19/6/2019 Day 23- While the box was crafted and done, I moved on to the wall paintings themselves. The first projected dimensions for the cardboard cue-card
(10.5mm-15.5mm) fitted suitably for the printed text and image.
However, during the first trial of pasting the text and image onto the card board, I had used white craft glue. This led to the paper to deteriorate after absorbing the water content of the glue, leading to a distorted image.
To correct the unforeseen issue of using white glue, I removed the already pasted images with the use of a box cutter. Then, reprinting the same image and instead used double sided tape as the choice of adhesive. Resulting in the image appearing as originally intended during conceptualization as well as being more attractive as a whole.
As per the recommendation of Ms. Chee’s consultation, I built a small a frame to replace the previous yellow box used for holding the Roman wall paintings. The new frame will allow for a more attractive view on the “cue-cards” as well as keep it in a fixed position for improved transport.
