yesterday:
finished creating files in the morn & went to kinkos to printout in the eve. the 36x36 came out a little streaky in the black areas. not sure this will matter. got 2 sets of the 3 to take in 2 dif directions. one will mimic the first version as a departure point while i plan to experiment more & possibly screw up the 2nd>>>no pain no gain, yet for school one needs to have something in hand.
got prices for color printing my preliminary work as 1 f t x 8 or 10ft banners>blk background & uniform images in sequence> same ones on blog image link. reason being: to show where this stuff is coming from & to get better feedback. thinking of maybe folding/creasing the banners so that there is an accordion effect. if i have three i can alternate to give it a 3d/installation vibe. using bond paper which is kinda lame would cost around $300. on the bright side i can cut them after into pages for documentation. the downside to digital stuff is in the sharing. i could get one or more of those digital picture frames? yet the banner idea would echo the totem painting collage i am working on & may exhibit (tall vertical format). need to know fast so i can tell louise my needs!!!
today: mount some of the prints to fabric. not sure if i want to cut first or after. they are big & the space to work isn't. if i do not cut it would be easier to keep the excess intact to use to back the totem stuff? cutting anything has always been an weakness > so i am a bit anxious on this.
+ i am not sure if i should apply stuff to the fabric & then the print to it or vice versa.
& if i should do small sections at a time & weight it or all at once> use a rolling pin & weight it all with books/bricks?
should i pushpin (fabric out) to the wall & put clips at the bottom for weight or lay flat with books? may not need it, yet am concerned that it doesn't stick to anything. may use books at first & then remove, followed by moving them now & then a tad to make sure they are not binding to anything. new territory for me.
