Ahem. Turned out I didn’t get the illustrator file right after all. Had to resend it.
Today was B&Q and blisters from the drill. We’ve made 28 shelves, all fairly small and some excessively so (deeper than they are wide). I’m back home now with the shelves laid out on the floor dejectedly. There’s still so much to do. Tomorrow I’m going to paint them all white, then add the black edge. The vinyl lettering should (i.e. has to) arrive tomorrow, and I also hope to solve the mystery of how to stick 14 light bulbs to 14 glass bottle-stops. I’m thinking about sellotaping them, and making the join and the handiwork of it very visible. I’m suspicious of invisible joins.
I’ve had to find myself a bigger suitcase. The whole exhibition is coming on the train with me to Edinburgh, and I’ve just found out I’ll be stopping off for two nights in Manchester on the way. More about that another day…
I think I’ve gone slow because there’s too much to do. Sometimes when there’s too much to do I go FAST. Tonight it’s SLOW.
