lost and found - post 4 (national geographic)


i have a question. if you were in possession of hundreds of national geographics from the 60s, 70s and 80s what would you do with them? how would you repurpose them? what section would be of most interest to you? maps, ads, articles? would you save the covers (think anthropologie - did anyone see that display)?  please.  fill me in.



i am personally interested in the maps.  i took them all out.  i separated the ones i'm going to use in the boys room.  and the rest...well, anyone need a map?  i am unburdening myself of the ways that limit my creativity. i am starting to let go of the "things".  i am eliminating excuses. i am getting unstuck.  i am moving forward. dreaming about warmer weather and how the wood butcher is going to take form. trying to think less of business and more of art.

  2. ok thats alot of national geographics! can you like glue them together to make a thick book and then do an altered book? altough 30 years of those would make a zillion altered books. what about donating them to a school for art projects?
