I&#8217;ve seen the shows before and it&#8217;s really amazing artwork.. paintings..  really.. but done with yarn. I recommend you take a look This years theme is<span><em><span style=\"color: #006600;\"><em> &#8220;All the Live Long Day &#8211; A\u00a0celebration of working, industry and innovation&#8221; . <\/em><\/span><\/em><\/span>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 &#8216;tool bouquets&#8217; that showed the tools of their trade. I had originally thought I&#8217;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\u00a0 bigger more flashy. I only had a few hours to think about it.. so I put together a\u00a0 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..\u00a0\u00a0 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..\u00a0\u00a0 Any idea most welcome..<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6483.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6488.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6491.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6492.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6493.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6494.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6495.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/nov1011\/IMG_6501.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>nite all.. nite sam<\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Friend Jen just asked me to make a &#8216;tools bouquet&#8217; for her hooked rug show that begis this weekend at Shelburne Museum and runs from the 12-through the 20th. .\u00a0 It&#8217;s called &#8220;Hooked in the Mountains&#8221; and it&#8217;s put on by the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild .
