Project

A collection a day for 100 days.

I am going to find, photograph and write about each collection, which must contain at least three objects and can be found together naturally or manipulated by me.


Staring March 1st, 2011, a group of us will be participating in the project it's going to be fun to see what everyone comes up with.

day twenty nine

slippahs

It took me about five years of living in Hawaii to stop calling these "jandals".  Pretty much the only thing we wear on our feet year round.......ha! I just noticed my toes in the bottom of the picture.

day twenty five

sod

One of my neighbours had a new lawn put in today. The sod almost looks like a bunch of yule log cakes stacked on top of each other.

roosters

While waiting in the school parking lot I saw these roosters just cruising around between the cars, there were four of them but I couldn't get them all together.

seed pods

Rory found these seed pods on her camping trip to Hana, they sound like maracas when you shake them.

I only photographed this because I want to sink my whole head in it. Bloody great whopping migraine today.....can't think straight.

day seventeen

green stuff

While looking for something green to wear today I had a look for other green things in my house. Despite the fact that green is one of my favourite colours, I really don't own many green things. This is pretty much it......

day sixteen


chessmen

And now for a touch of geekery....Lord of the Rings chess pieces.  Takes a little bit longer to play due to the fact that you have to include some dialogue as you go such as Frodo needing to explain about the beauty of the shire and Gollum calling all his opponents "my precious" and Gandalf loudly explaining his next move while the orcs thump about the board and the eye of Sauron won't shut up and has to tell everyone that he's watching them.........What? you mean you don't play it like that?

collection of post office boxes ....of course my box didn't have anything interesting today, just bills and junk mail.

day eight

hotel soaps

I have a bit of a thing for hotel toiletries.  I must take them with me even when they are horrible.  I won't bother with the shower caps or the sewing kits but god help me if I leave without stowing the soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion....it's nice to get a bonus mouthwash every now and again.

day seven

japanese erasers
kids collect the funniest things.
I had to make mini cars seats for these guys so that they would be"safe" when we drove in the car. My pointing out that they are made of rubber and therefore wouldn't get hurt......went down like a ton of bricks.

Day Four

dolly shoes

Dolls have the most outrageous shoes. I could never wear half of these designs...maybe the pink basketball shoes in the back. Dolls have the luxury of not actually having to walk in their shoes.

Day Three




beer bottle caps

For day three I chose my collection of Hitachino Nest beer bottle caps. I love the little owls. I swear I will turn these into something cool, like a necklace or key ring or fridge magnet... but in the meantime they are burning a hole in my junk drawer.

Day Two

Silly Bandz

On a lighter note,
Who would have thought that rubber bands, molded into different shapes would be the next huge collectible fad for kids? These are part of my daughter Rory's collection......my favourite is the grey drum kit and the orange guy playing "air guitar".
