Collection A Day :: The Book
ORDER YOUR SIGNED COPY TODAY!
This is a blog documenting a project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. On each of those 365 days, I will photograph or draw (and occasionally paint) one collection. Most of the collections are real and exist in my home or studio; those I will photograph. Some are imagined; those I will draw or (occasionally) paint.
Since I was a young girl, I have been obsessed both with collecting and with arranging, organizing and displaying my collections. This is my attempt to document my collections, both the real and the imagined. Some of my collections are so large that I will need to photograph them separately over several days. I will likely not attempt to photograph collections in which the individual pieces are large in size or awkward in shape (i.e. my art collection or vintage enamel dishware collection). The only rule is that I must photograph or draw a whole or part of a collection each day for 365 days and post the result here on this blog.
The practice of collecting and documenting collections is as old as the hills. I want onlookers here to know that I do not profess to be doing anything new or unique or ingenious. I am embarking on this project because I love my collections, and I want to document them in a way that makes sense to me, and share them with whoever might be interested in looking at them.
This blog is open for comments. I encourage you to share your thoughts about what memories the photographs and drawings of my collections spark for you and what, if any, sense of nostalgia or repulsion they make you feel.

For those of you who have stumbled here and don’t already know me, my name is Lisa Congdon. I am an artist and illustrator, and I live in the Mission District of San Francisco with my partner Clay Lauren Walsh and our Chihuahua Wilfredo and two cats, Barry and Margaret. If you are interested, you can see the kind of artwork I make on my website or on the website of my illustration agent, Lilla Rogers. If you would like to see what my home looks like (as it contains many of my collections) you can see a house tour here. You can view my studio (also a repository) here.

Enjoy.
reason enough to learn how to play bridge...
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love these, at first I thought they were old dance cards (that were used at fancy balls). I've never seen bridge tally tags this old, the graphics are stunning.
ReplyDeletewow, love them!
ReplyDeleteThese are so much fun!!
ReplyDeletewhat delightful graphics!
ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa:
ReplyDeleteI was delighted with your blog. As you, I have some (??) collections.
Last two months I worked in a project that results in my blog, about my collection of cups:
www.sohxicaras.blogspot.com
I'm sorry because the blog is written in Portuguese, so, I'm enclosing the english translation of the presentation of the blog
so you can understand me. The blog is named "Only cups".
Forgive me for my english (may be you will find many mistakes).
Please, come to visit my blog and left a comment in there. I can read Spanish.

Presentantion
This is the place where I'll put everything that I will think is interesting and which contains the theme of my collection of cups. You can find here, besides pictures of pieces from my collection: stamps, phone cards, bookmarks, poems, text (or extracts) from known authors (and others not so well known), information about the production and sale of cups, paintings, etc.. Most of the texts cited here is taken from various internet sites and I always try to put all the credits. If someone does not want his writing to be here just let me know by e-mail that it will be immediately removed.
Come visit me and comment, please.
Awesome.
ReplyDeleteooh at first I thought these were dance cards. (I hope there will be a dance card collection to come....)
ReplyDeletethanks, enjoying the collection a day!
wow, these are FABULOUS.
ReplyDeletethoroughly enjoyed looking at all these images, all your little collections. i do the same and give such importance to my little objects. i have some of these cards and never knew their use. thanks!
ReplyDeleteComments above are right. Some of these are not bridge tallies but dance card. When you'd go to a dance, a lady would have her dance card filled out with the names of gentlemen who wanted to dance with her. My grandmother and even my mom had some of these.
ReplyDeleteThese are interesting to look at but only one of them is a bridge tally, the rest are dance cards.

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
