'it's going to be great! or a disaster. never easy to tell at this point with you'-one of my friends who i texted this picture to
I have to agree with my friend. They look like zombies at the moment. But to me, this is the most exciting part: I have the whole canvas more or less covered the way I want it.

the most difficult process is untwisting the teabags. writing on a brittle teabag with a .18 technical pen comes in a close second
