This series’ purpose is to make sure I create more assemblages and USE what I have in my stash. Since I’ve found that I work well when given prompts and/or a limited scope, I’ve created yet another prompted challenge for myself. You’re welcome to play along. I’m calling it Inspiration Trove as I hope to be inspired by my own hoard of treasures.
This month, I drew the prompts: Wood, Hardware, and Map
