i have a drawer where i store and collect random beads, keys, lockets, and charms. basically anything that can be strung onto fishing line and hung around the house. my little hanging collages! i think it's been 2+ years since the last one i made, plenty of beads and random goodies building up in that drawer. used parts of an armadillo mobile, religious charms from marie laveau's in new orleans, beads from a hemp necklace my college roommate made me, gold coins from a greek festival anklet, and other bits and bobs. for dramatic flair i used a huge rock i found in the hills with a perfect hole in the middle of it as a weight.
