Mr. Tiger Pants, rolling around in a mass of random ribbon! Randy needed some drum parts from Guitar Center, so I gladly volunteered to go get them.  While a trip to Guitar Center can be fun in itself, it also gave me an excuse to visit the newly expanded Michael's, which opened right next door a few months ago.

We picked up an unopened "ground landscape kit" (or, if you prefer, "trousse de paysage au sol").  This will enable me to create various landscaping textures, such as grass or low shrubbery, and will come in handy for some upcoming architecture projects in Plastiqueville (more about that soon).  

But the score of the day came in two big bags of random ribbon bits for $2.50 apiece.  I love bags of random bits; A.C. Moore, back when they were still in business, used to sell bags of paper pieces in various colors and sizes, which I found endlessly inspiring.  This maelstrom of ribbon promises to do the same!

Mr. Tiger Pants insisted that I throw the whole mess inside the studio box, so he could roll around in it all while I made pictures.  I'm not sure this is the most dignified use of Mr. Tiger Pants' time - but it was his idea, so what am I supposed to do?
