My amazing Birthday weekend at Camp Xanadu on Catalina Island.


https://www.thexanadulife.com/camp-xanadu/


How I spent the best Birthday weekend ever with a group of amazing a fun people I just met. These beautiful individuals filled me with love throughout the weekend from the time we boarded the boat. We got silly, dressed in costume and in bark on a journey together to rediscover play. It's the most amazing adult summer camp I've yet to attend. I was initiated into my cabin with welcome and open arms, our cabin name "the island foxes".






I took fun improv workshop lead by the hilarious and beautiful Alison Becker. I'm fortune and honored to call Alison a friend. She made my birthday weekend even more special by conquering her fears and sleeping out side with me in hammocks under the stars, on the cliff, by the ocean. Waking up early the next morning to the sound of the ocean was so refreshing and gratifying.




                   
                                                                                                            
We did yoga on the pier using the wireless headphones by silent disco. The experience is truly unique and special. You put on the headphones, close your eyes and then it's just you and the yoga instructor. You can feel the light waves crashing on the underside of the pier as the sun rise and warmed our bodies. Later that even we returned to the pier to dance our hearts out, once again with the silent disco experience. This time you could feel and see everyone around and feed off they're energy, and yet if you took off the head phones, suddenly all you would hear was the sound of peoples feet hitting the floor in rhythm, it's a fun sensory experience, not to mention awesome music. Eric and I closed the dance floor down and were the last two standing,... we'll three actually, we wouldn't have had all the funky tunes to sweat our ass off to, with out Ariel Segatto our resident DJ for the weekend.

Saturday September 30th 2017 my Birthday and what a Birthday it was.  A talent show of all talent shows was put on in front of two ragging camp fires with a cozy ample theater setting. Eric and I had the brilliant idea to dragged out a few mattresses from the empty bunks to line the front row. Soon after other also took suit and got they're seating areas cozy and snuggled in. Beautiful Acroyoga, hula hoop and multiple types of live music was performed. One of the amazing performers was Sean Ptolomek, and I high recommend you check him out. ( I put a link to his music under the picture of him performing) I felt blessed to have some 150 people sing me Happy Birthday. Then it got even more special and was topped off with a beautiful proposal from Peter Dautel to the beautiful Casey Lum. Casey was my cabin leader and is amazing sole, so I felt honored to witness Peter get on one knee and ask for Casey for her hand in marriage.

The boat ride home was the icing on top of the cake, fitting statement for a birthday weekend. Once again we put on the wireless head phones and Ariel Segatto got our hearts pumping with funky tunes. We all danced into the sunset as we cruised back to the main land. I can never forget the amazing weekend I spent at Camp Xanadu and thank everyone that was there for filling my vessel (HEART) with LOVE.

Epoxy Skull and Walnut Wood Brain

Epoxy Skull with Wood Brain Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich In today’s video I’m showing you how I made a life size epoxy skull with a life size walnut wood brain to fit inside. I started by making mini skulls first and figure out what worked and what didn’t. I started by figuring out how to make silicone molds for casting. This took me awhile to figure out which products and methods worked best. I found that using a pressure pot set at 35-40 PSI when making the silicone molds gets all the tiny bubbles out for a perfect casting. I also used the pressure pot when I poured the epoxy and left it in the pressure pot for 24 hours before de-molding. I used Total Boat thickset for the epoxy, which worked great. I used BBDINO platinum silicone 1:1 mold making for making my silicone molds. Once I figured out the epoxy skulls I moved onto making wood brains to fit inside on my OneFinity CNC. I then used a Dremel to carve out the underside of the brain so that they fit in the epoxy skulls just rig

Ultimate Garage Makeover With Xyla Foxlin

BEFORE Check out my YouTube video of the transformation of Xyla‘s garage while you’re at it check out her video as well. Ultimate Garage Makeover Wood Brain by Lindsay Zuelich In today’s video I’m sharing with you how I helped transformed my friend @xylafoxlin newly rented garage into a bright and functional workshop. Because Xyla is renting but has a one year lease, we wanted to try and do as many renter friendly things as possible, and we ran all the other ideas by her landlord in advance for approval. We started by giving the garage a really good cleaning then painted the rafters of the garage with white paint. We opted to not insulate the walls … I KNOW!… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments. But we didn’t insulate. After we put the walls up (without the insulation) we painted the walls white and hung wallcontrol on the areas that we wanted to hang tools. Once the walls were addressed we tackled the floors. The rear section of the shop has some weird floor damage to the co
