asked by nallycatI’m bracing myself for Christmas already ;P
Had an idea yesterday morning that I was so excited about that I got out of bed before lunch time. Even went and got the project its own little notebook. Just very early experimentation/research here.
On one of the first days of our course we were given something like 10 - 20 minutes to get an A3 piece of black card, design some glasses, make them and be sat down ready for a talk from the library man - during which we would put them on all at the same time whilst he’s looking down for a second so he can look up to the surprise of a bunch of numpties.
It was great fun, I decided to get a quick photo of me wearing my glasses for assessment.
My chosen Zapf’s Dingbat shot. It was printed at A1-size for the exhibition which made me pretty happy!
Final shooting for the Zapf’s Dingbats Project, previous shots can be seen here and a lovely story about my initial attempts here.
