I started with a new Stimudent tool today. Actually, it’s the part of the Stimudent pack left over from the first tool. Both shown below. I’ve wrapped them in brown plastic tape to prevent ink from wicking up to my fingers. The one I’m currently using is stabilized across the width with two scraps of mat board; the Stimudents tend to curve in the hand.

This is what happens when I think too much. I wanted to make an L whose area = the unused area of the containing square. Didn’t happen. If x=the length of the side of the containing square, and y=the length of the size of the 4 squares which make up the L, then … well, it’s too hard to type. The formula is written in the square. What I didn’t count on was that the 4-square L would break out of the containing square. Perhaps a 6-square L would have worked.

Oh, well.

… on newsprint, and large enough to require stitches (lol). Have I mentioned that you should click on the image to see the full-sized one?

On tracing paper. Very different feel. And I’m noticing a tendency to work larger. This one barely fit on the scanner bed.

Still Stimudents, but different paper.

Still with the Stimudents.

Every day can’t be a winner, I guess.

… not so minimalist today. Definitely.
