Props on Paper

Props: "There are a number of other sites which have collections of downloadable paper props. You don’t necessarily need to search for theatre props; there are large communities of replica prop makers and role-playing game prop makers with all manner of documents available online."

The links on this article were filled with a lot of very helpful and detailed information. Not only did it explain things I would have never known how to, but it also gave me tips on how to improve things i already know how to do like aging paper. Sites like this can be so helpful because it is the smallest details that can make the difference between a good and a great production. If your audience sees that even your library cards look authentic they will remain completely immersed in the world you have tried so hard to create.

It is so important to remain historically accurate for a show. Having many websites to refer to is a great resource. This article has so many in it that this is super easy. Being able to refer to them will make the design of a show much easier and more practical.

This is an amazing collection of information. The devil is in the details and giving the means and ways to make things look accurate is priceless. I look forward to using some of these techniques in the future!

This is officially the most useful link I have ever seen on the green blog. No more using google to find sub-par images of not exactly what you want.

This is awesome!

This is a really cool and useful tool. I always love it when the Internet's ability to exchange information is used in s new and interesting way. On top of that historic can sometimes be extremely frustrating and difficult and putting in all in one place is literally a godsend.
