I see a red door and I
anie’s constructed a swatch ring of envelopes, each with a cd inside. each of us has to pick a colour so that the completed ring will hold all the colours in the rainbow and then some. i went with black for a few reason: because i was in love with my new can of matte-finish black spray paint, because i thought no one else would, because it is half of my favourite colour (redandblack) and because i’d just heard ‘paint it black’ about three minutes before i opened the parcel and it just seemed appropriate.
one note on altering cds: i don’t think i will ever take the cover-in-paper route. i just don’t think that’s playing fair. you’re supposed to alter the cd itself. putting paper over the top means you’re just working in a circle, not with the unique surface at all. i am a big fan of the embossing enamel approach and now i’ve added spray paint to that. anything but paper, really. that’s just cheating.
ok, off cd-altering-soapbox now.
