how much milk?" you might ask naively, like i once did. "enough" is the answer i got. i usually pour until i see the whole mass of taters/onions/flour just start floating off the bottom of the dish. top layer not fully submerged but rubbing elbows with the milk. i like saucy potatoes. the temperature of the milk doesn't matter. i've simmered shit like garlic and bay leaf in it before pouring to great success
bake at 375 until it's done. literally word for word what the recipe says, doesn't say to cover it. i do so i can control sauce thickness and browning, but even that isn't necessary. i start checking after 20 mins. when it's done, the taters and onions will be soft all the way through and the milk/flour/butter/seasonings will have thickened into a sauce. how well this sauce hugs the taters and onions will entirely depend on whether my great great great grandmother reached through your spoon to help guide your flour to milk ratio. too runny for your liking, take the lid off and bake it some more. too thick, add more milk, push it around a little bit to mix, and bake it some more. the world is your potato
it's at its best after a 10-15 minute rest, but it isn't necessary. amount made is also relative; i have done a single serving of this in a ramekin with one (1) potato, quarter of an onion, in a toaster oven, all while very very sick, and it turned out splendidly. it's solid comfort food, 20/10 if great³ gramma possesses you during assembly

ALD X porsche 356
The fashion label has chosen to refine rather than redesign the donor 1960 356B it used for the collaboration. The coupe’s front and rear bumpers have been discarded, streamlining its already sleek shape even further. The body is finished in a sumptuous coat of glossy midnight blue adorned with the brand’s hand-painted crest in gold leaf on the front fender and rides on a set of bushed-aluminum wheels wrapped in white-wall tires. Other period-appropriate modifications include yellow fog lights, wire headlamp covers, and custom gold Aimé Leon Dore engine lid badging and emblems.
The fun isn’t limited to the exterior. Open either door and you’ll find a set of midnight-blue leather seats with tonal stitching and matching Alpaca seatbacks and floor mats. Other tasteful tweaks include more hand-painted gold leaf accents and the steering wheel from the Carrera 2.

No, you know what? While I'm all fired up about modern art and outsider art, let me introduce you to the works of James Hampton.
Pictured above is his monumental Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly.
With scant education and no formal art education, James Hampton made these pieces out of his intense religious fervor and his own desire to create:
In 1950, Hampton rented a garage on 7th street in northwest Washington [DC]. Over the next 14 years, Hampton built a complex work of religious art inside the garage with various scavenged materials such as aluminum and gold foil, old furniture, pieces of cardboard, light bulbs, jelly jars, shards of mirror and desk blotters held together with tacks, glue, pins and tape.
The complete work consists of 180 objects, many of them inscribed with quotes from the Book of Revelation. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a throne, seven feet tall, built on the foundation of an old maroon-cushioned armchair with the words "Fear Not" at its crest. The throne is flanked by dozens of altars, crowns, lecterns, tablets and winged pulpits. Wall plaques on the left bear the name of apostles and those on the right list various biblical patriarchs and prophets such as Abraham and Ezekiel.
The text The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly was written on the objects in Hampton's handwriting.
He constructed all his pieces from materials he found or scavenged himself, "such as aluminum and gold foil, old furniture, pieces of cardboard, light bulbs, jelly jars, shards of mirror and desk blotters held together with tacks, glue, pins and tape."
It's not clear if Hampton himself regarded himself as an artist, a visionary, a prophet, or none of the above. His work, however, is regarded as art in the same way that Michelangelo's Pieta is regarded as art: art of a religious subject or concept.
He also "kept a 108-page loose-leaf notebook titled St James: The Book of the 7 Dispensation. Most of the text was written in an unknown script that remains undeciphered. ... Some of the text was accompanied by notes in English in Hampton's handwriting. In the notebook, Hampton referred to himself as St. James with the title 'Director, Special Projects for the State of Eternity' and ended each page with the word 'Revelation'."
The art was not discovered until after Hampton's death in 1964, when the owner of the garage, Meyer Wertlieb, came to find out why the rent had not been paid. He knew that Hampton had been building something in the garage. When he opened the door, he found a room filled with the artwork.
Hampton had kept his project secret from most of his friends and family. His relatives first heard about it when his sister came to claim his body. When Hampton's sister refused to take the artwork, the landlord placed an advertisement in local newspapers. Ed Kelly, a sculptor, answered the advertisement and was so astounded by the exhibit, he contacted art collector Alice Denney. Denney brought art dealers Leo Castelli and Ivan Karp, and artist Robert Rauschenberg, to see the exhibit in the garage. Harry Lowe, the assistant director of the Smithsonian Art Museum, told the Washington Post that walking into the garage "was like opening Tut's tomb."
His work is now on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
