I hope you believe me when I tell you that I found all these little things the same day. It was actually a great day. One of those where the weather is perfect, every one is in a good mood, and you find the perfect things to create yet another garland.
It was also a great day because I saw my friend Jone (only for an hour or so), but enough time so we could talk for a little bit and hug each others.
I think this is a happy day found objects garland!
Lately I've been looking for anything rusty. I saw this and I'm now obsessed with trying to dye fabric using rusty objects. So far this is all I've been able to gather, but I think it will be a nice collection soon.
Do you look down and keep the things you find? Do you make something with it, or you just keep it in bottles or boxes?
Wishing you a great start of the week,
Giova
Ahh, I love this idea! Collecting little found objects is fun in the first place, but a garland of them would be lovely. And then I'd have an excuse to pick up those little toys in store parking lots!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't pick the toys from the parking lots?? I'm glad you liked this idea, and hopefully get to make one with your treasures, let me know?
DeleteCada vez me sorprendo mas con tus cositas. Ves? Creatividad. Buen gusto. Ingenieria. Tener en cuenta: ..."lo que natura no da, Salamanca no lo presta"...........!!!
ReplyDeleteayyy alabate pato que mañana te …. ayyy es que las tiras me encantan :)
DeleteMany of the things I find end up in my journal (if they are squashable) so when I go back and look I remember that day even without my words
ReplyDeleteMe too!! My journals are filled with pieces of papers or pressed flowers. It is nice to know you are a keeper of squashable things :)
DeleteUuuuu me encanta!!! Se ven divinas todas las cositas asi amarraditas!
ReplyDeleteuuyy si! Fue un dia de suerte con respecto a los tesoros encontrados, era como si se aparecieron con ese propósito!
DeleteHow wonderful that yo saw Jone! I love your idea. I do also bring home bits and pieces from whereever I go, especially wood, stones, cones, paper, flowers......
ReplyDeleteIt was really nice seeing her, even if it was for a tiny bit. Here is hoping I get to spend sometime with you!
DeleteI'm glad to know that you are also a collector of found items :)
Giova, you are a woman after my own heart. I too collect bits and bobs from the streets. It is amazing how much stuff you find when you start to look. My current favourite find are the metal bristles that break off street sweepers, these are used in my ecodyeing. I collect and use, although had not thought of a garland.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kerrie! It is indeed incredible all the things you can find and sometimes without even looking, or maybe I have been doing it since I was little that I have my radar well trained:) I'm going to check out these metal bristles, as I have never seen them here.
DeleteHa. Love this. I don't collect found objects or make Garlands but now I'd like to...
ReplyDeletefabulous and I want that horse:-)
