I have decided to extend my challenge tag to, “fix, finish and FIND!” Look what I found, yesterday!
This is a Carol Doak paper piecing box that I do not have! I found it in a thrift shop in Matthews, NC. $2! It’s in new condition and still has its CD of patterns in adjustable sizes.
I also found this:
Despite the title, there’s really not much else worth harvesting. I still thought 3 prints were worth the money. I feel a triptych coming on!

Tonight, I tried combining images to form a “scene” with my stencils. One boat, though, sailed too far down stream! I can fix that by moving the stencil slightly when I print.

Tonight, I finished harvesting this 2022 Hammacher Schlemmer Christmas catalog.
The Hammacher Schlemmer is one of the absolute best for harvesting images! The catalog can be requested for free! I got this many images:
I have sorted them by size and shape. One category is words. I store them in different size baggies.
There was something usable on every single page, including the covers.
What a great choo choo on the front!

I finished another double page spread in my Christmas glue book!
Shiny is hard to capture on camera, but these red stars were punched from a Colgate Optics box. Trash to Treasure!

Finish #1: I drove us home from Charlotte. Finish #2 I sorted all the magazines and catalogs in the den. I was looking for Christmas issues and found this gem:
Some of the ideas in this issue were very dated, and it took me a while to find a date of publication. 2003. I still like this idea, though:
I just realized I had another finish. I got some ribbon yarn in the mail to Patricia Carmichael (PMartist Studio) to use in her current mixed media project. I wish I’d had enough sense to take a photograph!

I finished another one!
It’s hard to catch sparkle on camera, but this silver washi tape is dazzling! I almost forgot about my tapes.
