| Cyrillic Letter burned using Scripto Lighter |
 |
| Finger covered in ash |
Idea for today's daily dropcap: Create a cyrillic letterform using burn patterns.
Background: Humanities discussion about Russian Poetry, and the spread of poems through recitation and burning. Dropcap will be burned.
Likes: impermenance, pain, suffering, alternate letterforms, emotionalism, physical harm, historical context
Obstacles: Poor lighting, poor lighter, pain, poor technology to document (video cut short)
Notes: Paper is burned very easily as a single sheet. Burn patterns are harder to make and thus more controlled when paper is stacked together. Air becomes important, because airflow determines burn pattern. Paper orientation can be manipulated. Angles of lighter stay constant, everything else moves. Silent process.
