Art supply stores can be intimidating. Places like A.C. Moore and Michaels are bursting with color, fabric, wood, glass, scarves, feathers, all kinds of crafts do dads. Tiny canvas, humongous canvas, brushes of all sizes, books on creating every conceivable object, so many ways to put art on a surface, to construct and beautify and explore.
There are t-shirts, bags, caps, aprons, laundry bags, all waiting for decoration. Glass bowls and containers of all shapes screaming, color my insides. Just walking the aisles unleashes one's creative juices.
One should prepare for the overwhelming imbalance of women to men. The men's room at these places are the cleanest on this planet because hardly any men use them.
Best of all are the weekly coupons--40, 50, even 55% off. Spend $30, get $10 off. Accumulate 200 points on your plastic scan card and you get a $10 certificate. I got a $70 wood three shelf bookcase for less than $20 using a couple of coupons.
Plus they stock two shades of magenta.
If more people knew about this there would be less violence in the world. Unless you and some woman spot the same wooden birdhouse and there's only one left.
