How amazing collections come about


Usually
my most successful collections
come about
when I have a
themed obsession

There is normally
only 1 during
5 month cycle

This cycle
determines
all my decisions
grocery shopping
gifts
color choices
supplies
ebay searches
research
applied techniques
contacts
music
philosophy
hair color
brooches


Now not only do I have a main obsession
but
TWO
side obsessions


Main obsession

18th century goodness

shells
iridescence
powder
irregular scallops
Grey hair
glass trinkets
black glossy ink
curled feathers

spirals

I'm terribly depressed
these obsessions
have to wait
and
possibly
disappear forever

My education
is
slowly
killing me
