Chasing Colors

I met with Jennifer this morning and we talked about our thesis ideas.  The conversation was inspiring and helpful.  I ran into some difficulty with the printing process today.  I could not match the color of the hearts I cut out yesterday.  The new batch of black tissue paper I purchased today really bleeds a lot and the red ink could hardly register.  This afternoon I went to Lenz for a different type and still had problems.  I think I may have printed them twice?  I will give it a try tomorrow and do another layer of red.  I did get impatient and began working with some red tissue paper with black ink.  It does not look as organic and I am not sure what impact they will have on the overall project.  The use of two papers with one heart is probably not a good idea.

I printed out some heart drawings on the silk tissue and cut them in a heart shape for a rotation stop motion.  It’s not coming together.  Looks cheesy.  The photo above is my first attempt.

Lastly, I fired up the boom mic. The recorder does not recognize my sd card.  I do not know what I am doing wrong and hope when Nick comes home we can figure it out together.

Tomorrow is a research/writing day.  We are suppose to have lots of rain and I am looking forward to the storm.

Night!
