Update: AC Moore Redemption

So I took another trip to AC Moore, and it restored my faith in the store hiring amiable people. I was still working on an art project for my Visual Arts class, (my asymmetrical, free-spinning mobile). So, after spending all afternoon researching how to make a mobile free-spinning and asymmetrical, and studying Alexander Calder's work, I packed up, grabbed my sketch, and headed off to AC Moore. This was my second trip there for this mobile, but this time, it went much better.

Once I got there, I flagged down an associate (albeit slightly dubiously), and asked him if he had any ideas on what I could put on a mobile to make it interesting. He immediately brought me over to the wood section, with all the little wood models. He started pulling out a couple and suggesting different themes for a mobile. Eventually, I settled on summer, and he then walked me around and pulled out a bunch of wood pieces, helping me decide on a fence, lawn chair, birdhouse, and picnic basket.

Then I asked him if he knew where I could get little decorations for the pieces. He brought me over to the section and we spent 10 minutes pulling out little plastic decorations to glue onto the pieces. Finally, after 45 minutes, I had all my stuff ready, and had had a great time.

This has completely restored my faith in AC Moore. :)

Here's a picture of my completed mobile:

I love it, and so did my teacher. I got an A in that class. =D
