    Milton Bradley made crayons?! Did you use the contents and keep the packaging, or do sticks of pastels still languish inside?

    and here's my vintage art supply story:
    I spent pretty much all my free time painting and drawing between ages 7 and 18, and started out using watercolors and pastels that orginally belonged to my grandmother. I still use her brushes and have kept even the most crumbly and dried out tubes of oil paint to remember her by.

    i like the idea of collecting vintage art supplies - something inspiring about that. The packaging is the best part.

    lisa, hello!
    oh, this is such a good idea!!
    but you're really ambitious - a collection a day, 365 days, EVERY day?!?! wow.. i'm really looking forward to it :) (i just put a link on my blog-scroll)
    i collect by instinct, too.. it seems to be a very archaic urge ;)
    good luck with your project!

    I still have the first box of pastels which I bought when I was 11 years old. It's as a small precious treasure; and even if I don't use necessarily them, I like the magic of oil pastels of which colors can merge between them.
    I also like the packagings of the boxes of color pencils when they have naive patterns, for example I possess one with the drawing of an smal doe on a cardboard packaging !
    I believe that for me, these little boxes are a way to remain in contact with my own chilhood...

    Love it! For some reason this image reminded me of the watercolor booklet I had in college. It was and odd 7ish by 3ish, orange-paper-bound object. The pigment was painted on the sheets. Snipping a bit of a sheet into a little pool of water was all it took for instant color. I'm a lousy water colorist, but I adored that book. The shades were so rich, it was easy to use and mess-less. So sad to have let that slip away. Even Google hasn't helped met to locate another. . .
