I’ve removed some of the strips, and thinned it way out toward the edges. i wonder if this is better than the other versions. you see, i can’t really tell when i’m standing over the board. but seeing it in pictures really helps to tell what it looks like from a distance.

perhaps what’ll happen is that it’ll resolve into a picture from a distance, and at close range it will look more like the canvas background. at least, i hope that’s how it turns out.
