Here’s a commission I’m able to share now.

Blackside Dace (Chrosomus cumberlandensis), a federally threatened species native to the upper Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. Printed extra large at 400mm.

#3DPrinted and painted by me.

An argument could be made that I didn't need another wrinkle finish Singer 99 but THIS one has a ton of blackside parts, including the faceplate and stop motion knob! Hoping to swap parts around and have a 99 with all available parts in blackside. #VintageSewingMachine #VSM

Today, I brought this Singer 15-91 Blackside back to life. Motor rebuilt, rewired, new wicks, cleaned up, motion restored. It will happily live on being used well in it's new home (here). 🐱

Eight Wisconsin darters for the "Best Freshwater Fish" theme of #SundayFishSketch. Lots of diversity and colors in this group!

Just spent an Agatha Christie audiobook touching up my blackside Singer 99 parts with gun bluing. I can't believe I almost passed on this machine - this is the only blackside 99 faceplate I've ever seen. Just because I "already had 3 wrinkle 99s and my target amount is 1."

Such a superb series, by filmmaker Henry Hampton and his Boston-based production house Blackside—and unavailable for many years even on DVD because of the massive expense of clearing the rights for the original footage and music. (It first reached HBO Max in 2021.)
The essential civil rights doc series “Eyes on the Prize” is on [HBO] MAX. Subscribers should be forced to watch all of it before able to watch anything else…

Yes, yes, yes! In the history of public television the great producers generally were outsiders or went outside: Rainbow Television Workshop, Blackside, Native American Public Broadcasting Consortium (now Vision Maker Media). And… it’s complicated

Produced by Henry Hampton's Blackside Productions, founded in Roxbury, MA in 1968.
Eyes on the Prize is one of the best pieces of American public history ever produced. It's so frustrating that it isnt more available, given the era we live in. Eyes I streams on PBS and is on DVD. As far as I know Eyes II isn't available for streaming or on DVD. And now Eyes III will stream on Max.
I'm genuinely disheartened by the lack of reviews/coverage for "Eyes on the Prize III," which premieres on HBO tonight.

Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better.

Anyway... ICYMI, my review:

I talked myself out of a blackside Singer 15-91 and a blackside* 15-90 on shop goodwill this week because I already have a keeper 15 and a project 15.

So anyway I'm picking up a 1931 15-91 with the nickel plate tomorrow.

*some or all metal is black instead of shiny.

Bought this off Facebook Marketplace yesterday. Swapped out the blackside parts for standard ones, removed motor, changed handwheel, attached Singer handcrank, removed 1/4 cup of fuzz, added quite a bit of oil but will give it more bc THIRSTY. Hope to get it stitching tonight!

I think the side painted a dull black might give them a clue about the malevolence of the party on the #blackside

"D- Dumb detectives..." a waning part of Blackside bit against the words as they exited his oafish grin, "take... a load... off..."

The grunts picked up in both volume and pitch until-

BLOOOOOOOORTCH!

It felt wrong. Some dwindling part of the investigator knew he'd just filled his pants...

Mino let Sean slide with “protecting Dak’s blackside” and that’s cool but coulda given him a little grief. A whoa, perhaps.
