Lima Mafiti

We've identified the recurring image in most of our pieces to be hands, So we're using that as a platform for our journal. Sonia had suggested we put the pop up on the back burner as we don't have enough time or experience to create a pop up book that's not tacks. Which I fully agree with. We might do a scan of cutout pics onto selected blank pages. I had suggested we use sketch images of hands in different actions (i.e. on a chair, ladling food, open catching rain or something.) Which will look chic enough, I reckon. In class we were discussing formatting, I think it's hard for us to move forward we're sort of stuck in this stage of limbo with the project. Sonia brought in some cool little pamphlets, one was like a construction piece, and the envelope was unusually folded. She wanted to handout stuff like that while we did our presentations which I thought was cute. It would be a really nice touch. I really hate this blog thing. We threw around name ideas, it was kinda hard not having thomas in class but he had a funeral which is completely understandable. I had suggested "Mrs. Palmer" but the vulgar connotation of the name was not welcomed as much. I though it was a funny name to call the journal (cause it totally goes with the hand name.) I had said "hands suck" as well just throwing out all the possible random hand titles then Sonia was like "A lima is a ringa is a hand" and I quite liked that. But i'm not sure if that's the title or a subtitle. Either or it works. It's becoming hard to work in a group though because I hate having to get approval from the whole group before continuing on an idea or something like it. It's easier working alone because that's what i'm used to. I suppose that's the same deal with all of us. I really like my group but I just wish I didn't feel so stupid making suggestions. I think that really deters me from wanting to participate. True story.
