What to do with all that ephemera?
I just spied this fantastic assemblage on D*S… I love how ordered this collection is. I have a literately endless collection of found bits and pieces (as I’m sure many of you do as well) and I love this idea of “curating” our stashes. It is such a neat, organized, museum-like way to display the chaotic whirl of the universe around us. I maintain that we collect in an attempt to exert control — this seems like a lovely example, right?
PS, this effect comes from the excellent mighty magnets by Three by Three Seatle which you can purchase at Fred Flare. I use these at work (yes, my office has metal walls) and they are indeed mighty!
