Desk Detrius PIF

[luckythirteenxxx]

Everytime I clean up my desk,
I drop all the *extras* I find into a big, 8.5x11 envelope. *Extras* can mean snippings from art projects completed, clippings saved but not used, packaging I thought would be fun to alter, objects, findings, notes, stationary, stickers, stamp impressions and so on.

You know what Desk Detrius is:
all the stuff you've hoarded and meant to use, but never did! I imagine that all of us could use a cleaner desk, and so I thought it would be fun to make a PIF out of it (my desk is usually 2 lbs lighter afterwards! LOL). Besides, its easier to part with our treasure/trash if we know it might get a second life!!

For the record:
This thread was began because I had a bunch of stuff that someone else might find useful, but I didn't have the time/patience to try to parcel it out on one of the other PIF threads. I wanted to get it ALL off my desk and out of my space right away. Feel the same? Grab a big envelope or a box and start cleaning!
You do not have to have a desk to participate. Got an art table, filing cabinet, or storage area that is overflowing with detrius? Get cleaning and turn that arty trash into someone else's treasure!
Don't want anything in return? No problem. Simply specify that in your post.
The idea here is to get rid EN MASSE that bunch of stuff which is in your way, that you aren't going to use, or that you can't stand to just throw away.
The motto of this thread is "one artist's trash is another artist's treasure".
How to?
Well, clean your desk.
Take all that Desk Detrius and pack it up.
Claim the last Desk Detrius package and post yours (specify the size of your package or packages!).
Work out the mailing addresses by PM.
Enjoy all the new Desk Detrius that you get in the mail!!
ThInK BiG!! UnLoAd YoUr ClUtTeR!!

[luckythirteenxxx]

Here, I'll Start:

PACKAGE:
I have a 10.5" x 15" bubble envelope that is jammed with over 1.5 lbs of Desk Detrius!!

DETRIUS:
papers, ribbons, atc blanks, lots of word-centric clippings/findings, this is more impressive than it sounds. LOTS of stuff, so much so that I can't really tell what else is in here!!

Any takers?

(be sure to post your Desk Detrius to PIF!)

[joseta_fugeta]

I'm game

Package:
A regular manila folder (9 by 11) PACKED with randomness from my desk and art stash

Detrius:
Fibers, magazine clippings, collage goodies, fbs, decos, zines, etc.

[Necrolatrism]

Wow, I'm surprised no one has posted between my reading this and getting around to cleaning up my desk. (Who am I kidding - it doesn't look any different; but still, I've filled an envelope.)

Package:
11" x 9" (wow, I actually found a ruler for this one. how exciting.)

Detrius:
lots of random pictures and text clippings, lots of stickers, ribbons, a couple of kinder surprise type toys, free postcards, a proof copy of my zine and that may or may not be it.

[Necrolatrism]

Wow, I'm surprised no one has posted between my reading this and getting around to cleaning up my desk. (Who am I kidding - it doesn't look any different; but still, I've filled an envelope.)


:lol: I stand corrected. Darn my slow posting.

[Salsus]

I want to do this but I've not gotten to the cleaning state yet on my table, so you guys have to keep the thread going!

[beachstudio]

Wow, am I ever ready for this one.

Necrolatrism, I'm game!

For my Piffing full envie, I have lots of paper scraps, some cool tree punchies... I just did a leaf deco page... some tags, emb. thread, some little rolling beads and a few buttons(I'll put them into a baggie:) , beads and buttons I have strung together, some neat green mesh and some silver and red too, a few decos ready for the next signer.... and some handmade cardboard pieces I have covered to use in decos and other projects, little envies, and more...it's a messy desk :D

Anyone?

Cool Pif idea btw, I've been talking about cleaning.

LInda

[darkladymajesta]

:eek: This is so tempting! Before I get packing I have a question. Can this desk be our regular desk as well as our art desk? I think I have some nifty things that I need to clean out of my "junk-that-I-can't-throw-out" drawer that can be used :confused: Thanks.

[emelengy]

Whoa!! Cool thread! I'll take yours, beachstudio, while dlm is still cleaning! Who wants mine?

Here's a sampling: lots of magazine pages, page-a-day-pages, fibers...nifty yarns, emb. floss and ribbons...odds and ends of painted papers, fabric scraps...not sure yet what size, but probably 9"x 12"...depends a little on where it's headed!

[groovyholly]

Can I play too? I'm in Canada, but have a US addy that stuff gets sent to. I've got some stuff on route there right now, it's in MI. I have to get an envie and fill it though, I've got lots of cool stuff I can put in there. Let me know.

Package size: I have to get an envie today, I'm all out of humungous ones!! It's around a pound or so.

Detrius: A few indie magazines from around my area(the newsprint kind), lots of scraps of paper that I "was gonna use" but haven't got around to it, joss papers, ribbons, stamped images, bookmark blanks, atc blanks, a small piece of driftwood, a few used stamps, blank postcards and greeting cards, cool tags from clothing (great for altering, again I was gonna use them!), some small beads(plastic ones), all kinds of great things. I was having a blast cleaning off both desks in the office -one is my art table, the other is our computer desk. Any takers for my package???????
Groove on!!!
Holly:D

[luckythirteenxxx]

groovy holly, are you taking emelengy's package? That was not clear as I browsed the thread...In any case groovyholly, your package sounds magnificent!

