From the thoughts of Devon O'Neil

Prop Hunt

While I love our director Nikki, she sometimes asks the impossible. Have a look at the list of props she needs, then compare it to the junk I have to work with! She said, and I quote, “Just take one of those small things and squeeze it somewhere on the middle of one of those bigger things, that’s where I want everyone’s attention, right at the middle of it.” Care to lend a hand?

​

After that I need to make one more which suits her to a T.
