When Things Don't Get Used

Part of why my studio got so filled up was because I have kept so many vintage items in their original packaging. That puts them in the "too good to use" category and the stock piling begins from there.
No longer. I am taking things out or off their packaging. These buttons are an excellent example. When I finally took a closer look at them I realized that there were stunning designs on the buttons in several metallic shades. They are a perfect addition for one of my altered books. I can even make a mold of one if I want to keep using it. They are all off the backing board now.

don't forget to scan the backing board, it would be a great frame for something in photoshop!

I agree with Nancy, save the card too! I am also going through stuff today. Weeding out- keeping the best and letting go of the rest.
