The Grim Reaper: Funeral and Mourning Customs in the 19th Century Recorded live on 3/20/2025 5:30pm in Ballroom E Our spectacular hosts are Madame Perry, Tracy Chan, and Beverly Stuart. Our panel will take a deep dive into all the things you ever wanted to know about death in Victorian times but were afraid to ask! Death was considered an ordinary part of life back in the day. Most people died at home and were buried fairly quickly and close by. Preserving the body became popular during the Civil War with the development of embalming. Mourning customs were very specific – what you could wear, and for how long, and for whom (parents, spouses, children all had different mourning periods). Photographing the departed was also commonly done. And then there were the fake mediums, charlatans who proclaimed they could summon the dead by staging seances (and ripping off grieving people). please check out these awesome folks online: Madame Perry, and Madame Perry's Salon at: https://www.facebook.com/madameperryssalon madameperry@lonewolfcomm.net madameperry@lonewolfcomm.net https://x.com/madameperry Tracy Chan, an awesome Blogger, Cosplayer and photographer at https://www.facebook.com/chant808 https://www.nightfoxphoto.com/ https://x.com/chant808 Beverly Stuart. an amazing Cosplayer, Crafter and Photographer  https://www.flickr.com/photos/branabev/ https://www.facebook.com/beverly.stuart.9   Thank you Wild Wild West Con Guests, Staff, Volunteers and Panelists for an amazing Con and weekend full of new and old friends and Con family!

The multi-talented Andie Reeves has lived the kind of life where she just casually drops details that some people would write whole books about as if they're just backstory. Like the time she sailed halfway across the world on a catamaran as a private tutor, which she casually mentions while discussing the award-wining Two Freaks Notice podcast. The writer, podcaster, comedian, and crafter has kept herself busy and found a few ways to contribute meaningfully to the world. Like the six years she spent as a Montessori teacher, writing about sustainability in fashion, and starting the Cape Town Craft Club.

In Folge 37 von Inside Camping sind Mark und Philipp live gemeinsam vor dem Mikrofon – direkt nach einem echten Offroad-Erlebnis! Beide wurden von Dethleffs zu einem besonderen 4x4-Wohnmobil-Event in eine Kiesgrube bei Biberach an der Riß eingeladen. Dort durften sie den Dethleffs Globebus T46 4x4 Performance auf VW Crafter durch echtes Gelände bewegen – mit Steilhängen, Schlamm, Schräglagen und tiefen Verschränkungen. Im Fokus dieser Folge steht das Thema Allrad-Wohnmobile: Wie schlägt sich der VW Crafter 4x4 im Vergleich zum Mercedes Sprinter 4x4? Was kann der Globebus T46 wirklich abseits befestigter Straßen? Und warum setzen Hersteller so selten auf alternative 4x4-Chassis wie den Iveco Daily? Mark und Philipp diskutieren Technik, Fahrgefühl und Marktpotenzial. Außerdem erfährst du, wann und wo du das Fahrzeug selbst testen kannst: Am 27. und 28. Juni bei den GÜMA & Dethleffs VIP-Tagen in Mannheim und Wertheim. Eine Folge für alle, die sich für Allrad-Camper, Offroad-Wohnmobile und echte Fahrerlebnisse interessieren! #Camping #Wohnmobil #4x4Wohnmobil #AllradWohnmobil #VWcrafter4x4 #DethleffsGlobebus #WohnmobilOffroad #Reisemobil #GÜMA #VIPTage #IvecoWohnmobil #Sprinter4x4 #Campervan4x4 #WohnmobilTest #OffroadCamping

