Went with B/W because the lower left paper was yellow, the bottom right was orange (color shifted to yellow prior to b/w), the tape measure was yellow, and the wood has a natural light yellow...
Originally planned an entirely different approach, doing something outside, but the weather didn't cooperate. Oh well, hope this still life does "ok". :-)
It's amazing how much math is used in woodworking, most of it simple math, but a good exercise in fractions when the kids come out to "help" or to build something of their own. |
