Kismet Arts Tangent

I purchased a self-healing mat. It is made out of a certain kind of material that apparently negatively affects the users reproductive health. There was a warning label on the package saying so and to wash your hands immediately afterward… Ehew. You’d think there’d be a better alternative at this point, disposable ones? Better orgnization in cut-making? You-tube videoes on how to coat your cutting board with a thin protective layer (cutting board condom?).  Anyways, art involves risk. I was cutting up my paper and felt like a true graphic designer, using a cork-backed metal ruler and standing over my desk as I made each incision. No final product today. I have that queasy unsure feeling, that little bit of fear a person has when she is trying something new. Right now, my poster is a pile of shards.
