LMAO2005.03 Planning

[background] I’ll keep editing this entry as i go along.

I’m planning a dial page, kind of like in pop-up books. Yesterday (2005-09-08) i bought a huge amount of eyelets and snaps from Croppin’ Paradise. These are to hold the rotating disk.

I’m trying to figure out my duplication strategy. I’m not really sure i want to go the way of Kinko’s color copying, nor am i very confident in my color printer options.

Color tests:
[*] chalk pastels over laser printed card stock. RESULTS: the soft pastels are, well *pastel* but pleasant. The laser printing shoes through quite nicely. The frisket didn’t work so well. Don’t know if it was the paper or impatience, but it pulled up the laser printing and sometimes the paper. I was able to use the paper smudge sticks to get good control of the pigment application, so the frisket doesn’t seem so important. May just be old — it’s definitely discolored. (evening 2005-09-09)

[ ] gouache highlights on laser printed card stock

Paper options:
white and the grey, tan, green, yellow, blue card stock at hand.
the bristol i have for painting? (I think the surface is much like the white card stock, though.)
