Akki14.jpg

Hello! I'm Heather aka Akki14 on IRC and here. You can just call me Akki or Mrs. S or Heather. It's pronounced Ah-key and it's from Jane Yolen's Dragons Blood novels. I liked the character because she's a bit headstrong and independent which I always hoped to be (and may slowly be getting to that point after a decade or so).

I have lots of different interests, ranging from domestic, to science, to the arts.

Stargazy Photography is my website. I make cyanotypes and use a big (sort of) 4x5inch sheet film camera.

Future Projects

Continually helping on [Food Hacking] because it's fun

  • Possibly a wooden 5x4 film camera. Possibly one like MLP:FIM :P
  • 10x8 split-back contact printing frame.
  • Bookbinding stuff - specifically a laying press (or steal/borrow a workmate and modify if necessary), and a plough (fancypants paper trimming for books)
  • The weird LEDs-in-resin-nightlight weekend project from MAKE (I have fancy LEDs for this purpose... just need the resin now)
  • Fake cola *not* using essential oils because they're difficult to obtain, and in the case of neroli oil, expensive to obtain.
  • MOAR BLINKEN LIGHTEN!
  • MOAR CAKES&cookies&foodstuff ...

Projects Finished/WIP

Gallery of Stuff

Stuff I'd like to donate but do not think there is space in The Space for it yet

  • small (medium format film size) contact printing frames once we have a darkroom going in the Wet Room so we can use it for making alt process prints (cyanotypes, van dyke brown prints, etc.)
  • Possibly a medium format (120 film) Brownie camera or two for people to use/abuse, probably more useful once we have the darkroom/Wet Room up and running.

Box Location

Using the new labelling system - s09b12. I like occasional gifts and surprises (nice surprises, no dead bugs etc, please. They won't scare me, they're just a bit gross :/) Please don't put things on top of my box! I am quite short and it's a bit of a stretch to get my box as it is without having to go find a chair to climb onto to take someone else's stuff off my box :(
