IF • Clutter

Things you do not use or love •
Things that are untidy or disorganized •
Too many things in too small of a place •
Anything unfinished •

Each morning see some task begin, each evening sees it close.
Something attempted, something done.
Has earned a night’s repose. Henry Longfellow

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.
But above all, try something. Franklin Delano Roosevelt

    Amazing colours, textures and designs. There is something very positive about it. Great.

    Really nice colors–and while it is busy it doesn’t look “cluttered.”

    Cool design quality. It sort of reminds me of the series intro from, “Tales from the Dark Side”.

    This is some of the most beautiful clutter I’ve ever seen! And it’s such a joy to read the words surrounding the picture too – really lovely work:-)

    Fabulous, fabulous! I enjoyed picking through it and identifying all the items. I can soooo relate, what with all the projects I start and never finish. Love your work!
