It's entirely possible I overlooked a post or lost a comment somewhere or that I have your pictures and just missed your name here. @_@ Thank you very much to everyone who has sent in pics so far! It's been really lovely to get this sort of response. ♥♥♥
I'm going to be taking pictures myself up through the last week of March (I was told today that, "oh, it's fine" that my project is far from done - lasjdf;wei way to make me needlessly worry), so if anyone has any additional pictures or hasn't gotten around to taking any yet, feel free to send them. :) I think I have a lot of blue crane-pics, though, so cranes in other colors (especially... dark/bright green, yellow, orange, gray/black/white, I think) would be nice. :D
I still put together a rough draft/outline version, just so that I have an actual plan. Which I do. Sort of. >.>
Anyhoo, for the curious:
This is my blank wall, aka my makeshift canvas! XD
This is the butcher paper we put on my blank wall. Originally, I'd been thinking of shaping the photos like the world, hence the "1st Half of the World" my roomie wrote at the top.
...but then I decided to go with kanji, which had been another idea I liked. Instead of filling in the kanji with pictures, since kanji are pretty skinny, I decided to fill in the background and put the kanji on top, or cut out the pictures in the shape of the kanji - I'm not sure which I'll do yet, but pasting on top would be easier. Anyways, because of to story of Sadako and the 1,000 cranes, I picked the word "hope." This is one half of 希望. I haven't made the other half yet.
This is the grid I used. :P
All cut out, and blu-tacked to the 'canvas'!
Then I put the ~150 photos I have printed so far up. Ready?
Yeah, I need many more pictures. XD I'll be taking some, and if I absolutely have to, I suppose I'll duplicate some, but I'd rather not.
A closer/bigger view...
When I finished, my legs were really sore for some reason, and my hands were almost shaking. Weirdly similar to how I felt after drinking yesterday at Sooin's birthday party. >.> Really tired now... I was going to take it down tonight in case any of the little ones fell off and got lost, but now I'm not so sure I can be bothered. x_x
Ah, I guess I should.
