Packrat Adventures

What do you get when you combine a prop master and a broken pen?

A glue and tape fix it job instead of a trashcan demise. I can't throw anything away. "I can fix that" is one of my mottoes. "I can use that" is another and "someone can use that" is yet another. My house is a revolving door for stuff. The minute a home is found for one thing a box of more stuff finds its way here. Lately I have been ebay-ing, etsy-ing, putting stuff on my website-- www.pickypackrat.com , craigslisting and linking what I can to FB. Once items have had a chance there then it is off to freecycle or goodwill.

If anyone would like to trade art materials please check out boxes under my FB profile. Feel free to let me know what art materials you have to trade as well so that we can all start clearing out our garages.

Christmas in July

It may seem a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, but if I don't get started on my holiday projects I will probably wait until the last minute before Christmas. As you can see from the 2 of the pix the Santa head was in pretty bad shape. I removed the polyfil, scrubbed it down, primed it and repainted it. Currently I am adding new hair, beard, mustache etc.
