Description .+ Overdose +.
For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.
Happiness adds and multiplies as we divide it with others.
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
- Aristotle

Really wanted to say thanks, first of all, from all the good reactions and nice comments from my previous photo collections. I was actually surprised some people found the true message behind my photos.

Sometimes it just feels like I'm living in illusion so secluded from the real world—but strangely at the same time I’m living in it. It sometimes feels as if I’ve lost sense of the real world, being too attached to my fictional world of bunnies, cookies, sweets, and love that covers up over everything bad that’s happening to the world.


NOTE: I am not promoting drugs, overdose, or drug overdose! Neither do I take drugs for medical or unwise reasons. The aspirins are symbolic as well as the title of this piece. Don’t take or do drugs children; they are bad for the soul D:

I’ll also be making a tutorial for the paper stars since so many people are asking.
Expect to see this on Saturday.

I'm beginning to get obsessed myself with these cuties! It's hard to find good paper to use, but it's worth it~

Lovely photos, very soft and bright colours makes this very pleasant to the eye

Very nice camera work, I like the idea of overdosing on happiness (if that is the message...I think it is, thats what I feel from it) but I think you should of done a few more different angles, you know what'd be cool, if you put them on a glass table and did a photograph from the bottom...I like those kind of shots, or maybe some shots of the pills and stars falling from the bottom, I think that can be done by suspending the bottle, like with fishing wire and set up the camera to do a shot with a really high shutter speed and have someone drop the stars and pills and take a few shots like that...I hope I'm making sense about it, I'm just saying it'd look kinda cool but you don't have to do it if you think it's oo much trouble (or just plain dumb)

I think I replied to this comment already D: But that could have been the time when my internet died and failed to sent some messages--so if this is a repeat reply, I'm really sorry.

But anyways, yeah, that's a good suggestion ^^ Unfortunately, I don't really have too many options with using glass tables and using high shutter speed cameras since the only real glass table with good lighting in the house is really short and all I have is a digital camera :c (I really want a better camera tho)

But thanks for the suggestions :] I'll try something else next time. ^^

Very cool pic. I have a question though. How did you only get that ONE section mto be bolded? Usually when I bold everything After is bolded as well. Mind telling me the trick please? It would make my deviation descriptions look SO much better! >w< THank you!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RainCookie In reply to Z0MB13C0W [2009-03-24 00:16:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

And as for the bold issue, try putting "" at the end of what you want to bold (without the *)

So for example:
<*b>This is what I want to bold.

But this part, I want regular text. It will be regular because I put at the end.
Make sure you take out the *'s tho.

RainCookie In reply to Luvana [2008-03-07 01:38:54 +0000 UTC]

Korean stationery stores have them...(ex. Morning Glory, Fancy Box, Sweet Heaven, etc.)

Pretty sure the Hello Kitty store (Sanrio) holds them too

I love this... for the concept and for something so simple such as the paper stars which remind me so much of my childhood.


as a child i used to fold these paper jars and stock them in used cookie jars just for fun and as gifts! its been a long time since i've done it and you've inspired me to do so again!

thank you!

Love stars, wishing stars, happy stars, they are full of wishes and hopes and good stuff, so overdosing on them wouldn't be too bad!

are the stars actually made out of paper, or are they actually little shaven bits of soap?
