Gathering up props and other materials for this series has been an unanticipated adventure in and of itself. I have made several rough and other more fleshed out sketches (to be shown in a later post) that led to the accumulation of the goodies below.
My favorite piece to work on has been the floral wreath the threads throughout the images on the main page. I started with a bare wreath from Michael’s and added some fake flowers from the favorite store of any cheap crafter: Dollar Tree!
I also gathered some other materials that do not necessarily fit in with my running theme, but they may come in handy later.
A set of 1970s skeletons called out to me from the “Take Me” bin outside of a defunct party supply store near my apartment. It was a real trip dragging these dears to my Victorian Lit class and back home on the 6 train.
