" Bottom line is, is you don't need it, it's clutter and it needs to go" ~ Charisse Ward
Yes, it is time to purge my hoard of miniature bits and pieces that I have overly collected. I have been doing this for some time now and still have quite the stockpile. At some point in my miniature creating career I started doing 'assemblages' of things. That required me to acquire a s**t bunch of stuff in case I might need it the next time one of these projects called me. So every odd and cheap little thing went into the pile. I could use this for that and that for this. Well, you see. The table below came out of the stash of stuff.
I'm not calling myself a hoarder, but...
This kind of thing can get out of hand. Its hard to stop, like chips. In the end I just have too much and I need to weed it out. It distracts. It beckons. It keeps me from the hundred other projects in my head. Lately I have been pulling it out piece by piece and turning it into something else. My problem is that when I come across a pile of stuff that I am willing to part with I start fiddling with it until it becomes something else.

An
inexpensive metal tea set that came out of a lot of miniatures that I
won on eBay became this spooky, ghostly tea set magically pouring
itself. I have done many of these in the past in different variations and every witch needs a set like this. This reminds me of the enchanted muggle things in the Harry Potter books.

SO...what does your hoard look like? Tell me.
My hoard definitely does NOT look like yours! Lillian.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It does not start out like this. If you saw my hoard you would feel much better about yourself.
ReplyDeletePromise.
I am also a mini hoarder for those "someday" projects....but nothing like yours. Amazing what you have done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I would say, have another look at that stuff. See what comes up...
ReplyDeleteI love what you are doing with the clutter part of your stash. Now I have a zillion new ideas.
