The walls are bleeding.

So I'm working at the Marjorie Barrick museum right now for my class and we are making a thing of twine and staples. I'll post pics when it is done. The way that it's made there are shadows on the wall that make interesting patterns. So my teacher decided that duplicating the effect with a drawing on another wall would be a great idea.

This he left up to me and another student and we set about making some pattern on the wall using a chalk-line filled with red chalk to create the effect. If you have ever had a cat scratch yourself and seen the after-effect the color is the same and since we only did it in lines to me it looks like the beginning of a b-movie special effect. The walls want to bleed. I didn't start it out to look like that but right now it's pretty cool.

It makes me think about what other things might look good in a dose of b-movie horror effect.
