Light up my life.

Right now, I am figuring out what I want to do with my display. I want to do something with lightboxes. It's so chic looking! Anyway, Michelle and I went to Ace Hardware and Home Depot today and I felt a bit discouraged because I don't know how to use tools/know anything about anything like that. So I decided to step away from the whole thing and then I got inspired after my bananap. (Bananap = what happens when you eat a lot of banana cream pudding yummm). I tought of the locker gallery and remembered sticking Christmas lights through foamcore. After some googling, I found this light box idea using a cardboard box and tracing paper. Hey, I've got foamcore. I've got straight pins. I've got Christmas lights. I've got vellum (stronger than tracing paper, f'sho). HEY! I've got a light box. First attempt:


The craft is a bit shotty. I'll admit---I was excited to see if it worked so I cut corners (ha ha "cut" corners). But it looks promising! 

So far:

Display - 0; Jessica - 1.
