from scraps...

so many scraps, dried grasses, preserved "stuff" from the garden, notes, photos, all miniature reminders of grand times from the past... 

and the perfect day with a mood to match; allowing the imagination to ride high while thinking of special times still to come...

 and then the urge to put all this on paper, in haste, before the magic disappears...

the many scraps, the dried grasses, the preserved insects found in the garden, the torn old photos cracked and stained and the joy to collage them all together... that's what my day off produced!
