The unexpected

We were keen to get our hands on some objects that we could work from. Some unexpected objects, objects in multiples. But as these were all prototypes we didn't really want to spend any mass amount of money.
On inquiring into this it really struck me, how difficult it was to get hold of junk? Junk yards won't give anything away for free, things get binned. I understand there is free-cycle and websites like that but in a tangible sense I wanted to touch something, to search through the rubbish, bit of a ghost hunt.

So on this lack of object inquiry we decided to head to Chorlton to hit up the charity shops there, to see if they may have anything broken out back that they couldn't sell? We were surprisingly in luck, everyone seemed very happy to chat to us, but there wasn't that much spare material as anything that can't be sold tends to be binned. We came back armed with a broken mirror, a large broken lamp, a wicker basket and various other miscellaneous bits and bobs.