I'll take it and PIF with:

PACKAGE
8.5" x 11" bubble mailer

DETRIUS
this seems like it would be good stuff for shrines/niches/AB's that kind of 3D thing: birch bark, rubber tire mulch, a couple of book pages, crumbled rose petals (mixed with some seaglass), 2 types sparkly nail polish, an altoid gum tin, a phone jack box w/wires, glittery rope wire, screw-in fuses, a fake grasshopper, multicolor mini-star glitter and a few small things that I can't recall...

Any takers?

To answer an earlier question:
if the detrius can be swapped or made into art or mailart, I don't think it matters where it comes from desk-wise :) the theme of this desk-cleaning thread is "One artist's Trash is another artist's Treasure".

[joseta_fugeta]

Ooh! I'll take it:D

9" by 11" envie

Detrius:
Lots of magazine pages from fashion magazines, art postcards with artist and gallery info on the backs, some fibers and other little bits that I find.

[groovyholly]

Ok luckythirteenxxx, I already have your addy from our PIF french book pages thread, so I'll just package it up for you and send it off to you. Can you wait until next week for it to be mailed? My MIL just went to MI today and she probably won't be going for another week or so. It's much cheaper if I mail it from MI instead of Canada. Let me know, just PM me K? That envelope will be bursting, there's soooo much stuff in there.
Groove on,
Holly:D
p.s. I'm waiting to hear back from emelengy, I'm sure I'll hear something in the next couple of days, I do want her package though.

[luckythirteenxxx]

joseta: i'll try to post this tomorrow! :cool:

groovyholly: combining the shipment is a fab idea! can't wait!

[groovyholly]

I haven't heard back from emelengy yet. Maybe I'll just give her a few more days, whaddya think???? I'm pretty sure I pm'd her.
Holly:D

[emelengy]

I'm so confused?!? I think I *did* pm you, groovyholly; I seem to remember threatening you with more Valentines =P If somehow I managed not to send the message, then Yes, I will mail you my desk detritus...as soon as I find my desk! Actually, I can come up with plenty to fill an envelope before I even *get* to my desk...so be ready!! It should go out next week. I've already gotten beachstudio's...mmmmmmm, fun stuff!

This thread seems a bit tangled though...let's see: I claimed from beachstudio; groovyholly claimed from me; luckythirteenxx claimed from groovyholly; and joseta fugeta claims luckythirteen's goodies...right? So...I guess Josie's desk detritus is up for grabs! Anyone interested?

joseta fugeta is offering:

9" by 11" envie

Detrius:
Lots of magazine pages from fashion magazines, art postcards with artist and gallery info on the backs, some fibers and other little bits that I find.

[groovyholly]

you pm'd me right after I posted. I knew you'd get in touch with me. Hope your 'puter if feeling better! OK, so who's claiming Joseta's desk detrius???? Joseta packs an awesome envie full of goodies, I should know, I've rec'd a few of hers and I LOVE 'EM!!!!! Come on, someone claim the envie of Desk Detrius, it's just waaaaaaaaaaaaay too tempting for me.
Groove on,
Holly:D

[ktsls82]

The instructions say Claim the last Desk Detrius package and post yours (specify the size of your package or packages!). Are there any packages to claim at the moment. I'll get an envelope ready.

[emelengy]

As nearly as I can tell, whisperclouds' was the last clear offer of an envelope...maybe you could pm her or Darkroom Deb to see what's up? (or I will if you'd rather) Once all becomes clear, I'll claim your envie, and offer another of my own...

9 x 12 with cardstock and paper bits and pieces, fibers, magazine clippings, and random oddities...

Actually, I've gone ahead and pmed DarkroomDebutante ('cause I'm a bossy old thing!), so just waiting to hear from her how she wants to proceed!

[ktsls82]

I notice some people wrote saying they didn't have a desk. Couldn't they just collect stuff around their house for this swap?

[emelengy]

...that's what I did =D I figure it's a way to *find* my desk...!

[PGill]

what happens if you don't want any returns, you just want to get rid of stuff but have a hard time throwing things away?

I know, whoevery wants any of my stuff can send me a sase and I'll fill it and send it back. How is that?

[ktsls82]

I'm interested in your stuff. If you pm me your address. I'll send an envelope to you tomorrow. Thanks. Kristina

[ktsls82]

I almost have your package ready to go. I hope you like it.

[emelengy]

Thanks, Kristina!

So...who'd like to claim my 9 x 12 ish envelope filled with cardstock and paper bits and pieces, fibers, magazine clippings, and random oddities...?

Please pm me your address, and pass along your own odds and ends!

[Darkroom Debutante]

Hey everyone I'm sorry about being unclear. I don't have an envelope at this time, I'm not swapping one. Sorry!!! ~_~

[emelengy]

Thanks, DD! So. ktsls82 claims whisperclouds envie (might want to pm her your address...); and I've claimed ktsls's...so...back to that same old envie again!! Anybody??

[cierra913]

Trish, I would love to have your envie. I'll pm you with my addy.

I am getting my envie together - it may be upgraded to a box since my "desk" is actually my dinnig room table and since Christmas is coming I am being forced to clear everything off.

Anyway, clearing away my old stuff gives me an excuse to go out and get more stuff!

So who wants mine?
