I definitely receive failing marks on this one...had to google "articles of confederation and constitution" (if only Mr. Mika taught american history as well) as well as "palimpsest"['s] history, etymology.

Nice work on the photoshop, but I do wish that the Magna Carta portion was a bit more visible, perhaps that was intentional though.

the most distinguishing piece of the magna carta was a wax stamp that hung from the bottom of the parchment (and thus hung off the workspace). i tried to blow it up to fill the corners, hoping some of that crazy olde englishe would pop a bit. with those four layers it didn't really pick up tho.
