My latest crafts project involves a character who wears sunglasses with purple lenses. So I went out a week or so ago to get some supplies. I was browsing through Target when I saw one of their employees restocking the shelves. Conversation went something like this:

"I need a sheet of translucent purple plastic. Do you have anything like that?"
"You mean for crafting?"
"Yes, actually."
"I'm sorry. We don't carry anything like that. We have a small crafting section over there, but it's mostly construction paper and glitter."
"Oh. Well, thanks anyway."

I proceeded to the next aisle. School supplies! That might just...

*ding*

3 ring binder dividers. Translucent plastic sheets in many colors. Including a nice purple. Strong enough to not rip or break like cellophane wrap but still thin/soft enough that I can readily cut it. Perfect.

Grabbed it. Headed for my next item. Passed the lady I'd just been talking to.

"Hey, look. You do have it!"
"Those are binder dividers. They're not for crafting."
"So? I can still use them! :D "
"Oh. Well, uhm, I'm glad you got what you wanted."

You, my good sir, are as resourceful as Chell. But now I'm curious as to what character wears purple sunglasses because those are some snazzy shades!

It's one of the My Little Ponies. Name is Vynil Scratch. Looks very cool.

(Making stuff for Thunt and his family. His sons are Bronies.)

Axel is also a brony, as are many of us.

We know Vinyl Scratch, but had no clue her shades were purple. Now we do! :D

You have great tastes in craft projects!

Will there be pictures when you're done?

[hatman]

Pictures? I wasn't planning on it. I wanted them to be a surprise when Thunt and family opened the box. I mean, they do know how the ones I made for myself look, and which characters I'm doing for them, but still...

[not_a_sniglet]

Ok. :D I just figured I would ask.

Also, would you mind describing Vinyl Scratch for me? Not the one
you're making but her in general? We know the pony, but nobody ever
described her.

Vinyl Scratch is a white unicorn. She wears sunglasses with purple lenses. Her pony mark (the symbol appearing on her side below her tail) is a musical note. Her mane and tail are stripes of light and dark blue.
