About Junk Drawers

Not that kind of junk and not thse kinds of drawers...

Hey, we all have them. I have several. They are veritable trasher troves of useless and useful-but-forgotten stuff. Papers, letters from lost lovers, dried up fountain pens, church attendance buttons, poker chips from vegas, funny money from world travel, old bow ties or garter belts, expired passports, boy scout knives, party favors from New Years Eve 2000...

Oh the embellishments, the trashpo, the assemblages, the 3D collage possibilities...

I would love to see pictures of, and mailart from every Dkultist Trashpoet in the IUOMAsphere. Anyone else get giddy at the thought of getting into everyone else's junk drawers?

Welcome Amy! That's great. Not much is intended in Trashpo. You've participated in Dan's great performance piece.

Dan, I used to be a substitute teacher and I saw some really interesting teachers' drawers. Some with years and years of accumulated junk. I wish I'd taken photos!
