Strange Assortment = Play Opportunity
I went to my studio with the intention of putting things away. Honest.
But, then I noticed the strange collection of things on my table and I just had to do some experimenting. Here’s what I saw:
Some little plastic boxes that I’ve been saving because I thought they were cool:
Strips of torn fabric from a previous project:
And the glue I’d been using in my Sticky Fingers class:
I decided to use one box lid and see if I could get fabric to stick to its slick surface.
Yes! It worked!
I’m kinda in love with this little treasure box. I think it will become a gift box for someone at some future point.
Now for the second one. (I’ve got different ideas for it, though.)
What strange assortment of objects do you have lying around your studio?

P.S. These little boxes held my mini-moo cards, (half-size business cards.)
What a great ‘green’ idea !
What a quick little giftie!
Silly me, I just figured out you have on-line classes and e-books. Will you be posting your 2010 line up soon?
