Gleaning at the City Dump #60

With the amazing variety of treasures to be found at the city dump, it can be easy to get a bit carried away in the collection process.  After four months into this art grant, I like to think that I've now become a bit more discerning in what I take with me each time I visit the Transfer Station.  Unfortunately, like that kid in the candy store, I'm still grabbing at this and that, putting it into my tub and hauling it home to my ever-growing collection of "stuff" in my garage studio.  The rules of the game are that we are allowed to take virtually everything and anything that we find.  
I do have a few "white elephants" that I think I'm either going pass on to other artists, donate to SCRAP (a recycling resource center here in Portland), or just simply toss into my own garbage to be hauled away.  Feeling the need to condense some of these many treasures and remove them from my work area, these are a few of those things that just haven't held my interest for my own work, and are on the way out.  Yes, they seemed "valuable" to me when I first found them.
