Since I had almost nothing to do today at work, I spent the majority of the day surfing around LiveJournal, and then looking for beautiful things that I could possibly use in creating some sort of physical \ud83d\ude42 journal or altered book type-thing. I have so much STUFF lying around, stuffed into drawers, hidden in notebooks and portfolios and boxes, some of it ought to be able to be put to good use. I looked at a bunch of scrapbooking and art supply sites too and discovered that 1) there are a LOT of things out there, 2) I’m coveting a LOT of them, and 3) they cost a LOT of money. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
My sister, who works at Michael’s (that’s like Panduro for you Swedes, only on a super-size American scale) called me late in the afternoon, and when I told her about it, she told me to let her know what I want, and she can get it for me with her discount. !! \ud83d\ude42 Yay, Sarah! Since I can’t afford anything, it will have to be very carefully chosen. I’m going into Malm\u00f6 tomorrow as well, so maybe I can find a Panduro to look around in between the photography studio and IKEA.<\/p>\n
Then I wrote this poem, which is lame, but was fun to put together:<\/p>\n
Ephemera<\/b>
\npaper bliss buttons, skeleton leaves
\nfoil flakes, coastal netting, barkwire
\nribbon: salmon mulberry, red deco, tawny blue eyelash
\nharbor blue raffia, lemon sinamay
\nopals (frozen), eyelets (groovy), mother of pearl chips
\nmore ribbon: swirling stitches, java weave
\ndream strings in forest, butter and sunflower
\ncrushed paper in ladybug, pansy, cotton candy
\nsilver lock, pendant frame
\nand
\nalligator clip<\/p>\n
tiny gold clasp
\ntiny gold tassel
\ntiny gold key<\/p>\n
junque box<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
