Can we ever be TOO resourceful, clever or frugal?

Here are a few items that make me smile or scratch my head.

50’s findings, unused brass ear wires, vintage crystals all mixed together

My design process is more of a “How can these opposite things work together, or how can I save this component from the dumpster”.

Vintage coffee pot, buttons and beads

No matter what I find, a wilted plant, an orphaned animal, or an interesting piece of metal, I try to imagine it in a new light.

I think the JMJ followers are so inspiring and creative. Each new entry gives me another idea to try, thanks JMJ.
