It is nearing the end of the year; and that means in January there will be a clean up and a cull of unused stuff including art material. This made me have a bit of a look at my different stashes of recycled material - how bad were they looking, how much chaos?
The the photos in this blog post do not show the whole range of stuff; but they do give an idea of the range of 'collections' I will be sorting through.
Lots of rusty bits

It will be a renewing and refreshing time as it helps me to think a bit more purposefully about what my art practice will be in 2017.