Entrepreneur, investor, and former Dragon's Den star Sara Davies has spent 20 years building businesses and helping others do the same. She started her company, Crafter's Companion, while still at university and turned it into a global brand. But as she tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy, success isn't just about strategy - it's about mindset. It's a theme she explores in her latest book, The Six-Minute Entrepreneur, which distills the lessons of her own journey into advice for anyone looking to succeed. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, she reflects on the challenges facing small businesses, what she's learned from Dragon's Den, and why the UK needs to celebrate its entrepreneurs more. As she steps away from the Den, she also shares what's next for her and why she remains deeply passionate about backing businesses that make a difference. Produced by Silvia Maresca and Ka Yee Mak.

in maintenance repair and operations so whenever you want to talk shop just Reach Out call click granger.com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done hey guys so third coffee nothing but phone calls for the last half hour anyway my new um project if you like or thing F the thing with being a recycler right you're always finding new things and new possibilities and new ideas inspiring ideas things that you can use and the other day I was out and about um with my brother we go on these Adventures on Thursdays right and I'd come across a shop that sold fossils and minerals um Rocks Crystals all that sort of thing um snails uh water snail casings and just um absolutely fantastic and I got really excited by them all um and my brother is a photographer stock photographer and there was some Driftwood there it was quite pricey some lovely Driftwood um anyway I was thinking about this Driftwood and I was thinking about how there's so much of it here where I live and thinking that's quite a cool resource isn't it I could sort of forage can you forage for something you can't eat or does foraging mean eating I'm not sure stuff you can eat but I can certainly acquire um bits of wood that I mean and sticks sticks interesting sticks and I really like this idea of sculpting playing creating art from stuff that I found the found object I do it with music I do it with my artworks now I've just done I've just released a load of artworks actually on blink friction which are um graffiti stencils on a a Victorian Bible that was very broken so it couldn't be sold on it was inappropriate for selling but it was fine for recycling as most things are so so much you can do with with recycled materials there really is and it really adds a curiousness and an interest I think to the finished product so really pleased actually with I sold one as well which is really good so if you pop over to eBay and maybe if you search blink friction I don't know I'm not sure if that will come up but if you go to my websites you you'll be able to see all of the wonderful wonderful artworks and fashion that I'm now forging ahead with but I've got so much uh Ro so many raw materials i' I've spent the last month sourcing Bargains on eBay of job lots of things like Army Surplus stuff um patches and old Levis old denim denim's wonderful absolutely wonderful thing to recycle it it's just perfect because barring things like glue if you get glue on denim is no good you won't get that off I don't I think certain glues will never come off anything look like a sort of Evo stick you know that's slightly yellow and it was horrific you there is nothing you can do with glue damaged Fabrics that I have discovered okay you may know differently tell me go to the blog and write me a message go to my Facebook or something so um I've put all this stuff in the cupboard but I did realize that the this it's kind of it makes me feel unsanitary Because unless they've been washed so everything that comes in needs to be washed but you know there's still this sort of idea that it's been around a bit and it's not you know it's not your brand spanking new Vivian Westwood that you just bought in Bond Street or something to you see what I mean it's it hasn't got quite got that same um ring to it or sense about it and of course this it's a sense that I love I love the sense the idea of buying an old Victorian Bible page that has been graffitied um and then you know mounting it in an expensive 3D frame or something really classy really Chic that I think is the perfect mix I do think if you buy a bit of artwork that's recycled you have to think very long and hard about how you're going to display it to make it make sure it's no longer a a Castaway and it doesn't feel like a cast away it doesn't feel like you know if you put it in a a 2bit frame that you know that's got scratches on it and um or a mass-produced plastic frame for example that really you didn't think too much about perhaps if you don't mount it that's always a giveaway should always mount an original artwork so you know these there are ways of making recycled art