You'll think...

 ...that I've finally lost my other mind.  I'm back into the mini travel journal, and decided for these last two signatures, I'd set myself some crazy parameters and restrict myself to using what's in one drawer of my rolling storages for each mini collage.  With 15 drawers, how could it go wrong?  

Images are all approximately 3 1/2" high by 2 1/8" wide.

One drawer had layers of peeled bark from a tree somewhere in the world - can't remember where it came from, but it was most unusual.   The other 90% of the drawer was filled with metal findings, most of which emigrated here from South Africa with a friend of mine.  

Another drawer was chockablock full of painted (and as-yet-to-be-painted) dryer sheets in such a range of colours it amazed me.  I want to play more from this one.

A tiny deck of cards and some black gessoed embellishments were the sole occupants of the next drawer.  Somehow the gears seemed to be a good fit with this long-nosed Joker.

 

Another drawer had a huge range of oddments including webbing in various sizes and colours, and some puzzle pieces that seemed to call out to me.

The next drawer nearly did me in, holding only metallic hair foils in bright colours, and some near-dried-out Pebeo Cern Relief.  It was a huge challenge using every hand muscle I owned to get some scribbling done on this.  While it appears to be finished, it'll be a while before it's dried and the book can be closed on it.  ;-) 

A drawer full of  'painted' mop-up paper towels was another one that had me salivating.  More fun to be had in here, I'd say.

It's always fun to find forgotten bits of things - this roll of black relief flowers/leaves is so pretty and seemed a perfect pairing with the fanciful feathers nearby.

I also managed to get much further on grandson Owen's Dreaming Pikachu birthday painting.  For those of you who are Pokemon-challenged, this character recharges while sleeping and uses all that electrical energy for good.

And I'll leave you with a couple of last-days-of-summer images.

I hope you've had a great week, and are looking forward to autumn in your area.  Happy creating, all!
