thoughts after the in-process crit

Today was my in-progress critique. I brought in examples of the different types of stitching and the failed transfers. People aren't sold on the hand stitching and DEFINITELY aren't appreciating the idea of encasing the transfers in resin. Some advice about the stitching: possibly using black and white Polaroid peal apart film instead of color [using the thread to add back in color to the image] and minimizing the stitching itself. About the background: no one minded the paneling but preferred less of the lights and more of the actual apron in the image. A few chuckles were exchanged with the thought of attempting to "rent a cabin for a 2 hour time frame." I think I will have to make friends with some of the freshmen in the dorms who have a similar set up in their rooms as the cabin rooms. All in all I just need to get this project done. :)
