So, when I was talking about tape removal and how to be careful, there is such a thing
as bad tape removal. Yes, yes there is. As a learning experience my first piece that
I did, which was this face piece that I continued to show you example of, you can see here now
if you get up closely, first of all where the tape removal, I didn't have the edge scored
well enough and it actually removed a piece of the collaged part itself, as well as up
in the top right hand corner here you can see where the actual board itself came up
with the tape, and you can see it along some of the edge that wasn't scored so well, I
was a little timid, a little scared to cut into the board and make a cut. But there is
a thing as to scoring the board where it wont actually cut all the way through and that
just really depends on the pressure and the angle at which you cut with the mat knife.
So even as tedious or simple of a process as it may seem, this is the finished part
of your work. You really want to give it all its due attention.
