Chrissy: Matting

Today I cut mats for my quality pieces for my AP art portfolio. 

Oh my goodness! What a struggle.

I had to use one of these complicated babies. 

Messed up three times!

Let me tell you about how long it takes to make 5 mats:

5 hours. 

Plus you have to make the foam core to put on the back.

Also had to use this little beaut.

Ended up cutting my pinky.

There were no band-aids in the art room (go figure)

So I got creative and used a tissue and wrap it up in masking tape :D

Thus creating a little cast for my poor finger.

I will so be glad when this is over.
