Within Arm's Reach

That's what they said.  The Poobahs, that is.  At The Order of the Opus Gluei.

The challenge ACTUALLY is to make stuff out of whatever is

lying around from your last project(s).

Easy Peasey (WHERE did that saying come from anyways?) for me, cus I have bits and pieces

EVERYWHERE!

I

Mean

EVERYWHERE!

I'm not kidding.

So as soon as I saw what the challenge was, I sidled up to my worktable and rooted around and made ATC's.  Lots of ATC's.  Well, maybe not as many as Jana made, but pretty darn close, I would guess.

anyways.

And I only used what had been piling up on the table.

If you don't like ATC's, go have a cuppa somethin.  Cus you're about to be inundated.

1,2,buckle my shoe.

3,4, shut the door

5.6. pick up sticks7,8, um, who do we appreciate?

Hell, I don't know

9.10, I love men.

OK, it's become obvious I don't know the nursery rhyme.

But I do love to make ATC's.  Now what am I going to do with these?

I could paper my living room.

Hey, did you know when my daughter was little, she pronounced it "Livering Room"?

True story.  it was so darn cute I never corrected her.

She's smart though, she figured it out.

There's probably an ATC in this story somewhere.

Thank Poobahs for the inspiration.

Electra had a good time with this.

{PS, I won't give all credits, but feel free to email me if  you want to know about an element.  I will give a shout out to Maggie Hurley who created the sweet little owl in the armchair, and to Phenomenon1859 for the dress mannequin and the fairy in the jar.  They are both wonderful works of art.)
