Hmmmmm. Did i mention i like to collect things....wanna see a few of the things i like to collect.?
Plastic flowers from the 60's by Miriam Haskel. Yummy! I love the shapes, the colors, the way they layer....the way they look in my rusted out muffin tin wall tray thingy.
I also love, love , love old dice and old anagram game pieces...I don't have nearly enough of these. So the hunt continues 
Watch parts anyone?....man I love watches, old watches specificly. These babies find there way into my art all the time. I am constantly having to add to the collection becuase i do *actually* use them.
Then there is the collection of any vintage rhinestone jewlery. I do have a hundred or so pieces that i could wear, my favorite are the broken pieces that i can work into my collages or funky jewlery. I could stare at these baubles for hours, and be hypnotized by there prettiful-ness(not a word, I know, but i like the way it sounds)
Then there's the vintage pearls....wow. I can't resist them in any fashion. I have bin loads of them. Shoe boxes full (no lie). and i buy more. My husband has given up. he no longer gives me a hard time....now he feeds into my need to collect and joins me on the hunt.....so much better when there are two sets of eyes!
I really do use what i collect, that way i don't feel so guilty always adding more. Each little tid bit will someday make it into a project, a collage, perhaps a piece of jewlery. Bracelets are my most favorite to make....not that i don't do everything else. I just have an affinity for bracelets.
I make these to feed my muse...it is such a change from paper collage and product design. Touching all my treasures, bending wire, playing with all the findings...is so soothing to me.
So there you a have it, a random tidbit about me.
