    Thank you iamrushmore! I used to shop yard sales every weekend and you wouldn't believe my accumulation. It's ridiculous! But, I must say that I'm glad I did it back when, because now...where I live in Colombia...there ain't no such thing as a yard sale. :(

    Absolutely the most stunning stacks! Very clever and imaginative. I've inherited all my mother's and grandmother's knitting needles and crochet hooks and I love looking at them (and I don't knit either) but now you've inspired me to consider some kind of art work with them. Maybe I could incorporate them into my assemblage work. Thanks for visiting my stacks. This is fun, isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  72. bohemiannie! artSeptember 21, 2011 at 9:14 PM

    Thank you Carol! None of my ancestors were knitters so I've picked all of these up at yard sales hoping that one of these days, I'll use them! I'd love to see your needles in your assemblage! And YES! this has been lots of fun.

    Hi hun, I love your stacks. I've come back to this post a couple of times wondering whether to enter this after seeing it here & then about 10 of my art/idea/doodle journals I have stacked on my trucks. I looked at them a few weeks ago thinking how 'arty' they look and I should pic them, but alas never got around. Thanks for sharing, and coming over to say hi, please do let me know if you make some recycled journals hugs jenny x
