I vote + if this can be made into a pendant (for real, like the tee-shirts) like the regular yin yang, and sold to me. |
|
|
Ill take one silver fishbone/gold croissant yin yang pendant please. |
|
|
is that fishbone yin or yang? |
|
|
Hm. I thought the ying yang thing was meant to be balanced. How will it be so when, for instance, there are more croissants than fishbones? So, really, it can't be done because it won't look like a ying yang thing unless nobody has voted or the votes remain even. |
|
|
Oh, I think it'd look exactly as designed redardless of vote count. |
|
|
one of those I wish I'd thought of it moments |
|
|
they're all left threaded - which shall we reverse? |
|
|
As are Yin and Yang, are they not? |
|
|
That first link is just beautifull! I want a tattoo! |
|
|
Great idea! [DeGroof]'s picture is spot on. I just took a printout of his version to a local printer and made a t-shirt. Where am I allowed to wear it? (Knowing I will not make it look bad or explain what it really means). |
|
|
You can wear it anywhere [sleeka], but you have to post a piccy of your good self wearing it (you don't have to include your face if you are worried about privacy issues). |
|
|
What on earth could people object to? Personally I would be happy for you to set up a CafePress shop that gave you a 10% cut. Link if you get around to it please. |
|
|
well I am going to try to use it on an iron-on transfer for a tee. Thanks Steve. |
|
|
Brilliant! Thought the clock was a little hard to read (though still fab). My favourite is the raglan hoodie, but I really don't have the chest for it. But if I got a coupla pairs of socks... In the meantime, something like this, [DesertFox]? (linky) |
|
|
for those prices I needn't bother doing it myself. Thanks again |
|
|
I just bought the YYFC clock; Now when I wake up, I get to think "hey, there are at least several thousand Half-bakers smarter than I...but maybe a few of them have bad ideas". |
|
|
Aw shucks, thanks [wags] - I just do it for the practice :) |
|
|
Incidentally, anyone thinking of using eMachineshop or similar, I now have a CAD model of this knocking about... |
|
|
I've already got half of this tattooed on my back (the fishbone bit, beat ya to it, [zeno]). Got it before I'd heard of the HB, too. It must be my destiny. Maybe should get the croissant done too to balance my y+y. |
|
|
big plus for the idea, too |
|
|
<logic> Fishbones are cool but negative, croissants are cool and positive, you need to balance up. <egging on> Go on squeak! Do it! That would be wicked! <peer pressure> We'd all think you were really cool if you did that! |
|
|
Off topic musing: It concerns & bothers me that the Red Cross will not take blood ( except after a waiting period) from people with tatoos. If our current tatooing is not safe for blood, donors or donees, why is it being done? Squeak, do not get another tatoo. |
|
|
[squeak] - Do not listen to advice from vague aquaintances you have met on a website. Oh, you weren't... |
|
|
And WHY, may I ask, am I not supposed to get another tattoo, [dentworth]? |
|
|
[squeak] because you may be contaminating your blood; it used to be a hepatitis risk. And if the Red Cross thinks it's bad, I'm with them. Just a friendly warning. I will look this up to be sure and get back to you. |
|
|
Here is a quote from one of the Red Cross websites |
|
|
Wait 12 months after a tattoo if the tattoo was applied in a state that does not regulate tattoo facilities. This requirement is related to concerns about hepatitis. Learn more about hepatitis and blood donation. |
|
|
Acceptable if the tattoo was applied by a state-regulated entity using sterile technique. Only a few states currently regulate tattoo facilities, so most donors with tattoos must wait 12 months after tattoo application before donating blood. You should discuss your particular situation with the health historian at the time of donation. " |
|
|
[squeak] thats worthy of a photo on the HB calendar. <nudge> |
|
|
To anyone here: If you can send me a t-shirt like that, I'll pay! email me. |
|
|
And I want two medium sized and one extremely small ( baby) sized. |
|
|
I just recieved the bone/bun clock I ordered, and it looks good. Now it's right next to my computer. |
|
|
Make that a large one [zeno]. And I like the clock much better! |
|
|
It looks exactly like the clock in your CafePress Shop link, and is 10" (25 cm) across. All plastic, of course, but it works just fine. |

I've been thinking that the fish and criossant are both sort
of yang and that the lack of any vote at all is sort of what
is yin, and that it might be nice to have a yinyang where
one "comma-shape" was made out of both a fish and bun,
so like
where the bun was the round part and the fish was the
tail of the comma and the outside of the fish and bun
combo was half of a circle and the circle continued
around to include an empty space in exactly the mirror of
the fish and bun combo that represented the yin-like lack
of a fish or bun. |
|
|
Moomintroll that is exactly what I want! |
|
|
[JHC] You've been thinking again haven't you? |
|
|
I've just taken delivery of ten little badges (buttons to you Yanks). I don't need ten but I couldn't bring myself to pay the $5.00 postage on a $0.99 badge, so I now have too many. I might use them as bait to lure people to a London Halfcon Pub Thing. |

Good, Steve. The black could be blacker if anything but that's just splitting hairs, I'm wearing mine now. By the way I have stolen your design for a project of mine. Was going to ask you but I can't find your email address - mine's on my profile page. |
|
|
I think a large child's t-shirt should fit me. I prefer the logo big, the female tops aren't exactly my kinda clothing. |
|
|
But my internet is playing up, I cant proceed to checkout.... nooooo.. ............ panic attack |
|
|
[wagster] i'm gonna buy a pack of 10, one for each of my bags |
|
|
aww, jeeez, thanxs steve! you're a sweatheart |
|
|
Now I'll buy one (plus two, once the kids see mine). |
|
|
I've been working on something recently. Having obtained the necessary permissions from [jutta] and [Steve DeGroof] (though, please note, endorsements from neither - this is not linked with or supported by either of them, or halfbakery.com) I've created some fishbone-croissant paperweights based on Steve's design above. See link to photobucket. |
|
|
They're available at £10+shipping. Of that, about 60% goes to the foundry that produced them, I would like to take 10% towards my own costs, and the remaining 30% goes to a mission hospital in Africa. If you're interested, put an underscore between my first and last names and contact me at yahoo (UK). |
|
|
Wow, those are really well made. |
|
|
Paper never saw it coming. |
|
|
Would be great for:
crushing ice
thwarting burglars
making "tunamelt" cookie sheets!
|
|
|
I'm tempted to get some coasters laser cut with this design through ponoko.com. I've submitted the design and been quoted US$95 (includes shipping) for 11 coasters made of bamboo plywood. If anyone wants the design in .svg format, so you can get them laser cut yourself, I'll happily email it to you. |
|
|
Best check with She Who Must Be Obeyed first ... |
|
|
// Wow, those are really well made. // |
|
|
Yes they do. Really solid and heavy. What calibre, sorry, diameter are they ? Not that we would ever consider using one as a projectile. Unless, that is, we were totally desperate. Or bored. |
