Boardwalk Bar part 8

 Today's plan was simple.  Widen the two vertical sides of the border on the outsides, then cut as much of the image area as I could by the time I decided to head home.  Mission accomplished.  

I started with the outsides.  The image is closer to one side than the other, so on that side I cut the margin to the edge of the block.  On the other side I cut about a half inch more than it was.   Now on both sides I have a healthy margin around the border, and the top and bottom already had it.  There was a little more time left in the session, so I started on the broad areas of the ceiling, on the left side of the block.  None of this is finished yet- I just cut big shapes for now, silhouetting them.  Eventually I will hollow out everything I cut today, but not yet.  (the shapes I cut today and the shapes I left behind will both be color in the final version)  The photo below doesn't really show the margins, so you'll have to take my word for that.  It does show the other stuff I cut today:

For music I brought something from my storage box, a copy of a hits album from Frank Sinatra.  I believe this was a simple copy of a disc my brother had, and while he was away on his honeymoon and I was watching his house, I copied a lot of his discs.  For example, my Bruce Springsteen compilation (two discs, with copies both on my shelf and in the Studio) came mostly from his large collection.  This Sinatra set was called Sinatra Reprise The Very Good Years.  All I wrote down was that title on the disc itself, but I'm assuming this extra long album was all his hits from his years on Reprise Records (now part of the Warner Music Group), which overlaps with most of his best known songs.  It is probably because I wrote down nothing else that this wasn't on my regular shelf but in with piles of loose discs that made it into the box I took home from storage, and thus available today.   Not my usual style, but this was my father's favorite music, so I grew up with it.  And in any case, good music to work to.
