Collective Madness

     Since some of you adventurous types have asked me to share some of my things in pictures, I've decided to randomly (since I HATE schedules...) show photos of collections.  I think I'll call it "Collective Madness" and it will always be little groupings of ephemera, or other pieces of wonderment that 'called to me' and got a ride home...  Hope this will serve to satisfy your curiosity about my closets and move you to show us some of your own little lovelies. 

     I beginning this foray into collecting mania, by showing a little stash of bisque pieces that I am wild for.  The only criteria I had when I stumbled upon any of these was "bisque" and I don't know why I love bisque so much.  My daughter hates it (a tactile turn-off and the sound when you touch it makes her skin crawl) so she will inherit and promptly smash (probably) all my little treasured bisque.  But I love the starkness of it, although some had originally been lightly painted, and the detail of the work.  The fact that the person charged with cleaning the seams and smoothing the lines of each piece, as it came from the mold in the factory has left an imprint on it, impresses me.... there's always so much to see, if you really look.                           

                            

                           

                           

     Since each piece was under $20, I figure (or figurine, in this case) they are a cheap thrill, and if there were ever a fire, God forbid, I would be devestated to no longer be able to look at them.  Their value, you see lies in the fact that they make me smile.  And that is what a collection should be;  a joy.  I hope they make you smile too.

Thanks heaps for sharing your treasured little bisque cuties! Looking forward to seeing much more of your collection, so please don't be too random with your "Collective Madness" features. Adore the name also!
