Woohoo! Finally finished that collage project thingamabobber! Not gonna post another picture of it yet, because all that glue made it dry all benty-like, and I want to let it be sat on by something heavy for a few days to flatten it out again. But it's cool.

Ze flu thing is be gone! Apparently it wasn't actually the flu, because it only lasted about 2 days. Now I can play with my tablet, yay!

...Though this whole Elftown thing is so darn addicting...Not to mention the fact that I have a VERY time-consuming project that I have to finish by Thursday for my Basic Design 2 class. Hmm, methinks I'll post a picture of the work in progress. Gimme a minute while I go take one and upload it somewhere.

...Okay, here is a terrible photo of the thing:



It's a collage in complimentary colors. Basically, it's a bunch of tiny magazine bits stuck on a piece of 11x14" bristol board with a curious mixture of 1/3 water and 2/3 Elmer's glue. The design is based on a microscopic picture of the shell of a foraminifera (tiny little single-celled organism that makes a shell out of silica). I need to cover all the blank (white) space with more magazine shreds. This requires next to no thought but takes a very, very long time.

I joined Elftown yesterday, yay! This is officially my first diary entry thingy.

So. Thursday was the long-awaited arrival of my brand new Wacom tablet. Friday was the not-awaited arrival of influenza (at least, I think that's what it is). Life's funny like that.
