collections/obsessions...

posted by julie on Monday, April 30, 2007

i have really enjoyed people thoughts and posts on collections since Sharis and Lisas project last week!! I, of course, started thinking of my own...

rocks and stones
little elephants
pods and other found nature pieces
found papers and objects
used stamps
design magazines
tea cups and small jugs
Shelly has her collection of toys from Kinder eggs
and boxes, usually found...and then reused as in the picture above for showing other collections..
planning: a mini-art collection ;)

for me collecting is like a mini obsession...i get quite excited when i find a new piece to add to a collection...i wish we had second hand/thrift shops here...

   Found nature objects / found paper...I agree. And my "children" could support Shelly's collection if she likes (or would this spoil the idea);))(leave me a note). And I love to collect flotsam on the beach and stones out of rivers. Those are like gifts, with share my home for a while before I give them away again.