look really top-notch but you do have to think about it a bit anyway back to the Driftwood so um I was thinking about Driftwood a lot because I was minded of a a frame that I made for a friend very very large drift wood frame and I had to keep going out and sourcing this Driftwood and drying it out and then gluing it onto the mirror and she she said she absolutely loved it I don't know if it was a lie or not I always felt it was but uh in later years I confronted her about it and she promised me that it was absolutely wonderful and she loved it I still don't know if that's actually true so but let Let's Pretend shall we that she thought it was absolutely F she very classy lady as well um so yeah um I was Googling yesterday basically I was Googling how can I be a millionaire with Recycling and I was hoping for some inspiration um but the inspiration that came were well the fact finding Mission the stats proved that the most lucrative of all reclaim is metal so scrap metal that's where the the do is guys scrap metal so you know there are you can be a millionaire but you need a probably a string of scrap metal yards um it's interesting isn't it how something so tangled and dirty could create money I I did find that interesting um there's no way I'm going to do that there's no way I'm going to go out in the middle of the night and rob derel houses of their lead and you know other scraps or buy up old knacked washing machines and sell them for scrap that's just not going to happen um that's not quite what they do though is it I don't know how does scrap what what happens to scrap metal when it's taken into the the yard what happens after that I'm not I'm not 100% sure um I know you can go to a scrap yard and buy bits and in fact my godfather was being really annoying the other day he was saying oh you can go when your em is uh up and they tell you what's wrong you can go and get the pieces that you need secondhand from from scrapyards and my mom and I were like no we're not going to do that and he say no it's very easy just go along and and he would not bloody shut up about it and we were like f off can you imagine well you I don't know if you can but my mother and I a 60 and an 80y old teetering into a scrap metal yard a an old car dumped car place looking for old brake pads so say oh yeah we'll have those I mean do they even get them out for you they probably do actually don't they but no it's not going to happen I mean I I couldn't possibly I've got a bright yellow coat that I'm wearing at the moment um Stella McCartney and there's no way I'd walk in there I'd get dirty I could I'd get dirty just looking at it do you know what I mean this is how I feel about all these reclaimed Levis that I've got slightly Mucky so I've I've found a home for all this stuff that's going to last me two years before I upcycle everything it might even last me 5 years you know but I'm going to make a point of you know trying to create one thing a week for for the clothing cuz blink friction clothing is close to my my heart anyway um so scrap metal was out but then I thought well what natural resources are here you know in my locality and there actually loads lots of fossils and um minerals and and rocks and certain interesting finds that you can you know you scour around this guy at this shop the other day told me that because the the solent between the aisle of white and uh gosport is the it used to be before it was water logged it used to be forest and it and inhabited with people and there are parts of the area this chap told me that you can go to When the tide is out and you can see the old tree stumps you can actually see them because the water's darker or some something he said so I'm absolutely without a Shadow of Doubt want to go there next Thursday I'm really Keen to try that out um but also the Driftwood so I I found some recycled Driftwood models things that people had made with the Driftwood and they excited me greatly people are making Thrones for your garden out of Driftwood fantastic um thousands of pounds and I thought wow that's really adding a lot of value I mean I I'm not much of a carpenter it would be difficult for me to make from scratch something like that but it wouldn't be difficult to get the chair and then to adhes is that a word adhere God I'm visualizing here that the throne that I would make it wouldn't be beyond my cap capabilities to to you know glue basically glue bits of Driftwood all over the chair and create something other something up upcycled something rather fantastic and I'm I'm really Keen to give it a go I over the moon that I found something that that's kind of fidly fiddly and therapeutic but different to Denim because the denims I'm kind of bored of the denim now um so the other thing is you can just get bits of Driftwood and bits of drift Driftwood once they're dried out they they're either soft or hardwood you can tell by pting your nail in and Crafters love them Crafters love Driftwood so the more unusual the shape or I'll tell you who uses Driftwood t

