Another project done! I tried to use a marker to darken the inner mat, and of course immediately scratched the white mat with the black marker. Sigh. So I used calligraphy ink that I had on hand to dye the mat.<\/p>\n

Step 1: cross stitch something dirty based off of a game you\u2019ve never played yet recognize the characters to. <\/p>\n

Step 2: go to the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store and spend $10 on a frame whose cutout matches the size of your artwork. <\/p>\n

Step 3: take it all apart and wonder at the amount of staples and tape they use to secure a fairly mundane image. <\/p>\n

Step 4: use a marker to colour the inside mat black, and immediately fuck the white up like you knew you would. <\/p>\n

Step 5: continue to fuck up the front of the mat with marker, leaving weird streaks and unfinished parts. Use calligraphy ink to dye the entire mat. <\/p>\n

Step 6: put your image in, put it all back together, tape, and hang. <\/p>\n

Step 7: be glad it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n
