I've been making small shrines from things I pick up while walking around the city as part of my job. I collect whatever looks interesting and bring them back to my workspace where I file them by color family in clear containers. I then use these things to construct small assemblages in little paper houses. I find I am enjoying the process because it's kind of like flower arranging, but also because I am making amulets out of trash- I am searching for something sacred and beautiful every day.
(mdn)n. 1. A refuse heap. 2. Archaeology: A mound or deposit containing shells, animal bones, and other refuse that indicates the site of a human settlement.
