Somewhere around 1990 I started to form many collections. By far the most accomplished were erasers and bouncey balls. In 2006, I began to travel around a lot, and naturally started to get rid of things or leave them behind in the process. I have been getting rid of my bouncy ball collection very slowly, over the last 8 years, by leaving one in each new place that I visit.

Duct Tape Wallets
As I left behind or got rid of some collections, others began to take shape. Today my most advanced collection is made up of rolls of duct tape found in a few different corners of the world. Here are pictures (of very varying quality) of wallets that have grown out of this collection.
