week 1-5

I am creating a visual journal using glass sheets. The glass sheets are 3 ft by 18 inches wide. I am etching the days on 15 squares on one sheet of glass. The journal days consist of what i have seen, done, interacted with one another, what i have been thinking about lately. 

Every day i have drawn in my sketch book anything that stuck out that day. I have a lot of sun and thinking about my car in the first few weeks. I put down the contact paper with in the 3rd week and drew all of the 15 squares on each sheet of glass. i have drawn on the contact paper with a pen. Last week i have cut out all of the images of what i don't want etched on the glass.

Friday - i broke the glass, it was the worst day i have had from the beginning of the year. I am going to leave it broken and try to work around it. too much work went into it to start over. 

As for that day it will be part of my daily journal a broken glass with the picture broken. =( its okay gotta think positive. 

To prevent the other 3 pieces of glass from braking i am going to use a big piece of wood board underneath my glass so i can put as much pressure i want on it without worrying. 

I am brainstorming on what to do with the piece now. I think maybe just picture frames and make a wooden frame for the glass to firmly sit in. I could glue the glass pieces together so it doesn't bow in the frame. I could also, sauder  like it was stain glass back together.
