When we moved (and did major downsizing) I had to give up (and throw away) a LOT of stuff. Rusty, cruddy, gnarled stuff I'd collected for years. I did manage to set aside 3 small boxes worth of selected pieces.
Never look back on what you left behind,
only look forward to what you can start collecting all over again.
For a long time I made a lot of ceramic boxes, mostly with open tops and bottoms. The goal (somehow there is always a goal there but maybe that's just an easy way to say "I don't have a real plan") was to stack them up in a window on their sides so they would look like ruins of a city but you would still be able to look through them.
This give-away is still there after 30 days.

Wow, what great "trophies". I never find anything so cool.... I'm picturing you out like Elmer Fudd... shhhhh hunting the wascally wabbits....
Great finds, Don!Perhaps the give-away piece is too big for someone to slink away with it... trying not to be noticed.
I love the idea of leaving those "give-aways" out in public spaces. I've made things and left them out in the woods for people to discover... in the crags of a bluff along a trail, or just out in the middle of nowhere. At first glance, the piece that you put on the gas meter almost looks like a part of the meter. Maybe that's why nobody has moved or taken it. I thoroughly enjoy you blog and visit it often.
