Another Scrap Exchange Haul
slide cards
Originally uploaded by marrael. Made a run into Durham yesterday to drop art materials off at the Scrap Exchange, and then pick up more frames (for my Raleigh art showing at the Colony Theatre), spending over $13 at SE, more than I'd ever spent there before. The haul included 5 empty picture frames (3 large, 2 small), a box containing 80 empty slides (and me not knowing what I was going to use them for), 2 balls of colorful string and 1 spool of red thread , that was used yesterday to convert a shapeless babydoll dress into a mid-calf skirt. ( God I hope the fashion trend that spawned the original item never comes back.)
Wrote a column about spring cleaning in the artist's studio (will let you know when it's online), went through my drawer of mis-prints to see if anything was salvageable, and realized, DUH, of course it was ALL salvageable, because I had empty slides waiting to be used. Voila! "New" business cards.
I love the Scrap Exchange...
