I went through a similar process on Monday. I found a bunch of little sketches I'd made just doodling, some pastels I forgot I had, and some references I also forgot I had.
I just simply hate cleaning and with 2 kids it's a massive chore, especially when they were very tiny.. so everytime I cleaned up to make it tolerable I always drew before and after.. the reward let me get through the cleaning
“A search for creative treasures” … this speaks to me! I believe that all of the art supplies that we acquire & hold dear to our hearts have meaning and purpose, but the challenge is the “when!” It’s similar to people…it’s all about who and when your paths cross. Your words made me smile b/c I love me a positive slant! Have a great weekend & thank you for the kick in the pants to clear a shelf!

So great! The clutter can be rich and the process itself is gratifying...as long as it is 10 minutes and not all morning.
The timer is key!
I love this idea!! Clutter is always an inhibitor of “starting” For me. I love how you combined these two goals. Clean/create!! 👏👏👏
let me know if it works for you!
This is SO GOOD! Thank you!
thank you, have you tried it?
I did!!! It was a neat trick for me and I found all sorts of treasure to give to my sister who is just starting out with bookmaking!
