Reorganizing causes creativity!

This week I have been reorganizing and rearranging my studio. I have gone through mounds of paper and culled things I no longer like, have given away the zillions of fabric scraps I can't seem to throw away, and have re-situated my three large work tables into a U shape for better accessibility. All this cleaning up sparked a creative streak in me. 

I realized that little left-over scraps of paper from the Cricut are a great jumping off point for my art as seen below in my Gypsy Girls Trio






I also have quite a supply of re-cycled materials such as cards, printed cardboard, and old calendars. The four cards below were layered on top of an old Asian calendar I received two years ago from my local Hibachi restaurant.



These last two pieces are a testament to my latest fascination with Steampunk. Enjoy!

  4. Marnie,

    Every time I decide to clean up I get the same desire to make something with what doesn't look like it will work anywhere else.

    Love every one of your pieces, you were quite prolific with your scraps.
