Memory aides


I am working on a new piece:  no glue involved.  I've been wanting to get back to applique.  The problem is that working somewhat improvisationally, I audition various shapes on the background until I get the composition just right and then have to remove them all in order to sew.  And there is no way I can remember where everything was positioned.  And I hate marking the background so tracing around the shapes is not the best option.  So I'm taking digital images, printing the image, and using that as my guide.

I am thinking that if I strap a camera to my forward and click away throughout the day perhaps I can remember where I have put things.
