Collect....

I say find what you love and collect it..... TO collect, gather, save, and treasure...For us to collect is all about the hunt and then the joy of being able to love and treasure for the time to come....
I love to find something and make a new purpose or renew a unique love , when people think "well now, there's a thought"
Have you thought about what our world might look and be like if we saved just a little more, reused it and threw away a little bit less..At the studio I love to create with what is no longer having purpose...
Be sure and check out the slideshow today I added to share, it is a fantastic little album from a vintage scrabble board. I cut the board down to 6 sections which worked to be 4 1/2 x 7... from there just let the imagine flow. I created with sanding, painting, inking (a fav), adding all the little goodies-most of which, are vintage. What's great about the project is it will stand as a great piece of art for us to admire and will be a forever treasure....With this project and with all your projects I encourage you to think outside the plan. Think outside the 12x12, 8x8, or just outside the embellishments!!
Never be afraid to create the idea on your own and not follow what the world is doing--there are many great ideas out there--don't be afraid to make your own.
Create & Collect like no one is looking and it will be treasured........................
