Hommage to MFA 2

Today I learned that sometimes it's better to ask for help than to try and do everything by yourself. The day started very early as I had to go to the college copyshop to get the faulty print they gave me re-done. They restored their honor by immediately starting to print me a new billboard poster.
Unfortunately when it was done I decided tat it would be a good idea to glue it on with just the help of Manami. Besides that I also thought it might be easier to put the wallpaper paste onto the billboard instead of on the poster. This resulted in a near disaster as all the paper did was creating bubles allover.
Luckily one shout for a little help resulted almost the whole MFA group running for help. After some desperate attempts to try and get rid of all the bubles I saw my project going into the bin. Furtunately for me Gregor knew what to do and we just peeled the whole thing of and started right from the start (this time by glueing the back of the poster first. Miraculously this worked out great and it looked better than I could imagine. After a good few hours we got the second half done aswell and my billboard was complete (the poster that is, as it still needs to dry before I can put on the frame and hang it on the wall).

So I learned that it isn't a bad thing to ask for help when you might need it.

A big thank you to all that where there to help safe my project and an extra thank you to Gregor (http://www.trinomes-thinking.blogspot.co.uk/).
