noivern:

i wanna play with clay but idk how you like get access to a kiln or get a kiln or anything and ive never even worked with glazes n shit before but i imagine that gets expensive but i WANT

Kilns are expensive, you’re right- but instead of spending a grand plus on one, go to your local community center or art center! Instead of spending a shitton on community college classes and having to follow someone’s curriculum in order to have access to a kiln, or even more to rent my own studio plus kiln and supplies, I’m spending 250-300 every two months on a community art center class where I get to do whatever the hell I want in order to build my graduate portfolio. Its still money, but in terms of artistic freedom and relative cost, its A plus

So, like many tarot readers, you’ve fallen prey to the decklust bug.
The decks, they are many.
Your shelf space is lacking.
What to do?

Did you know that those old card catalogue drawers are a perfect fit for most standard sized decks? 

Larger decks can fit too….

Deckbags…

Available for a steal at an antiques market or yard sale (if you’re lucky).
You too can embrace your inner librarian, and save your decks from a dusty shelf, or hazardous heap of deck bags.

They come in all sorts of sizes:

and different materials, too:

… even better, they make an excellent surface for a tiny altar…. not shown ; )

Be warned, the empty space encourages new decks to arrive and fill the gaps!!

Upcycling FTW

This is an abbreviated version of my first post about upcycling.
