016 // So chipper it hurts

[easy_aspie]

Hi, campers! I'm Ned, and I'll be supervising the Arts & Crafts Cabin. I know not everyone's a fan of - y'know, the wilderness and archery and swimming and that kind of stuff. I just wanted you all to know that everyone's welcome here, and you can stay for as long as you'd like. (Er - well, until five, when I close up, anyway

...What about glitter?

[easy_aspie]

We've got plenty of it, in at least two dozen colors.

[goodgrasshopper]

I mean, not that I care but... That's a lot of colors. And, uh. Tie-dye sounds like it maybe might be kind of fun...

[easy_aspie]

It is fun! Nothing says happy like a rainbow tie-dyed shirt. You know what you could do is tie-dye a shirt and then use glitter fabric-glue to decorate it. Best of both worlds!

Amanda's the weird kid who sits in back/has quirks that scream "developing sociopath!"

I made a little piggy. A piglet. Out of clay.

Ned has his glitter goggles on. IT'S LIKE BEER GOGGLES. BUT WITH GLITTER.

[easy_aspie]

Oh! Got a head start? Great!

You know what you could do, is bring it down here, and we'll fire it in the kiln, and then you can glaze it.

I WANT THOSE GOGGLES

[creatingalegacy]

Okay. But I don't know what color glaze to pick yet.

It's a pig of friendship, you see.

/Arts & Crafts some for you.

[easy_aspie]

Hmmm.

Well, I'd say usually to pick pink, since pink is a pretty pig-appropriate color. But to symbolize friendship...

Maybe yellow? That's warm and friendly, right?

He is secretly loving every second of this. :c

[grand_lotus]

That's stupid. You can't catch dreams.

Aww yeahhhh, the master's getting crafty. :3

[easy_aspie]

Says who!

Strikes readable with effort

[grand_lotus]

Father says It's just obvious. Dreams are only in your head. You can't catch them or change them or make them go away or follow them.

[easy_aspie]

Well, I'll be honest, I may not be the most knowledgeable person ever, and yeah, dreams are only in your head, but - dreams are also only as important or unimportant as you let them be.

I have a question regarding the t-shirts being used for the tye-dye. Where were they made? What company produced them?

Are they American Apparel?

[easy_aspie]

Hi, hello, great to see you're interested in the tie-dye! That's a really good question. I just checked the tags - they're apparently Hanes "Beefy Tees", whatever that means. 100% cotton, in case you were wondering or, I dunno, have skin issues or something.

[triggered_it]

[Pff. Like Adrian Veidt would ever wear a tie-dye t-shirt.] No, I just wanted to silk-screen a shirt for a friend, actually. That way, he doesn't have to exploit the workers anymore. [Yes, he's talking about O'Brien.]

Thanks anyway, though.

[easy_aspie]

[Shut yo mouf, no one is too cool for rainbow-tastic hippie love! NOT EVEN ADRIAN VEIDT.]

Oh.

Well... I don't know that, um. That particular brand is any better manufacturing-wise than the one we have. But of course, suit yourself.

You know what you could do, is re-use something you already have - that way you definitely wouldn't be exploiting anyone, you'd be recycling.

[greatlightother]

Dream catchers?! Oh, I think I've seen those!

[easy_aspie]

Probably! It's a hoop with a sort of woven, spider-web-ish pattern, and you can decorate it with beads, feathers, whatever you like. They're surprisingly easy to make, too!

[greatlightother]

I'd like to learn that!

[easy_aspie]

Great! Feel free to drop by the cabin any time today, and I'll show you how it's done. :)
