You can't have just one...

The theme of this post has to do with quantities of things in the studio and how you can never have too many of one craft material...especially when creating new items on a continuous basis. Plus looking at them all grouped together is constant source of inspiration. So colorful and textural and wonderful! Take a look:

You can't have just one glass eye...

Or one roll of crepe paper...

Or one pipe cleaner...or one package of pipe cleaners...

One jar of beads...

Or one spool of ribbon...

Or one bundle of paper grass...

Or one colorful bulb...

Or one little drawer of goodies...

Or even one tower of drawers of goodies...

Or one bottle brush tree...

Well...I don't really need matches at all, but they're a byproduct of another project...maybe I should take up smoking?

One can never have too many multiples...right?

I am right there with you on this post! Loving all the photos of your goodies...you can never have too much...especially if if is a vintage item that you stockpile for crafting! More is More!

p.s. do not take up smoking...

Wow--those photos are fantastic! They would make wonderful cards or prints! The match display is fab...who need to light a fire? Fabulous!

I am glad to know that I am not the only one with multiples of everything. This is a great post!
