While I haven't had much time for creating anything recently, I have found time to walk my dogs nearly every day down by the canal or the alleys in the neighborhood. That and the occasional 'thrift shop therapy', means that I'm constantly COLLECTING…. junk, jewelry, broken glass, plastic, pottery or pretty china plates that I get to break, all for the off chance that another man's trash could be the treasure I need to make a work of art. I'm always so proud when I find something (that I think is) really cool. The flywheel, all those strings of beads, the big chunks of blue glass, anything that glitters…Here's some of my collection.

Neat and organized? Well, I have my moments, but not many of them!
