Gleaning at the City Dump #68

Some of the common kinds of things that seem to make their way to the dump are the various kinds of building samples that come from home decorating showrooms...tiles, flooring, etc.  These often have lots of potential for me in my work, but I find that I'm often particularly interested in the containers that they come in.  I ended up keeping none of these tile samples (leaving them for the other artists), but quickly grabbed the little suitcase-type cases that I could use as "boxes" to hold my own work.

Unfortunately, even when I set these cool tile samples aside for one of the other artists to take, they are sometimes (often) not taken.  If no one else has an interest in them, they are destined to be thrown into the steel trash bin that we have in our work area and will then head to the landfill in eastern Oregon.
