I just felt the need to empty these onto my scanner. I regretted it as it took a while to pick them all up again.
I'll be using lots of these at work soon.
this is equal parts my scanner sucks, this was too big for my scanner, and this is my first mixed media collage.
things used to make this:
film filter test strip, negatives, paper clips, staples, rubber bands, a ticket that i never used for a the dangerous summer show because i had an extra, AP magazine, an urban outfitters catalogue, transworld skateboarding magazine, watercolors, teen vogue, sharpies, sequins, double sided tape, tape, a stride wrapper, and a pen.

Just started putting out Christmas at my house yesterday. I have quite the love of felt and sequins.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 4mm in diameter, except the stars, which are 3mm and the sunburst sequins which are 6mm. The sunburst sequins are French and are known as "éclate de soleil" - "sunbursts". Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the "éclate de soleil" - "sunbursts" until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
