(Scrounger’s Center for Reusable Art Parts)
Wow! recycling at its finest.
People donate their unused art supplies and/or things that would be useful for art projects. It is like a giant garage sale of art supplies and with garage sale prices!
I came away with odds and ends, my favorite being a handful of photographs of animals (at a zoo? on safari?) that would make great greeting cards - oh the expressions on the animal faces! Yes, I make my own cards sometimes.
Sewers - they have buttons, patterns, fabrics (not always high end stuff I hear) but interesting.
I plan to clean out some of my supplies and take them when I go back.

One of my classmates in Wayne Wichern's millinery class at Canada College was a volunteer for SCRAP. He says it is worth going daily as you never know what will show up. I think it is both a good and bad thing that I live too far away to visit more than occasionally. I already have enough stuff, and yet I love the hunt and finding something new to excite my creativity.