Chilly morning that started with lots of geese. Talked about Gabriel Rathweg’s From Chef to Crafter to Conqueror, my current read.

Should you cut raw meat on wooden cutting boards? Do the bacteria grow inside the cutting board? Is plastic better? Should you use a finish on wood cutting boards? How often do SERIOUS allergies develop from breathing in wood dust? Should you always wear a mask? What is the risk of cancer for woodworkers? IF YOU'VE BEEN CURIOUS OR CARE ABOUT ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!In this episode, we speak with Professor of Wood Anatomy at OSU, Dr. Seri Robinson, about these EXTREMELY important topics. Seri has dedicated years of laboratory research towards addressing these topics and leads a wonderful discussion. A rare occurrence in the maker space where two Ph.D. scientists (Paul & Seri) work together to deconvolute these important topics, cut through fear and misinformation, and come away with real world pragmatic recommendations.For more reading on these topics, here is a link to Seri's book ⁠"Living with Wood: A Guide for Toymakers, Hobbyists, Crafters, and Parents" ⁠and Seri's Patreon all about Wood Safety: http://www.patreon.com/woodsafetyTo watch the YOUTUBE VIDEO of this episode and the irreverent & somewhat unpredictable AFTERSHOW, subscribe to our Patreon:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://patreon.com/user?u=91688467

Welcome to episode 47 of 2 Grooms 1 Plot! A podcast where two life-long storytellers talk about stories! On today's episode, we took a look at something that's a little bit different than anything we've discussed before… The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives! The series follows 8 Mormon TikTok influencers who are a part of what is known as ‘MomTok.' While this isn't a typical show in that it doesn't have a scripted plot, there are still elements of storytelling within the series, as you'll see as you watch - we did not do our typical ‘Switch-Hit Synopsis, but instead Pavi talked about some of this stuff to set up the rest of the episode. Moments of the Week!: Colin: 0:51 - 5:16  Comedy play that Colin was in that got HUGE laughs after a short hiatus due to the… Presidential debate? Pavi: 5:16 - 8:13 Therapist introduced in Rick & Morty, played by Susan Sarandon & A-List celebrities making cameos in the show. Your Hosts: Pavi Proczko is an audiobook narrator (Defiance of the Fall, Edens Gate), Writer (Brugum's Labyrinth, The Nightly), Actor and Singer (Chicago Shakespeare theater, Paramount Theater, Chicago Fire), and Game Master (D&D).

Welcome to episode 46 of 2 Grooms 1 Plot! A podcast where two life-long storytellers talk about stories! Today, we welcomed back our good friend Rebecca to help us breakdown ‘Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale,' which is a musical inspired by the Lord of the Rings story by J.R.R. Tolkien. The musical follows the same general premise of the movies, with some… interesting… twists and changes. There is a WHOLE lot to unpack with this one. ‘A Musical Tale' has had 3 productions prior to coming to Chicago. It was originally performed in Toronto in 2006, London in 2007, and Berkshire, UK in 2023. The production has changed drastically over the course of its run, being scaled down for 2023's show and beyond. The musical was written by Shaun McKenna & Matthew Warchus, with music by A.R. Raham, Varttina, and Christopher Nightingale.

Sarah Edwards, a Cricut crafting expert, discusses the crafting community and the popularity of digital files and finished crafts.  We cover: Cricut machine, digital files, finished crafts, SVG files, trends in crafting, selling crafts, crafting, digital files, pricing, layered paper crafts, SVG, sublimation, AI, sublimation printer, Facebook groups, floral craft countdown   Takeaways The crafting community has grown, especially since the pandemic, with a predominantly female audience. Crafters use SVG files to create their projects, which can be customized and uploaded to the Cricut Design Space. Trends in crafting include gnomes, dog breeds, and personalized items. Selling digital files is more popular than selling finished crafts due to scalability and lower costs. The price of digital craft files can vary depending on the complexity and time investment required to create them. Layered paper crafts command a higher sale price due to the time investment and complexity involved. Sublimation crafting is growing in popularity, especially with the availability of affordable sublimation printers. AI is starting to impact the crafting industry, but there is still a demand for hand-drawn and unique designs. Joining crafting communities on Facebook can provide valuable support, inspiration, and learning opportunities. The floral craft countdown summit is a great way to learn new techniques and try out different crafts.
