How amazing collections come about


Usually
my most successful collections
come about
when I have a
themed obsession

There is normally
only 1 during
5 month cycle

This cycle
determines
all my decisions

color choices

ebay searches
research
applied techniques

philosophy

brooches


Now not only do I have a main obsession
but
TWO
side obsessions

I'm terribly depressed
these obsessions
have to wait
and
possibly
disappear forever

My education
is
slowly
killing me
