I've had a huge work boom in the last week. My apartment is a mess of pulp and little strips of cut paper... and I love it! I've been experimenting with some metallic papers, which creates a whole mess of problems. This paper is extremely delicate. Even a single finger print will make a dark, oily spot, ruining a possible work of art. They also don't take ink very well, as it tends to clump together as it's drying.
But after working out all those kinks, the hardest thing was getting a decent picture of it! My poor scanner couldn't handle the shine, and spit out a pixelated blue (blue?) image. I decided to try using my camera. Lighting was key, as any light source gets reflected and distorts the picture. I tried and tried, and am still not completely happy with the file, but as Mike Myers would say "I love goooooooooold!"
