Art from bits and pieces...

If you are like me, you have a difficult time throwing out scraps of fabric, lace, tatting and other bits when you are done with a project. 

I tend to throw these bits and pieces in a box....  and every few months, I open it with the intent of cleaning it out (which means:  discard some things, keep only the "good" stuff)... but most of the time I either (a) close the box back up without touching a thing, or more often (b) start pulling wee pieces out as inspiration takes root for yet another project.

Such was the case this past weekend.   One of my objections when I relocated my studio to the upstairs was to get rid of things I no longer use.   

So I took out my box of bits and pieces... today was the day!  I was going to pull out just a few special little pieces and the rest was going into the trash! 

Really. 

Truly. 

This is what I ended up doing...

 

Does it look like I got side-tracked?

 

Well, maybe just a tiny bit.

 

 
And once I started, I couldn't stop! 

These petite fabric cards/tags were such fun to make...

 

Did I make a dent in my box of bits and pieces?

Not even a scratch; even after making a dozen+ of this pretties.

I mean, you are only using tiny, tiny bits...

 

So what to do now?

1.  send some to friends

2.  put a few up for sale in my Etsy shoppe

3.  make more!
