I've never made yo-yo's but a friend of mine is totally addicted to them.
Love the photos, would like to see a quick tutorial on how to use a brownie hawkeye,
if you know how.
so jen, due to the wonder that is the internets here is what i found. the brownie hawkeye was produced by kodak from 1949-61 and is pretty nifty to look at. i think i may even have one tucked away in the tower of boxes. it is after all, made from bakelite. the hawkeye use 620 film which, to my knowledge is no longer made. you can however use 120 film with a little practice and determination. you are not alone in wondering how to use the darn thing and there are oodles of videos out there. for more info click here and to visit a flickr group, click here.
happy thursday! and thank you to Dr. Colossus for a happy creative commons license!
