[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 93102, member: 468"]That's about right. If I have nothing, but want to build something, I engineer and build it in my mind, almost never on paper except for measurements if it has to fit into something. This isn't to say I don't see modification options in some things or 'marrying' things. ~ For the Assemblages I'm always picking up stuff wherever it is, garage sales, thrifts, even in the street like the little white #3 I got yesterday that has often been run over and is like the ones in the changeable black signs you see in office buildings. I like the spring steel tines from street sweepers too. I have 'palettes' like a painter does but much larger as you may imagine. I have flat files and drawers so I can look at what I have and have the items tell me which objects want to go with which. You would be amazed at what they say to me! Most notable is when they don't belong. :)[/QUOTE]
