After working on the backgrounds of my Italy pieces for a few days (here and there), I got a little stuck as to where to go next.
Then I got a little scared. I was liking the backgrounds and didn't want to ruin them.
So I started by laying out the photos and the ticket stubs and various paraphernalia that I wanted to display on the boards, moving them around to suit me, and fitting in each place name where it seemed to go.
Then I looked some more, day after day, afraid to do anything permanent, to wreck all the work and thought I had put in so far.
On the weekend, we worked like crazy on Saturday to get everything around the house done so we could relax on Sunday.
And then here I was with this time, late Sunday afternoon. For a moment I hesitated: should I just charge right in and glue the stuff down, or should I spend more time agonizing over whether I had everything just right or not?
I decided I was being ridiculous and just started getting the stuff attached, one panel at a time.
I need to print a few more photos- there are a few holes now where there weren't before... not sure how that happened exactly...
I am debating whether to label the photos on the front, or make a list on the back. I need to decide also how to and how much to tone down some of these items that really stand out.
I have walnut inks in four different colours, which I could brush or spray on.
I have both Paynes Gray and Burnt Umber Golden Fluid acrylics which work wonders at shading- but as there is both blue and brown in these, I am not sure which way I want to go.
