My plan is to post a series of scans, likely not to be daily. Occasionally is enough. This first one is of two objects from my inspiration board. It turned out to be a sunny day, so I thought some yellow was in order. Need more yellow in your life? Check out this great vintage flour canister over at How Now Design’s Etsy shop…
or this fun onesie in my Etsy shop.
I have a virtual table at Poppytalk Handmade’s current “Mother’s Day and Kid’s Market,” and today mine is the featured studio on Poppytalk. If you’ve ever wondered what my workspace looks like, check it out here!

As you can see, these things haven’t made their way to the cork board yet. Until recently they were in a pile on a table, just waiting for their connectedness to be discovered. The postcard in the middle is an image by Jane Hammond. I love her three dimensional collage prints. When I saw her speak about her work last fall she described a visual “lexicon” of images she continually recombined. That swatch of lovely pink fabric is probably a remnant from my Chocolate Canvas Reversible Kelly Tote . I still have a bit more of it-perhaps to be turned into another pocket or some headbands!

This corner of the cork board attracted all things turquoise and words. There’s enough material here to inspire a story! See how this collection inspires the work in my Etsy shop.

I wanted to share a few sections of the cork board in my studio. I like to arrange my collection of materials experiments, swatches of color and interesting objects so that every now and then I can go to my board for an exercise in editing and recombining. When it comes to collage, rarely does anything I assemble become permanent. When I make an arrangement of papers or objects it’s hard to commit to just one arrangement; as soon as pieces are settled into a spot, another possibility emerges. I usually enjoy the process of testing and discovering combinations more than the end product. I’m curious to know- are there any makers- of- things out there that like their product more than the process of creating it? If so, what do you make?
