SFO Overpass Weaving

DAY 1

Step one was gluing down my 8" x 10" images onto large pieces of paper so they formed one large image.  This was my old-school ghetto method which I have temporarily returned to...long story.

DAY 2

With a ruler and pen, I measured 1/4 inch strips on the backs of both pieces of paper.
Then the cutting begins.  I only cut about ten strips at a time and then I have to give my hand a break.  Cutting, weaving, coffee, cutting, weaving, coffee.  This seems to be a comfortable rhythm. 



With ten strips cut, I can begin weaving them.  The below image is my "warp" and this is what I will weave my free-floating strips into.

30 Strips Woven
 A productive day I'd say.  I'm spent.
