It's more my wallet that has to brace itself D-: But I checked and this shelf is under 20€
IKEA is like a social happening, with the restaurant they have there, isn't it? <3

It's very interesting to know how do you stage your artwork. You don't have to make a lot of things and the result is so amazing! I've always wonder where you stage your works, and when I discovered that's in a little box like this I was very surprise!
It shows that with a few things and imagination you can do great things. And thanks a lot for the tutorial, it may be useful.

I've got problems too with the light.
I usually wait for the week end because I get up later and so I have a good luminosity. Otherwise, since I go to school later on monday, I just wait for sunrise.Maybe I should make one...?

sometimes the simplest idea really works. too often we think that to be creative we have to buy something to be creative with. your idea works. when you "do" really shiny stuff close off the front (with a hole for the lens to poke through) and light on all sides.
