shamrockgirl18 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I've been working on this little roombox (actually inside a little suitcase-type box) off and on for a few months. It's not my typical style, but I wanted to try something new. It has kind of a Southwest-llama theme. I like how it looks so far, but I feel like it needs more accessories. I don't want anything super-modern like a laptop but I did order an old-fashioned looking alarm clock for the nightstand. I also think it needs a (non-working_ lamp but I cant find one that fits into the theme well. What would you add to this scene? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 You could make a lamp from a bead and paper shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Articles of clothing? A couple cookies on a plate by the drink? One would have a bite taken out of it, of course, some crumbs. A radio or record player? Plants? Maybe a cactus? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grazhina Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 18 minutes ago, havanaholly said: Who collects life-sized llamas and puts them in the bedroom? A teenager? A little girl? A grown woman with a thing for llamas? In the town down the road someone kept llamas in their back yard during the summertime, then sent them somewhere to overwinter. Maybe they kept big stuffed llamas in the house because they missed having them around in January? You never know. It's a funny ole world. Clothes, dolls, stuffed animals (other than llamas) a llama coloring book & crayons, shoes, hats on a hatrack, an open board game, a handbag, a tote bag, a poncho, a snack , an unfinished lunch (one of my kids once stashed a half eaten taco in his toy box), a pile of clean laundry on the bed - that's all I got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 A loom because it is really a South American alpaca. There could be some cloth started on the loom made with alpaca wool. Maybe some colorful skirts like a worry doll would have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I do recall a member on Small Stuff who raised alpacas for mini doll hair as well as the yarn she spun from their wool; someone like her is who I thought of when I read Grazhe's question. Maybe a hand spindle/ drop spindle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-life madness Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I think there needs to a copy of LLama , LLama, Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney ......Then check out this reading of it.

havanaholly Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Then there's the poem by Ogden Nash: The one-l lama, He's a priest, The two-l llama, He's a beast. And I will bet A silk pajama There isn't any Three-l lllama.* (Nash appended this footnote later)*The author's attention has been called to the type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
