Nature's Chaos

I not only love to create art, I love to collect art too.  When I travel,  I like to bring home art that will remind me of where I have been.  I display these treasure as collections throughout my home.  These wooden pencils, doll and sage smudge wrap are displayed together on a book shelf in my living room.


What art collections to you have in your home?

  4. Visitors to your home must have a wonderful time just looking at all your beautiful vignettes. I bet you are the most popular gal on the block.

  6. I do that, too. Shells and rocks seem to make it home with me. Feathers if I'm lucky enough to find any. And art I may find in a gallery. And post cards. Especially if I can find some old ones... I'm too much of a collector -- and that's a bad thing!

    I like your fat pencils!

  10. Since eventually I'm going to be downsizing, I bring back recipes from where ever I go...It's fun to go back to a happy vacation time through food.
    Love the pencils...visiting from Friday's Finds.

  11. Awesome!

    We have some prints on the wall.

    And my husband has collected quite a few Native American pieces over the years, since his family is 100% by blood and many of them make and sell their crafts at the powwows.
