Whole Thing... My Place (ideal version)

I have just put it together quickly, with the 8 individual scans. At some points they don't exactly match, but I think it is important to show the whole thing.

Note> the stripes of black tape represent walls, yellow tape; window.

Comments about today's class.

I just want to say that I appreciated the fact that we had a free studio class. We could go at our own rythm. It took me about 3 coffee before I could be productive. And I guess it is morning for everybody it give us time to be inspired in the morning- you know just half-sleepy in-between.

I wish I had a scanner, because we are scanning whole bunch of stuff lately.
