Every Day in May Day 2
Posted on | May 2, 2008 | 4 Comments

Today I am still feeling fatigued from the treatment. No surprise there… However, I am still challenging myself to keep up with at least one drawing each day. Today I did two challenges from the Every Day Matters Group.
EDM 31 – Draw something you collect.
I brought my grandmother’s vintage train case into the den, where I am sitting in front of the TV. I drew the train case open with the photos in it. My grandmother took very good care of it. Her address from The Bronx is still in it, easy to read! The mirror is still perfect, as well. It’s quite heavy, or I’d use it for travel. For now, however, it will remain in my studio as storage.
While the pictures and the train case were here, I posted more of my vintage photos and cabinet cards for sale on my “Supplies for Sale” page. Take a look. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, send me an email and I will see if I have what you need in my collection!
EDM 164 – Draw your camera.
I also drew my point and shoot Canon Powershot Elph. This camera has been with me for a while. It’s 4 mpx, which was huge a few years ago! It will be coming with me on all my trips, since it fits so easily into a purse or backpack.
Now it’s time to relax and try to keep from getting more fatigued. Hmmm… Perhaps a nap?

Hi Fran,

What a great project. Crativity is such a gift we have been given. Looking forward to seeing the intire months work. Hope your feeling better.

Both drawings are excellent, but I particularly like the one of your grandmother’s train case ~ maybe because I remember being allowed to use my grandmother’s old blue one for dress up

Train cases are soooo amazingly cooland so nostalgic! And… I simply adore the fact that you collect vintage photos…I often feel so sad for the people in them …that they and the memories the photos hold have been forgotton…until YOU find them and give them a new home…Very cool indeed!
