<p>Hi Sally,</p>
<p>Thanks for the photos. Yep, that's a pretty neat looking workspace. Not to mention a great utilization of a small space.</p>
<p>And that's a fine looking scrap collage. </p>
<p>I agree, hanging on to those small scraps seems a bit insane at times. Usually, I let them accumulate then at some point there is a purging. When I keep too many scraps around, I often find myself drawn to the same paper/color/texture over and over again. On the one hand, there's nothing at all…</p>

<p>I don't keep scraps often, but I struggle with that because after I'm done with a piece, the scraps left behind somehow seem more beautiful than the thing I just put together. A lot like Matthew expressed above. Yet hanging on to all the little scraps (often with glue on the backs of them) feels a bit insane. Where to put them? How to find them again?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyway, scraps are near and dear to my heart. This was a really fun thread to read. And a big thanks to all who shared.</p>

<p>scraps to me seem to have more possibility than intentional pieces found. its more about shape and color than content of image with scraps at least for me. plus there is a sense of problem solving with scraps. how to work them into a piece without modification of the scrap. its a very interesting process. i will post more pictures of scrap pieces. i'm actually working on a whole series for an upcoming show in October where i'm just using scraps and building more abstract collages. i will post a few of those very soon.</p>

<p>Matthew, welcome to the site and thanks for the scraps photo. Interesting how, through a process of selection and placement, scraps become more than just scraps. I have to admit, though, that the only things I find on my floor are old popcorn kernals, and unidentified pieces of broken black plastic.</p>
