ATC a day for August, day 11

I actually did some hardcopy experimentation this afternoon. I'd never done packing-tape transfers, and I tried some. They worked as easily as everyone says. They are still drying.

I think I need a teeny punch. I mean -- a punch that punches teeny holes. I'm thinking I'll apply the transfers to ... something else, not sure what, with some little bitty brads..............

In the mean time, haven't been able to walk away from the digital images.

Back to black and white -- this is the same zebra view from the other day, only now it's been reduced to only two values. Much better.
