The Gathered Drop | A4 Vintage Ephemera & Mixed Media Pack – 100+ Pieces

Each Gathered Drop contains over 100 thoughtfully selected pieces, bringing together genuine vintage finds, reproductions from my personal ephemera collection, rescued materials, handmade papers, textiles, trims and creative oddments ready to tear, layer, stitch, glue, fold, paint and transform.

No two packs will be exactly the same — and that is very much the point.

What’s Included

Your pack will contain a generous assortment of 100+ pieces, gathered from a changing mix of materials including:

• Vintage stationery and envelopes
• Genuine vintage ephemera and selected reproductions from the See What Sticks ephemera collection.
• Old book and music pages
• Stickers and die-cuts
• Vintage and French lace
• Ric rac, trims and fabric tape
• Buttons and small bits & bobs
• Textile and fabric pieces
• Handmade papers
• Coffee- and tea-stained papers
• Handmade vellum
• Momigami-style papers
• Stamped and painted sewing tissue
• Embossed papers
• Thick embossed aluminium foil
• Wallpaper pieces
• Decorative and specialty papers
• Assorted found and rescued creative materials

And, depending on what I have gathered, you may find a few unexpected treasures tucked in too.

Perfect For

The Gathered Drop is made for:

• Art journaling
• Mixed media
• Collage
• Junk journals
• Altered books
• Slow stitching
• Scrapbooking
• Card making
• Tags and pockets
• Assemblage
• Paper crafting
• Creative experimentation

There is no prescribed project and no right way to use it. Pull things apart, layer them together, paint over them, stitch through them, tear them up or save the pieces that speak to you for another day.

About the Materials

The Gathered Drop brings together a changing mixture of genuine vintage finds, reproductions from my own collected ephemera, rescued materials, handmade papers and studio-created pieces.

Over the years I’ve gathered old stationery, invoices, book pages, correspondence, labels, advertisements, photographs and other pieces of everyday paper history. Selected items from this personal ephemera collection are carefully digitised and reproduced so they can be used again in new creative work, while the originals remain preserved in the See What Sticks archive.

Alongside these reproductions, your pack may also contain genuine vintage and reclaimed materials, handmade and altered papers, textiles, trims, embossed surfaces and other interesting bits and pieces gathered along the way.

Because many of the materials are vintage, rescued or handmade, you may find:

• age marks, foxing and faded printing
• handwritten notes and old typography
• worn, torn or uneven edges
• folds, staple or pin marks
• staining and colour variation
• irregular handmade surfaces
• differences in texture, size and finish

These are not considered faults. They are part of the history and character that make each Gathered Drop different.

Please Note

Because these packs include vintage, rescued and handmade materials, contents will vary slightly from pack to pack as I gather them.

The photographs show the overall style, variety and type of materials you can expect, rather than an exact duplicate of every individual piece.

Each pack will contain over 100 pieces and will be curated to offer a good mix of paper, texture, scale and material.

Packaging

The Gathered Drop is presented as an A4-sized physical pack and carefully assembled so the materials arrive protected and ready to explore.

Where practical, packaging is designed to be reused for storing:

• ephemera
• unfinished projects
• collage pieces
• journal supplies
• future Gathered Drops

Because good packaging should be useful after the parcel has been opened too.

A Little Note From See What Sticks

I love old paper, forgotten bits, unusual textures and materials that might otherwise be overlooked.

The Gathered Drop is my way of putting those things back into creative hands.

Some pieces may already have lived one life.

Now you get to decide what happens next.

Gather. Layer. Tear. Stitch. Paint. Stick. Make something that is entirely yours.
