A few pix of all the lovely loot I scored last week when we went to
Art from Scrap in Santa Barbara. Wonderful tile sample boards, 4 inch(!) long brads, old paint brushes (for assemblages), small copper tags and red metal cavalier hats attached to bolt heads - who knew?!
The paper haul - old postcards, several sheets of Victorian Scrap, and a marvelous poster of New Mexican Santos art.
And..... wait for it............. FEET!, yes, feet! For years I've been trying to find feet broken off of old statues, but in vain. Now, with the help of paper clay and paint, I can make my own. Brilliant! Now you see why we
love this place.

OMG...what treasures. As they asked in FIELD OF DREAMS..."Is this heaven?" "No, it's Iowa...or Art From Scrap." The tile samples...Victorian scrap...the list of blessings just grows longer...don't you love it? xoxo
