Catalyst 23 - What I collect/hoard

Catalyst 23
Journaling:
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the history of things, especially vintage train cases and old photographs. I can’t resist them! I have 6 or 8 train cases, one is my MIL’s, two others are from my grandmothers, and others I have collected at thrift stores and antique shops along the way. I have a lot of photographs from my family, but I also can’t resist a really cool photo in a thrift store. So, I have a whole train case filled with photographs of those people whose relatives let them “go”.

My other train cases hold other vintage ephemera - book pages in different languages, old newspaper, vintage sewing patterns, and collage sheets from these vintage pieces.

Technique highlight:
Drawing on cold press paper in Pigma Micron, watercolor using Sakura Koi watercolors.

    I love the phrase, “photographs of tose people whose relatives let them go.”

  • What's This Blog All About, Anyway?

    I'm Fran Saperstein. I'm an artist and writer sharing my life with my wonderful husband, David. In this blog I will share some of the art I'm doing, tell you about how I live my life with chronic illness, and still maintain a positive life here in my Phoenix, AZ home studio. I'll share what I'm experimenting with, what I'm writing and even (beware!) what I'm thinking. I am always looking to try new things and to experiment. I'll share some of my experiments here. Email me.
