OK....I am going to admit here that the reason I haven't updated in a few days is because I wanted to have the last post on top, and get people to go vote for my video. But now I have something I really REALLY want to post about, so I am biting the bullet and posting. You can still go vote for my Douglas Adams Tribute Video. If you do I would be really really appreciative. And I promise not to hold any more posts hostage for it.

Though it is easy to over clutter a scene, I feel a set feels more authentic when you get more detail in that is organic to the scene. Obviously not all of these things were meant to be used. In fact, most of them aren't. Some of them can easily be modified to be utilitarian. |
Looking through these pages I have a lot of ideas of what I want to do. It shows how to make lamps with beads, how to get mini curtains to hang naturally (which has been a mystery to me up till now), and other stuff. I have always thought of myself as a creative person, but sometimes it is nice to have something that can help you kick start yourself. Priming the creative pump, so to speak, to use a cliche and all that. I am all excited now. A bunch of this stuff I already have sitting around my cluttery craft area. Or sitting in boxes. Or resting in the back of drawers. See, I am not a craft hoarder. I am an economical crafter. :)
