On Sunday afternoon I was not too surprised when Mabel wanted to start another banner. First we tried a new system for dividing the long sheet of white paper off the roll into a top half and a bottom half, one for Mabel, one for me. We FOLDED the long sheet of paper in half, then when we opened the paper out Mabel could use her thick-line black roller ball to draw a very straight dividing line – and she wished it to be very straight – between her half and my half. We took turns each adding a new feature to our banner, and copying whatever feature the other one was doing, or more often collaborating on both sides of the banner to execute two different versions of the same feature at the same time. It was a success, according to Mabel. It was beautiful. She knew exactly where she wanted to hang it.
