The little talked about back pocket... In mine I usually keep all the little scraps of paper that make up parts of my everyday life. Here I have plane/train/subway ticket stubs, mickey mouse stickers I aquired in Disney World, some dental X-rays I got in the dominican republic (I was thrilled that they actually give them to you there!), a leaf from an uva de la playa, a tiny feather, drawings my niece and nephew did (they're awesome artists), menus, a coaster from a resort, a drawing of leaves my wife did, some paint and countertop samples, and sometimes I even keep receipts from places I want to remember. I love opening up books from years past and taking a look at all the little scraps I keep in them. It brings back such vivid memories.
So, what do you keep in that little back pocket?
I have a little of everything and a lot of the same as you. + Doodles from my work (including from boring meetings). I imagine always that I will use them somewhere in my sketchbook. But it's rare that happens!
ReplyDeleteI actually glue larger envelopes in the back of my handmade journals, Chris...and they're full of the same kind of stuff! Little treasures...
