Well, what a start. I've been ill and barely left the house all day (i.e. a two metre leash would've worked just as well), so I waited until my ever-accommodating housemate got in to do this.
It was tremendous fun! She bumped me in entirely unexpected ways, turning me around and pushing the book up, and we were both in fits of giggles very quickly. I tried to start with a nice diagonal line, and you can see for yourself how that went:

I did this in a narrow little corridor next to my room, and I think it shows a little in how careful we both were. I also drew the lines quite fast. Perhaps slowly would work even better? Next time (what next time?) I'll be sure to have more space. If this is the kind of ridiculous activity the book contains, this is a heck of a good start. It was hilarious, roll on next week's page!
Mess by Not Him Not Here, with assistance from hir housemate.
I find it interesting that I tried to make lines that were parallel and perpendicular to the paper, while you went straight for the diagonal and lines that overlapped. It shows how differently we think! I also stuck to one colour, which you didn't. I think you've got a bit of a headstart on me in the mess-making business, and I'll have to break the rules a bit more if I want to catch up.
ReplyDeleteYou say that, but my lines were straighter than I expected. Yours do this wonderful swirly thing :)
