We're just about to enter yard sale season around here, and I figure I
can pick up quite a few bargains in the way of backdrops and props. I

Thanks for the tips, John & Bruce!

When I made my first DIY backdrop, I bought a King-Size Martha Stewart
white sheet from K-Mart (they were on sale REALLY cheap while she was in
the slammer) and mixed up RIT dyes in a bucket & slung it on with a
paint brush. It's certainly washable.

Keep in mind what David Hobby (The Strobist) often does with a
background: gaffer tapes it to a wall. No stand required. Don't be
tempted to use duct tape -- you shouldn't need to ask why. :-)
I mentioned the backdrop thing to an artist friend and she said it's
fairy easy to create random mottled

Beautiful, Bruce.
That background is something else. I'm just about to put together a DIY
