About wileyvalentine

I came across this post the other day on the brilliant Eric Kass's blog, and I was instantly grateful. You see I have this very beautiful habit (annoying to some) of keeping little pieces of paper, business cards, clothing tags, menus, random bits of paper, labels, etc. I have never really known what to do with all of it besides stick it up on my inspiration board (or let it pile up somewhere near my desk). However if you have seen my inspiration board (or my desk for that matter) lately you can see it's kind of busting at the seems. What Eric does is stick them in books similar to what I have done with my old magazines. Brilliant!! I am so excited about this; I think I might just go home and start this project immediately!

I have about 4 volumes of these (more architecture/design based) - mostly magazine clippings that I find inspriational. Sometimes when I get bored I flip through them and get inspired!
