Stuff in the tubs

I have so many things I've collected over the years: for inspiration, mementos, photographs, clippings, articles, quotes, paint. I just today when thru one container with beads, tags for prices, pen with jewels, wire, more beads. airline ticket (used) to St. Maarten, brushes, plastic lids to use as palettes for painting, old credit cards, gift cards, sample cards to make lines in the paint, itty-bitty clothes pins, paper clamps, colored floss - very cool. Setting up a painting for a friend (at her request)... Don't usually paint for friends and family unless they request something specific. There is nothing worse than to give a piece of art you've made and can see they don't think it is nearly as cool as you do... Avoids hurt feelings and I know what I do is not for everyone..Mostly for me - I like it but ... I am so up for making art! Off to do it.
