Skin, Bones, Skulls and Teeth

The top drawer belongs to Cindy Shepard of the Rowdy Grandma blog and also has an Etsy store Cyndali . Here is what she has to say about this drawer. "The first one is my bone drawer, seems I am not so weird after all everyone has a bone drawer these days....cool!! The other items in the drawer are some old, gooey fishing worms (they feel really slimy), and of course one of may favorite art mediums.....snake skins from my Boa, Diana. There are also a few loose teeth in the bottom of the drawer."

Once again, before you know it, you have a collection of something. Who knows where these items will end up....

The bottom 2 are mine. I got the teeth from grandparents and estate sales. Can you believe, estate sales? Most of the bottom ones were found on a railroad track. By the way, railroad tracks are a great source for bones.

Mixed media and altered art artists do collect and use some of the oddest things. Don't you agree?

Dolls

Well it appears that we all still like to play with dolls. The dolls in the photo at the top belong to the drawers of Margaret V. Estate sales are a great find for litlle bits of treasures.

The drawer below belongs to me. I once found a jar full of Barbie heads. Bonus...

Dead things...bones, bones, chicken and bones...

Lisa Vollrath of Ten Two Studios has been kind enough to share some photos of her drawers with us! Now she isn't one of the little people by far, but I'm not complaining!

I'll have to share my favorite drawer first! Dead things, skulls and bones! Here is what Lisa has to say about this drawer...

"I call this my Dead Things Drawer. Inside, you'll find plastic skull beads in all different sizes, a couple of small plastic skeletons, bones that have been cleaned and dried, some snake skins, and assorted plastic bugs and snakes. Any time I'm working on a piece that's dark and creepy, this drawer is open."

Thanks for sharing Lisa!

So, What's in your drawers?

Welcome one and all! Time for show and tell!

Everyone is publishing books about our studios, well, maybe not ours. Theirs. The elite artists. I want to see what is in the studios of the little people. You and me. Me and you. What I find missing in most of these articles is content. I want to know "What's in your drawers?" Looking at the studios is just a teaser. Show me what you have in your drawers.

So, show me what's in your drawers! Email me your pics and blurb to What's in your Drawers?

So take my polls, please leave some comments send me some pics... I'll post pics of some of my collections and hope you will send some of yours also.
