a glacier
a polar bear
a white wall
vanilla icecream
-edit: -but don't cry, you could do what I did whenever I had an assignment due & was having trouble finishing it. Stay up all night drinking with your friends until you have an idea.

| A white bedsheet if you need a large background or a piece of posterboard if you need a small one. |

You'll need to iron the heck outta the sheet.

Get a roll of butcher paper, or visit your local camera store and see if they have background papers.
If it's small stuff, I've had success at craft stores getting any number of cool papers that are used for scrapbooking. Usually only in 8.5x11, though.

| You don't really need to iron. Just very lightly spray 9or mist) with H2O and then trow it in the dryer for 5 minutes. If the background needed is smaller, invest in a post it brand flipchart easel pad. They are 2.5 x 2 feet and has an ahesive strip to stick on wall, etc. 30 sheets a pad. |

| And the advantage of using a bedsheet is that you're more likely to have one laying around the house... |

| I've used the shower curtain in my bathroom as a backdrop before... it works pretty well if your lighting in your bathroom is decent. :) |

You can actually use any brightish color that's not present in your subject, then use hue/saturation adjustment layer in Photoshop to lighten it and shift it to white, probably by desaturating.

LOL. Too bad we don't have any white sheets in the house. |

Hi,
If you can get it, a piece of Tyvek House Wrap makes a great background, is waterproof, and can be stapled, glued etc. Have Fun! |

cheer up emo kid, anything white you can use. a bed sheet, posterboard, white fabric, computer paper, table cloth, (with the right lighting) you can even use a furnace filter.
if you are about to cry of a project like that you really need to slow down. you will be ok, just breathe. |
