Now how many of us can say that??? I'm sure just about all of us! Especially when we are working full speed ahead... LOL
Now my next project will be a lightbox! I need better pics and my photographer is just too far away. Anyone know of a good photographer in the Austin/San Antonio TX area??? LOL

That's it!! I give up!!! :banghead: LOL! It's supposed to be a giraffe but the ribbon I used is not as wide as the tut asked for. My DH and DD both thought it was a cow too! LOL... Looks like I'll have to wait til I get wider ribbon before I attempt it again. :lol:
Your ribbon sculptures are really good!
Thank you very much!

Wow, you were busy! I just made a lightbox, but I need to head to our German hardware store to see what I can find for lighting. I don't want to drag our transformer out (big honking thing) just so I can use our American lights.

I don't blame you! LOL! I'd love to see a pic of your lightbox. I have the instructions to make one, just not enough time :banghead: Time is a valuable thing around here! LOL

I'll try to get pictures of it in the morning. It wasn't really that hard. My husband measured about 2" from the edges on 3 sides and the top, and then I taped 2 sheets of tissue paper to the holes on two sides and the top and then taped a cut-down piece of poster board inside. It is probably easier to visualize what I mean once you actually see it! lol :) If I can find the tutorial we winged after I'll post it as well.

I got some that worked pretty well from Obi. They were pretty inexpensive too!

Thanks Cheri. What you don't see is that I made 4 of each. I only took a quick pic of a few. So yes I was busy that day. Overall I'm satisfied with how they came out. :D

Hehe :) Good! That is where I was planning to go! Our Praktiker is too unorganized. I'm going to walk around Obi and try to get ideas for headband and pony-o storage :D

I have to do a little cleaning and get the kids breakfast, so I'll have the pictures soon, hopefully!

Thanks! I got the Dora instructions here but improvised a little and I got the alligator from another forum. Both are super easy to make!
