We are curious beings I think.

I love the rain, we need rain here in SoCal. 

But, we have had horrendous fires, people have lost lives, 

homes and so with the rain comes mudslides and more tragedy. 

I don't have answers but I am concerned. I believe in prayer.

"I am curious on how you store your mail art ephemera. 
 Do you have a huge cache and do you save it by color? 
Or do you just go with what comes in weekly? :-)"

Friend & Seattle artist John Arbuckle asked and I replied:  
"Okay, you gave me an idea for a blog, I will take 
some pictures and go into it. But, lets just say, I start off 

fairly organized and then use what's handy?" 

I took 25 photos which is no doubt, overkill, but 
feel free to skip to the smile when you've seen enough?
I do a lot of collage ... and use a lot of tissue.

Ive been a tissue collector for a long while, and I have a lot!

   I use plastic boxes from Daiso.

and baskets.

I guess you know I love paper, all kinds.

A while ago, I bought a 26" x 19" x 16" - five drawer chest on wheels to house some different kinds of papers and ephemera.

 

 

stencils

labels etc.

special papers

ephemera

tags

The green bin is full of tissue paper and I drag it to classes.

Junk mail and more baskets.

I do a lot of postcards ...

 

 

This is a small room with high ceilings, space is a premium. 

I am showing only the paper storage aspect. 

If anyone is interested in seeing more, I will oblige.

I apologize if it's already TMI? 

 

A smile for Tuesday ...
