Pay it Forward 2009

[indigirl]

I got my Preppy eyedropper from kookychick & wanted to share how beautiful it is with Diamine Damson in it... this is a great pen! It's my first eyedropper so I was nervous about ink spilling out all over the place but so far not a single drop has escaped, although spousette is referring to it as "the scary pen" anyway

 

Thank you kookychick!!!

I have a barely used bottle of Noodlers Polar Blue up for the taking. It bleeds on most of the paper I use...so I just don't really have a place for it. I would appreciate the recipient covering the cost of shipping. I would also greatly appreciate tips on shipping the ink as I have never done so before.

 

Thanks! Please PM replies.

Alright, had plenty of responses, although I haven't confirmed with the winner yet. Be we can call this one claimed.

Plants went out yesterday.

 

Plants & seeds

 

It's the time of the year to close up the greenhouse and bring in the house plants. They grow like crazy over the summer and I end up with too many to take in. Here's what I have available, if anyone would like some.

 

Morning glory seeds. Mostly shades of purple, ranging from almost a red to lavender. Possibly blue or white. I don't guarantee color because I mixed up the seeds.

 

Also, tiny little plantlets of Mother of Thousands, Bryophyllum or Kalanchoe (depending on where you look) daigremontianum. Very easy to grow. Fast growing. Can be invasive in warmer climates.

 

I might also be able to send a cutting of wandering jew, Tradescantia zebrina, if anyone is interested.

TAKEN

 

When I paid to enter the NYC pen show, I received a $10 gift card off a $50 purchase from the Fountain Pen Hospital. I probably will not be using it, so if you'd like the card, PM me and it's yours.

This is a really good book by Eric Temple Bell. You can get quite an education about how the human species got its mathematics together up to to almost the middle of the 20^th Century. And there is one woman mathematician biographied in the book too.

 

An update ought to be done, which would include a lot more female mathematicians.

 

For those who would like a more populous, on-line set of biographies of mathematicians look here.

Since it's still Halloween here in California (I really did mean to get this up earlier!), I have an Edgar Allan Poe Manuscript Journal by Paperblanks to send to some lucky person... hmmm... criteria...

 

YOU write a very (very, very) SHORT mini-essay: "An Edgar Allan Poe story that would make a great movie is __________, because __________. It should star __________ as __________."

 

All PM (get it?) submissions recieved before midnight California time (and I will figure out the DST thing, I promise) will be reviewed. The purely subjective winner will get the journal and their essay published here!

Wow, thats very beautiful...

[foxtail1]

Gone in 1 minute!

 

What I have to offer is not that beautiful, but hopefully useful to someone here.

 

When I bought an Oberon Design journal cover to house my Kindle, it came with- big surprise- a journal. This black hardbound journal measures 8.5 x 5.5" and has unlined pages. Oberon Design says "Our bound inserts are smythe sewn using heavy bond paper."

 

Anybody need it? CONUS only, please, due to shipping costs.

The winning entry:

 

"An Edgar Allan Poe story that would make a great movie is 'King Pest', because it's your classic tale of ghouls and ghosts set in plague-ridden London, with a little comic relief thrown in; perfect Hollywood fodder. It should star Uma Thurman as The Arch Duchess Ana-Pest."

Thanks for the participation!

 

 

Thank you kindly, Loren. I'm looking forward to filling it up with tales of horror and suspense (ie. my daily journal).

 

Btw, a few years ago I drew an adaption of King Pest for an excellent series of books called Graphic Classics (illustrated classic authors). Here's the title page:

If you are interested in reading the rest, just go to: http://www.antonemdin.com/images/portfolio/king_pest_01.jpg and change the number at the end sequentially until you hit 17. Sorry it has no navigation.

 

Thanks again to Loren, and FPN!

 

 

Cheers,

Anton
