in a box

here's a little bit of everything. a bit silly right? stencils. string. playing cards. packaging. labels. some things just don't amount to much until they are accumulated. then what?

one thing i always go for is dennison gummed labels. on ebay i have seen one of these little boxes go for sixty bucks. i kid you not. whenever i buy a nothing book, usually from muji, i put one of these on the cover. you'd be surprised how it changes the complexion of a simple sketch book. i also have a weakness for string, twine, cord, fishing line. weird huh.

i received an email from someone, a teacher somewhere, who uses my blog as an example of compulsive obsessive disorder. glad to know i'm an example to someone.

i am particularly fond of osram lighting packaging. is it the orange? the simple design is always appealing. at some point i should file, categorize or just organize these disperse items, (there are many boxes like this) then they will be something more than just an accumulation, say a collection.
