If you’ve read more than three or four of my posts, you may have noticed that I like finding connections between different images — pairing photography or illustrations from different artists. So when I came across the little buddy below while browsing Hernán Paganini’s photostream, my jaw dropped a little. A lot, actually. I was, and am still, in awe.

Over at Poppytalk, one of my daily reads for inspiration and diversion, I came across this exciting find. “A Collection a Day, 2010” is a new project by Lisa Congdon (who I love and featured two weeks ago), in which she will create and document one collection of small related items for every day of the year. I think my anal retentive tendencies are rejoicing as much as my appreciation for common yet beautiful things. Like Lisa, who’s appreciation for collecting and arranging small treasures started in childhood, I too remember spending far too many hours organizing and displaying my possessions, be they the crayons arranged in a color order that made sense only to me or the chest containing rows of tiny plastic toys that I received from my dentist.
I especially love how Lisa has opened the project up for discussion and encourages “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”. I guess her collections have happily reminded me of little orange trolls and crayon rainbows. What memories do they spark in you?
