Today I cannibalized an older piece that wasn't working, going after it with scissors and an X-acto knife (woo).
Approximately 5 CDs later (actually LPs, mostly prog rock), the shearing was done and a new background was in place. Now the real work starts--the whole thing has to be cut into pieces and taped back together in a mosaic/quilt that looks exactly like this. (Strips of cloth framers' tape will be applied on the back, along the seams.) Those bar code things are xeroxes of an op art pattern I made in MSPaintbrush and only used once, for a small piece.
Tom, first off, thanks for the heads up on the Apex show. I missed the opening but got a chance to spend a fascinating hour with Shea Zellweger prior to the lecture.
Real reason for commenting, this looks like a good path
Re: the Apex show: I just participated in a panel where the audience kept going on about the supposed self-centeredness of bloggers, so glad I could be of some service. Re: the piece, thanks, my fingers are crossed it'll work.
not still bitter about that are you?
Rich, bitter implies being mad without justification. Why the ad hominem language?
(We're talking about the empyre listserv, where three out of four invited panelists left after being ambushed with rude comments about blogs and generally obnoxious behavior. Eventually one panelist did most of the posting and then comments from the list dwindled to a trickle. I stopped reading after I bailed at mid-month, except for the occasional email that Chris Ashley, "the last panelist standing," linked to.)
At the end of the month empyre moderator Michael Arnold Mages emailed the panelists and asked for a closing statement: "Perhaps you would like to take the opportunity to make some closing remarks, or post some final links before the month ends," he wrote.
Chris sent Mages a long thoughtful analysis of what he thought went wrong with the June list, which he cc'ed the other panelists. Then Mages didn't publish it to the list! Outrageous!
So yeah, still "bitter."
didn't mean to insult there. just inquiring.
i'd love to know what chris thought went wrong? he did post quite a humourous list of statistics about how many posts people made. (he posted the most, bless him).
emprye seems somewhat over-policed.
The top one looks especially good on that tile floor.
Thanks, but the top one is history!
