The Hunting and Gathering Report



Yes, it's back! My reportage on hunting and gathering for mixed media splendor has been lacking lately.
 

Today I made up for this by going to a fabulous flea market in the St. John's area of Portland. I was lucky to have with me the amazing Alicia Caudle, a wonderful artist and lovely person. Check out her blog and shop!

Alicia and I have been corresponding for years and finally got it together to meet in person today. Alicia also does web design and did my new therapy site.

Here's what I came away with:

A book by Edwardian humorous writer Jerome K. Jerome-I'll be reading this one.


Cover of Jerome's Book

This is the inner back cover of a Catholic missal given to the owner in 1955. 





Vintage dictionary



An old stamp catalogue

I also scored a vintage potato masher with a green handle. I used to have one but who knows where it went...I'm going to try using this one for texture in cold wax.
