Summer's bed is visible in the scene where they talk in bed (obvious). It's make with black iron bars, and it has blinking lights at the top (I'll talk about the lights later).

I was absolutely in love with this bed. I found it so classy! I looked around everywhere for something similar, but all I could find was iron beds with complex ornaments.

So what did I do? I went straight to the source! I ordered a custom-built bed from an artistic blacksmith! After three months waiting, I got a bed the way I wanted. It's beautiful!

The dressing

This scene passes quickly, and to be honest barely enough to see what's on the dressing table. Summer is there, sitting, playing with some necklaces and thinking about life.

I did not find any frames with these four spaces, so I bought a simple frame at a handicraft shop and asked them to make the divisions, afterwards I painted everything with pale beige. It was not perfect, but I liked it.

I bought the keys at the Elo7 site. The keys that are not really old, they're replicas.

As they were golden brown, I decided to aged them, sprinkling a little paint black spray. This is the final effect. Good right?

Tsuru Tree

Finding this tree branch was very difficult! I simply could not find a good enough branch. Either they were too thin or were too ugly ... To give you idea on my madness level: one day I left home with a broom, in the case I found a beautiful branch near here which I could not reach. 8-P

One day I got tired of being the crazy tree girl on the street, and turned into the crazy tree girl on the internet (even though searching the web for sites selling branches, and sending them through the post mail, doesn't sound a good idea) . Then, in one of those moments of inspiration I thought, "Why not make a tree branch myself??" Then the ideas flowed like butter on a warm bread!

I searched for a tutorial about making wire trees, and found one teaching how to make small trees. It was basically what I had to do, only bigger.

It is made of twisted wire to form the branches, masking tape, and colorful spray. I confess that when I came across that big wire roll I almost regretted the idea. But after a lot of pain in the back, pierced hands and twisted wires, the result was nice! The good thing is that I could do almost the same shape of the tree from the movie! X-D

Then came the origami tsurus. Note, I also did not find any store that sold origami paper in my town. And even after ordering origami paper, I still had to learn to make the tsurus! :-P

After losing almost a whole bag of origami paper trying to make the foldings, I made it! The sacrifice was worth it, the result was great! \o/
