Tent

I built a big tent in my apartment to escape the real world for a bit.
But I love it so much I don't know if I'll ever come back!

  8. That's so funny. I literally JUST posted a poem/story in which the main character has a tent in her bedroom as part of a dream (http://adelaidepoet.blogspot.com/2009/11/dream-geographers.html) and here you've got one in real life. You're my hero! :)

  15. How freakin fabulous is that!!!!!

    Are those sheets you used?

  16. Gorgeous! The top picture has a cool illusion going on: the lighting on the blue cloth makes it look like there are giant hands underneath the cloth. I spent a few minutes looking at it trying to figure out how you spliced the photos together. Anyone else see it, or should I lay off the coffee?
