Week 3

This week was mostly spent working on my book. I faced many obstacles during this project, and learned much from my mistakes. This week included printing out poems and what was supposed to be painting pictures of them. This appeared to be a challenge as glue is very messy and so are paints. I spent a good six hours fiddling with glue and paints before realizing how awful they made things look. It was then when I realized that I needed to go in a different direction. It was then when the tea bagging idea was brought to my attention, and I proceeded in giving it a try. By covering the poems in tea, it gave it a sepia/aged/distressed look, while keeping things simple. This was a breakthrough in the creation on my book. With the poems in the book, i proceeded in doing the same tea process with the pictures I had chosen to represent my poems. By this morning, all of the poems and pictures had been successfully put in their proper places and the book is now finished. This week I learned trial and error the hard way. It took much thinking and planning to end up turning the book into a success. Luckily it all worked out in the end and is presentable.
