| After a long week of creating collages, working on a quilt, and general fooling around with supplies, the floor of my studio resembled a garden of paper and fabric weeds. But as I was cleaning up, I couldn't bring myself to throw out these tiny treasures. Instead, I collected them in a jar and retrieved one of my favorite art supplies... matte gel medium. |
 |
| This stuff will stick anything to canvas or paper without leaving weird goobers or smudges. |

| Even if the collage is not something I would hang on my walls, it is so much fun to take close-up photos of interesting sections of the whole piece. The photo above is a bit of a statement itself. It would also make a great background for another piece. It can be enlarged and printed on paper or even on fabric. |

| I love the way this tiny scrap of fabric looks like a bulky hemp rope in this shot. |
 |
| Next time you have a pile of tiny trash, consider gluing it onto an old piece of cardboard. If you don' t have gel medium, just use good old Elmer's. Have fun discovering the masterpiece that was right under your feet. |
