We went to Urban Ore last weekend. For those of you not familiar with the Bay Area, Urban Ore is a place in West Berkeley where they buy and sell old stuff, from cutlery and glassware to furniture and cabinets. They have the oddest odds & ends--it's like visiting a large, mostly indoors, permanent yard sale. It's incredible the stuff one can find there.

I found these makeup sponges--like the ones used by professional makeup artists.


I have a whole box of the things... about 400 hexagons! Can anyone say painting, trade, LMAOs, and other fun things? I'm open to suggestions.

I also found these upholstery fabric swatches and I immediately thought, "purse material!":


At $2 each, I only got two, being a starving student... But I'm open to the idea of acquiring more for interested parties.

Coming soon: a few FOs. Probably after the semester's over, two days from now. OMG. I gotta get back to work.
