A report on how I made my recent Spiral Staircase with Hanging Flowers for MiniLife, which I’m pretty proud of. (This is also my first blog report ever, so I hope it’s ok and would love to hear from you)

First, I used these programs in Mac OS 10:
1. Google Image Search
2. Google SketchUp v.6 (Google SketchUp is free and a great resource for un-copyrighted 3D models!)
3. Adobe Photoshop CS2 (Tools: Magic Wand, Image Size, Layer Editing, Layer Style: Stroke and Save For Web)

Ok, so I want a spiral staircase in my home. I start by searching the existing ML marketplace cause I don’t really want to spend a half hour of my life making an object… but none of the staircases fit my space (1×1 please!), style or standards (is it too much to ask that objects to fit to scale and rotate correctly?).

With nothing pre-made in the MiniLife Object Marketplace, I start by doing a Google Image Search for ‘spiral staircase’ because I don’t have a model Spiral Staircase to photograph…. read the entire article here

Thanks for your interest!
