The Creative Loves of... Heart Zeena
Zeena of Heart Zeena is a printer and textile designer living in lovely South West London working from her garden studio at home. She creates printed treats for the home all of which are hand made and silk screen printed by Zeena or one of her helpers. I first spotted her work at the We Make Craft Fair in London back in December and so am really happy to have her here on Creative Loves this week.... Can you tell me about your work space? My studio is absolute chaos at the moment, but I like to think of it as organised mess! Have you always been creatively driven? What inspires you, where do you go for ideas? What is a typical work day for you? How do you approach each brief / project? What projects are you working on at the moment? What has been the most interesting or exciting project you've worked on? In terms of your work what couldn't you live without? What do you love most about what you do? What do you want to do in the future? Where are you happiest?

Robots to revolutionize farming, ease labor woes
SALINAS, Calif. (AP) — On a windy morning in California's Salinas Valley, a tractor pulled a wheeled, metal contraption over rows of budding iceberg lettuce plants. Engineers from Silicon Valley tinkered with the software on a laptop to ensure the machine was eliminating the right leafy buds. The engineers were testing the Lettuce Bot, a machine that can "thin" a field of lettuce in the time it takes about 20 workers to do the job by hand. The thinner is part of a new generation of machines that target the last frontier of agricultural mechanization — fruits and vegetables destined for the fresh market, not processing, which have thus far resisted mechanization because they're sensitive to bruising. Researchers are now designing robots for these most delicate crops by integrating advanced sensors, powerful computing, electronics, computer vision, robotic hardware and algorithms, as well as networking and high precision GPS localization technologies.

Keyhole Gardens
Keyhole Gardens First made popular in Africa, keyhole gardens are catching on in Texas and other hot, dry places. Keyhole gardens hold moisture and nutrients due to an active compost pile placed in the center of a round bed. Although most helpful in hot and dry locations a keyhole garden will improve growing conditions in just about any climate. From a bird's eye view the garden is shaped as a keyhole. Keyhole Garden in Central Texas, Deb Tolman uses keyhole gardens as the main source of her own food supply, and is working on ways to keep them producing throughout multiple seasons and conditions.

I've been scrapbooking. Actual pages and not just PL pages. But first my word. In December I was trying to figure out what my One Little Word was going to be. My word for last year was 'awake'. A dear friend that I had made through this wonderful industry reached out to me at the beginning of last year and suggested a few things. One day I would be like- "Yes! The next day I would be like- "How in the world am I going to do all of this with a baby and a toddler?! Then one night I decided lets do this. By, 'let's' I mean ME. See how crazy this thought was? There was a lot of praying during this time. I did inquire about manufacturing. The next day, after inquiring about manufacturing, I was out running errands. Later that day I got an email from the creative director at Echo Park asking if I wanted to work with them. I honestly read it and thought, "Nah, they have the wrong girl. I spent 2013 designing and spending time with my family. Nothing except '+'.
Így termessz egyszerűen, olcsón szuperélelmet a konyhádban
A csíráztatás a legegyszerűbb és leggyorsabb módja annak, hogy szuper élelmet állítsunk elő. Az olyan kifogások mint „én nem vagyok az az ember” vagy „nincs elég hely” egyszerűen nem lehetnek kifogások arra, hogy ne lássuk el magunkat olyan élelemmel ami különleges minőséggel és értékkel bír. Egyik ilyen lehet a lucerna: A lucerna hajtásait azelőtt takarítják be, mielőtt az teljes növénnyé fejlődne ki. Mit tudnak? A vitamin tartalma bizonyos magoknak, hajtásoknak, gabonaféléknek, és csonthéjasoknak akár 20%-os növekedést is elérhet, az eredeti értékhez képest néhány napon belül a csírázás megindulása után. A Vitamin tartalma egy magnak a csírázáskor végbemenő biokémiai folyamatok következtében akár 100%-tól 2000%-kal is megnőhet, magtól és körülményektől függően. Tartalmuk Minden magban megtalálható vitaminok közé tartozik az A-vitaminC-vitaminB1-vitaminB6-vitaminK-vitamin A lucerna csírában a K-vitamon koncentráció a legmagasabb ami jelenlegi ismereteink szerint a természetben előfordul.
