What’s your favourite shop to buy supplies from: As I use materials that are discarded by other people I tend to buy from charity shops and car boot sales. My favourite place though is my local scrapstore – it's an Aladdins cave of everything you didn't know until you saw it there! But as I work upwards from the materials I have rather than the other way around it's great for sparking my creativity :)
