CORKS!...but so do friends of mine FOR me...as I really hardly ever drink wine...just socially...so collecting on my own would be a hard slog, and a lengthy task...
I have been meaning to craft something out of them...and have been collecting ideas...
I love their history...where they're all from...they travel from every part of the World. South Africa,Austrailia,Europe,Chile,America...
I love the different textures of cork used...the colours the wine has made the cork...
One day I will make a LARGE Art installment for our dining room...
BUT...until then...for you...
carefully one by one...
a heart is born...
This post was inspired by KENZI over here and I was reminded by "K" from over here that I should be crafting SOMETHING out of them!!!
What do you collect??
Have a lovely Thursday...until tomorrow.

& thanks for the link!!!
k.
those colors are so great! so pretty grouped together.
When I read your post I couldn't help smiling :)
You see we are a wine drinking family, we LOVE great wines and over the years we amassed 100's of corks. I was going to make an art project out of them but then realised I would seriously never get around to it and as we are now trying to downsize our home I recently sold them all on Etsy very quickly, I was amazed at how many people want to buy corks.
Hope one day you get to make your art piece. I will look forward to seeing it :) T.
