Friend Jen just asked me to make a ‘tools bouquet’ for her hooked rug show that begis this weekend at Shelburne Museum and runs from the 12-through the 20th. .  It’s called “Hooked in the Mountains” and it’s put on by the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild . I’ve seen the shows before and it’s really amazing artwork.. paintings.. really.. but done with yarn. I recommend you take a look This years theme is “All the Live Long Day – A celebration of working, industry and innovation” . Evidently there are many themes there this year including technology, biology, art, industry etc.. all depicted in hand made hooked rugs. . Jen is runnign the show this year and asked quite a few folks to put together ‘tool bouquets’ that showed the tools of their trade. I had originally thought I’d just put some soldering irons and stuff in a flower pot.. but Jen asked me to jazz it up a bit more.. soemthing a little  bigger more flashy. I only had a few hours to think about it.. so I put together a  pile of tools: an oscilloscope, a frequency generator , a frequency meter and a power supply all hooked together in a way that invites to viewer to play with the knobs. and see what happens on the screens. Then I sprinkled on a bunch of blink bling just to make it a little less sterile.. Not beautiful.. but certainly geeky enough..   I still have a few hours to think about it if anyone has an idea how to spruce it up.. or make t look a little more presentable..   Any idea most welcome..

nite all.. nite sam
