Apologies to those who found my previous post
err...irrelevant.

Anywho,
to those who were not sure if Lily meant
'moleskine' or 'moleskin',
here's a brief on it.

It's
Moleskine.

Moleskine is a website that shows how advanced and interesting
notebooks are made, which will help us in making our own ones later.

Just Google it and have a go.


Once again, I apologize.
My bad. Really.

Oh the pain...

By my title, and on which day this is posted on...

Yes,
Lily's homework.

For those of you that are clueless about it,
(Admit it, I know you are)

here's what we're supposed to do.

Step 1:
Draw at least 6 puzzle pieces on a drawing block.
MAKE SURE that the total area for drawing is
NOT MORE than A5 size.
A5: 14.8cm x 21CM


Step 2:
Remember the pattern you drew on the tracing paper?
Pay attention to this one.
Seriously.
Take a little from each of them,
and add them to each of the puzzle pictures.
REMEMBER THIS!
Only draw the pattern on *half* of each puzzle pic,
because the other half is meant to be empty for one reason.
To show the tea or coffee mark.


Step 3:
Paste the art block onto a mounting board.
It may be advisable to cut out the art block
according to A5 measurement first
and then pasting it onto the mounting board.
Make sure you paste it an a corner, not in the middle of the board.
I will explain why later.


Step 4:
Use coffee powder or wet tea bags to dab it onto the puzzle picture.
Make sure you use enough to make it very visible.
Let the stain/color or whatever dry fully before proceeding to Step 5

Step 5:
Paint the pattern,
and ONLY the pattern.
Leave the empty segments alone so that they can have the coffee/tea color.



Step 6:
Cut out the drawing CAREFULLY by the outline of the whole puzzle,
so that it's
the art block + the mounting board
as one, understand?


Okay, regarding why I advised you guys to paste the A5 art block first,
it's so that you can still have enough mounting board left for step 7.


Step 7:
Paste the puzzle cut-out onto the remaining mounting board,
turning it into a full, complete work.



For those of you who STILL have no idea
or need anymore questions to be answered,
please don't be afraid to contact or ask me.

Or Johnson.

Or Chee Kong.

Or Lex.

Especially Lex.
He knows everything about it.


Hehe..pushing the responsibility here...

><



Cheers.

Annoyance

Just a little reminder to all of you.

It is advisable to keep your art gum
in a plastic bag instead of letting it be
just like that in your bag.

Why?
To prevent any...
incidental leakages.


Trust me, I speak from experience.



And cleaning up after it is NOT fun...

Not.
At.
All.


Grr...
