Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.
I see… in your future… that you will want to make a Fortune Telling Machine after seeing the tutorial created by Laura Carson!
Poppets, you are in for a double treat! That Laura Carson is crazy creative! Not only is there a video tutorial, but Laura has also created a companion, printable tutorial for the video!
You would never know that the main component of Madam Rue’s Fortune Telling Machine is a Blank Altoids Tin.
A couple of my favorite parts of the machine: the table she created from a component normally used on the outside of a shadow box, and the little fortune hanging out of the slot. No, I won’t tell you how Laura made the table or the fortune slot. You’ll just have to view the tutorial yourself!
