Incorporating Found Objects into Handmade Book

I am lucky enough to live near a river, a bridge and a path that extends for miles!

Here is a picture of some of the things I came across during my 3 hour walk and further adventures in the city. A menu, a key and other steel objects, ticket to a preshow lecture (I copied my notes into the book and got the lecturer to sign his program), ticket to the show (Bach B Minor Mass). And best of all, a broken red umbrella! I took the fabric off, for a cover and took the rest of the skeleton to the trash. (While I was carrying it, I thought about using one in the future, hung upside down to display books on!)
I compulsively wash anything I find on the street and am careful about what I choose. I felt very silly carrying the broken umbrella skeleton (it took forever to find a barrel), but I did my part to clean up the park!
