Another Interesting Object

We have had some great donations and we are really excited about our collaboration. We can't wait to get started on our first piece, but before we do we would like MORE from you. PLEASE send us more objects. They don't have to be anything special, something that you are about to throw out, take to the tip, fluff from the bottom of your pocket, items languishing in a drawer or the back of a cupboard......All would be welcome. Let us search for the inner beauty of the mundane.
 We would particularly love to know if any of our fellow artists are still out there........show us some support and send us something....Please : )
Contact us......collection may be possible
Thank You (in anticipation)

A topical donation!!!!

Thank you to those of you who have already donated items!! And to those who haven't....keep them coming!..Please..We want LOTS of interesting...or even quite mundane... things! One donation received on Wednesday this week was from Libya, from Di in Bristol, who said about her object:

‘I’ve never really thought of it; I suppose I should keep it because it was a gift. If I think of Libya it doesn’t bring good memories. It was from Radwan, a young lad who came over who knew my son, we looked after him. He ran away from Libya to avoid joining the armed forces. He gave me the bracelet as a present. He’s gone off the radar – I don’t know what’s happened to him. I think he went back to Libya to see his parents.’
