Part of my putting things straight included organizing various bits I collected for different ideas. It is important to organize your ideas. I write some down, but also gather things for them. Either way, I won’t forget them. But I think the gathering keeps them fresher and also makes the piece easier to begin. I now have two Idea Boxes that contain various sizes of plastic zip lock bags for each idea. The first large box got filled quickly.
Some of the Ideas Inside the Boxes
A handmade paper heart book, A Pocket full of Posies, From the Cradle to the Grave, They Get You Coming and Going, Got a Match? My Ass Your Face, A history of Bathing beauties. There’s no subject for the cradled board with the pink ribbon – yet. I do know it will be a summery girl centric piece.
