New Project

I have started a new project! I've been procrastinating about it for so long and now I've finally put pen to cardboard, not to mention its permanent pen. 

So to explain more, I got these awesome cardboard stools at a design market (I am trying so hard to remember who I got them from, when I find out I'll tell you all). I've been using them as bedside tables and every time I go to bed I get inspired by what I could draw on them. This has probably been happening for about 6 months now. Until final last night I started. The small piece I have done so far is me tracing the pattern on. Its not working great since if i trace too hard it dents the cardboard, or the pencil line is so faint I might as well freehand the whole thing (which terrifies me). 

Ideally I would love a projector so I don't have to keep redrawing my pattern, but then I had a friend who mentioned the wonderful draw by grid method. So I think i might go with this. It will basically be me redrawing the whole pattern onto the box by hand but square by square. I figure a square a night and I'll be able to finish this off in about another 6 months? 

Ah well if it starts to look terrible like a child has gone crazy with a marker, i'll just paint the side white… that would still look good right?? Eeekk well i'll keep you updated as to my progress.
