While waiting for the garden(!) department customer service guy to find me a bag of ice-melt, I spotted on the cement floor a nifty rubber tip—1/2" square with rounded corners, one end open, the other closed, and about 1" tall—that had come off the leg of something and was unlikely ever to find its way back.
I recognized it for its true purpose: to become a stamp in my studio with which to make patterns!
Score!

Great score with gorgeous results!! Serendipity! Don't you love it when gifts appear like that? Here's to finding more!
Corinna, thanks for stopping by and thanks for your comments. Totally love when serendipitous gifts appear. I don't know what poor chair or other item is missing one of its floor protectors, but that little rubber tip is already living a happy life at its adopted home.
I LOVE hardware stores for those very random reasons! (in fact, I love to get a home depot hotdog when I'm there ( incognito of course). Love the second hatchling. He is finding himself in the middle of a gorgeous seascape. The boat, the mountain range, the rock indication the shoreline. Sweet!
Hi Dotty,
These colours are beautiful. I like how the orange works against the blue....
I need to do more wandering through our local hardware store!
So much fun to hear your seascape observations—thanks!
Thank you, Simone. I like the colors, too. It was fun to take my color knowledge and lasso those orange doodles from my earlier pattern making to press into service in this painting.
This reminds me of the Tootsie Roll song... what ever it is I think I see, becomes a tootsie roll to me! Or a ribbon boat...out to score giant Cheetos falling from the sky! Yum!
Sheila, I'm laughing out loud! The fun of abstract art, and artist friends who have lively imaginations, is unlimited!
