....... finding some cheap materials:
That is the problem. I live in England. Prices on craft materials go from 2/3 again to over double what you pay in the USA. Even if I ordered from the US, the postage would make things worse.
I am alos very OCD when it comes to doing this kind of thing. If I think about making a dio, I do extensive research first, pulling multiple pictures from books, films and teh internet. I then start looking at materials. If I see something really good, that is what I would use. I would never settle for a cheaper material, as the finished article would not be what I am capable of making, and I would not be happy with it if I cut corners. Just the way my mind works.
