May 1 – May 4
Working on the drawings; got all the drawings in the attic down and sorted + picked out those I want to finish. Alas, that I have not taken better care of them – and alas too, I did not use better paper. So many of the early 1920’s are on wallpaper stock, which has grown yellow; and brittle in some cases. I plan to stretch strong detail paper and mount the drawings on that as a preservative.
