The 5 panels are made using construction paper from the campus center. I practically stayed up until 4 in the morning to do this. The entire backdrop in Jewett Auditorium is about 50ft by 27ft.</p> <p>Stubborn me, I wanted a black background and because I could not get black construction paper in time, I ended up taking green paper and painting all of it black. OMG!!! In retrospect, it is a very stupid idea—> it was so time consuming. What the heck was I thinking! The worst part about this whole experience is having to climb up the ladder and placing all of the panels together. Never again.</p> <p>2.11.12</p>http://gianbonggiay.tumblr.com/post/17432660985http://gianbonggiay.tumblr.com/post/17432660985Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:19:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5ckpOzty1r2sl7io1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz5ckpOzty1r2sl7io2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Dried flowers that my friend gave me from last semesters.
