So the other weekend I was feeling crafty/artsy...

That's excellent. I remember reading article years ago in Nest Magazine about how they projected some children's drawings onto a wall and did painted them in his room. It looked awesome and I'd been threatening to do it for a while but never have.

You did a great job!

very cool! : >

you have an overhead projector?

That is extremely cool. I am probably moving into a dorm room in a couple of months. I might do something similar if I can get my dirty hands on a projector.

I do not have an overhead projector, it was borrowed from togden's wife (who is teacher). I am planning to get one soon, probably off of Ebay.

That's really cool! I've been thinking about doing something similar, but I haven't found the right image yet. Reminds me of stuff we used to do in elementary school, on butcher paper...

Wow. Love it.

i actually have a fake tiny one, but it's really too weak for a whole wall-sized thing---it's this--the Tracer (it's good for small, closer-up stuff)

posted by amberglow 19 March | 18:29

oh, research before you buy an old school one on ebay---the bulbs are sometimes really expensive to replace, depending on the model/brand.

Is that an overhead projector, or an opaque projector, amberglow? I think miles was using an overhead (transparent medium versus opaque)...

that is seriously cool, miles - nice work!
