How to Relax - Create a Masterpiece on Your Very Own Sheet of Paper

!±8± How to Relax - Create a Masterpiece on Your Very Own Sheet of Paper

Feeling Stressed out? Make a sheet of paper and unwind a little, then create a masterpiece in charcoal on your sheet of paper, and discover a world of relaxation in the art of creativity.

"What, me, make paper? And draw? You must be crazy," you say.

No problem, it's a piece of cake. Anyone can do it, using stuff that you can find around the house. Here's how:

The Paper

Make a rectangular frame, the mould, thirty four centimetres long and twenty five centimetres wide by joining four bits of two-by-two centimetre wood together using glue and nails. Make a "deckle" of the same size in the same way. Cover the mould with net curtaining by stretching it across the frame and tacking it on.

Shred four sheets of used computer paper, or photocopier paper, into thin strips, and place into a large saucepan. Add sufficient water to submerse the strips. Boil for an hour or so, skimming the scum off the surface at regular intervals to remove the worst of the ink spots. Drain the water off in a colander, and squeeze out the pulp.

Take a handful of pulp and put it into your liquidiser. Fill the liquidiser with water. Liquidise at full speed for 20 seconds. Pour the pulp into a 2 litre jug, and make up to 2 litres with water.

Place the deckle on top of the mould (wire side up) and hold the mould, but not the deckle, under water in a tub or sink with one hand. Pour the pulp into the mould, shaking the mould from side to side a little to spread the pulp evenly.

Lift the mould out of the water and allow the excess water to drain off, before removing the deckle. Turn the mould upside down, depositing the formed pulp onto a piece of wet felt. Using a sponge, soak up all excess water by pressing it onto the back of the mould. Lift the mould slowly to expose your sheet of wet paper. Notice the attractive "deckled" edge of the paper.

Allow the paper to dry on the felt overnight. Iron the sheet flat and remove the last bits of water the next day and, voila, you have a sheet of hand made, recycled paper.

Unwinding a little yet? Good. Once you have mastered the process it is easy to experiment by adding scraps of coloured paper, onion skins, food colouring, and petals of flowers. Now, on to the masterpiece.

The Drawing

Find a stick of charcoal, about twelve millimetres in diameter, from your bag of BBQ lumpy charcoal, and break off a three centimetre piece.

With your sheet of paper in front of you, turn the charcoal stick edge on so that the length of the stick is facing the paper. Without consciously thinking of any shapes or forms, draw the edge of the charcoal randomly over the paper in straight lines, in circles, diagonally across, applying heavy pressure, light pressure, any way you feel like, but leaving some blank spaces.

Put the charcoal down and stare at the paper with half closed eyes. Turn the paper round until you find a recognisable shape. It may be the beginnings of a landscape or a portrait, or even an abstract form.

Take up the charcoal again and accentuate the shapes that you have found. Use a soft eraser to create highlights or lighter areas. Use the sharp tip of the charcoal stick to make sharply defined lines, smudging other areas with a finger to create softer areas. Keep working at it and, before long, you will have created a recognisable work of art.

When you are satisfied with the result, spray some hairspray over the drawing to fix it, so that the charcoal doesn't smudge.

Frame your picture, hang it on the wall and boast about it to your friends and family, because you have created something unique, a special piece of yourself.

In the process, did you notice how the world went by without you noticing whilst you were busy creating? How you focused on the task at hand to the exclusion of everything else? How your concerns evaporated? How you simply relaxed?

Great, isn't it?

Why Not Share Office Space and Make Some Extra Cash?

!±8± Why Not Share Office Space and Make Some Extra Cash?

The idea that you can actually share office space and make some extra cash is one that has probably never occurred to most small businesses. They are usually concentrating on their core profit action and the office is just a convenient place where the thinking part of that takes place.

Office space can be expensive to rent for many people who simply need a desk, a chair and a warm room to work in. That's why an office that is already in use, and that has a part of it not in use, can be an asset to a company. The office can be hired out, or shared, for a suitable fee, and everyone is a winner.

If you feel that sharing your office space is something you could do to make some extra money there are a few things you should consider first. You should make the idea an attractive one to those who may be interested in your offer.

If someone can rent out complete office space at considerably lower rates than you are offering, they will have no incentive to share office space with you. For that reason you will need to position your offer as a step below renting out a complete office and price it accordingly.

Your charge to share office space will also be determined by what you are making available. If the office share includes the use of the office printer, photocopier, fax, Internet access and perhaps other facilities, then you can of course charge more than if you are offering just a bare desk and chair in a corner.

You will also have to give some consideration to privacy and seclusion for the person who shares your office. You will also be subjected to the proximity of a virtual stranger being in your office space, so give some thought to how you will manage that to everyone's satisfaction.

Office workers also need the use of facilities such as a toilet or tea and coffee making equipment, for example. If your office is staffed entirely by men and the person who comes to share office space is a woman, can you cope with that adequately? There are also certain laws that also have to be adhered to regarding the use of an office.

However, none of these things are insurmountable. Far from it, they are just things that you should be aware of before you jump in. It is always best to plan everything properly first. A good idea on paper can sometimes turn out to be not so good in reality. Also, any problems that may arise should be ones that have been foreseen beforehand and therefore have a "Plan B" type of remedy waiting to be put in place.

In today's world of recession when companies large and small are all having to tighten their belts in an effort to make ends meet, the realisation that you can share office space if you have it could be a great way to make some extra cash to help pay the bills.

History of the Photocopier Machine

!±8± History of the Photocopier Machine

Invention of the Photocopier

A patent attorney called Chester Carlson invented a process called electro photography in October 1937 which was then renamed to Xerography in 1938. The "10-22-38 Astoria" was the first known photocopy. The Xerography copying processes become one of the most well known inventions of the 20th century. Carlson became wealthy from the invention and created a new billion dollar industry and received world acclaim. It is estimated that Carlson gave away almost 0 million of his earnings to charity and foundations before his death in 1968.

Development of Xerography

Ten years after Carlson's Xerography invention, he found a company to take it on called The Haloid. The Haloid were a New York based photo-paper manufacturer and they later on became Xerox Corporation.

The First Office Copier

Who invented Xerox photocopiers? In 1955 Haloid Xerox produced the first automated xerographic machine called Copyflo. By 1958 the first true office copier was produced. Twenty two years after the electro photography, the first ever commercial push button photocopier machine called the 914 was introduced.

Good Times for Xerox

In three years, Haliod Xerox income increased from 2 million in 1960 to over 22 million by 1963, which became a phenomenal success.

In 1961 Haliod Xerox became Xerox and its stock was listed on the New York Stock exchange. The success grew from the 914 as Xerox introduced 24 new products after 20 years.

Changing Market

The Xerox domination later changed when new manufacturers changed what the world knew as a Xerox machine to a "photocopier" and it was a new beginning for the greatest marketing battle of the 20th century.

As early as 1955 Ricoh were emerging as a potential competitor for Xerox and developed the RiCopy 101 Diazo copier. In 1975 Ricoh had developed a prize winning copier called RiCopy DT 1200.
Brands such as Minolta, Panasonic, Toshiba, Canon, Konica and of course Sharp began to produce small office copiers, which became a big challenge in completion for Xerox's domination in the business copier market.

Copiers Today

Today, Xerox continues to be one of the world's leaders in the copier market along with Sharp and Konica Minolta. Recently, copier machines provide more than just copy. They can now print, fax, scan and even send out emails. This has become a great way to save money on office equipment and has also provided businesses with more office space, where before they would have had separate machines such as printers, fax machines and scanners.
