What I Threw Out Today

I began September 21 2010 - To record of some ephemera I had collected before disposing of them

Don't know what to call it - maybe WORK REMNANTS


This big scissors belongs in the office part of my workroom and is used on a regular basis for many tasks. I just don't remember specifically why I included it with the images.
 This is a roll of fishing gut, supposed to be strong enough to catch a really big fish. However, we have discovered that it doesn't weather well. We use it for hanging items in the garden, including the recently painted set of cats that now peep in the window at me daily.
 This is sandpaper from my own 'blue tool box', and was used for cleaning/preparing all the metal items that were painted with black Hammerite, including the cats, but also the little candle-sticks to hold night-lights. Hope we might get a calm frosty night to use them outdoors.

This staple-gun (a gift from my god-child during my degree show) proved very useful for fastening the VELCRO to the gazebo when we installed the winter-covers on the ventilation space at the top of the windows.

The magazine of that Glasgow society that I mentioned in a previous posting. I read it cover to cover each month, always hoping to read more about Partick, where my great, great grandparents lived.
 This is my little battery-operated screw-driver, bought for doing the deck.
It's a bit light, but then, I usually get someone to help me with the heavy work.

This is my drill. I'm not very good at using it, but I always have it to produce whenever a helper says: "Do you have a drill?"

And this is my extension-lead. I bought it for use in my exhibitions, but it gets lots of 'non-art' use as well.





Think the images are now all dealt with. Will have to check. It will be nice to be back making new images from now one.
