I don't collect as much as I accumulate. Right now my desk at home is filled with paper waiting to be filed. I don't know where it comes from, but as soon as I take care of it the pile appears again.

I do not collect as much as I make something that others collect. When I am not playing with my many motorized vehicles I make custom knives from scratch and embellish them with exotic materials. I am currently working on several that will have mammoth ivory, mammoth bone and sapphires incorporated into them. You can check out some of my past work at ADW Custom Knives

Shoes and boyfriends?? Just kidding...sort of.

Actually my ex-husband and I collected interesting clown-motif paintings, sculpture, etc. - not the kitschy stuff. I have some of the collection and have added a few things like carnival masks from Italy as wall hangings.

And I have quite a few clocks (20 or so - mostly antiques) given to me by my father, who was a collector and clock-shop owner in his later years. He's still living (87) but doesn't collect anymore.

I'd like to collect antique clocks. I only have about 10 of them right now, and only 6 or so qualify as "antiques". I've build a grandmother clock as well as designed and built a carriage clock. I still have a couple of clock movements out in the garage, along with a half built school-house clock (my own design). One of these days when I have time, I'll finish that clock.

If you ever want to dispose of any of your antique clocks, please let me know.
