Finders Keepers
Cleaning out, as I have recently done, has revealed all sorts of this and that - those things that came into my possession at one time or another. Neatly stored away (or not so 'neatly' stored) they have been sitting here waiting patiently for one of three things: a)to be given to someone who would actually use them b) to be thrown away as if they were not worth a thing c) to be used in something new, something unknown at the time of their rediscovery.
I'm not sure whether having a 'treasure' hunt in my own studio is a good thing or a bad thing. On the good side I say "Oh, I remember this -- I must use it". On the bad side I say "What in the world was I thinking".
And so a new-to-me series will begin -- hopefully using some of these 'finders keepers'. My trusty punch needle comes out, threads of all color and shade find their way to the top of my table and the fun begins...

What a timely pos! I was closely observing Alberta Algorithm just yesterday and wondering where in the world you procured the "this and thats" holding on her arms, decorating her shoes, hanging around her neck, and so on. Now I know! Could it be that these things gave you the idea for her, or was it the other way around? Either way, I'd go with option C above. I don't think they will go to waste!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you are up to now! Sly hints just don't satisfy--I'm eager to see what the punch needle can do!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your newly discovered Keepers will tell you want they want you to do with them...
ReplyDeleteWell, a change of season seems to be bringing on a lot of reorganizing, purging and new project everywhere in blog land. Your bits and bobs always brink something wondrous. We patiently anticipate....

I would love to be in your studio peeking over your shoulder as you uncover all these treasures!
