I have been following Seth Apter's "Collectors Edition" for months and it's been interesting to see what kind of stuff people collect.
My collections are versatile and it would be impossible to display them all simply because it would take days to photograph or scan them. All my life I have been gathering stuff because of personal sentiments. Since I discovered altered art my collections took another direction: rusty metal, worn our books, old bits and pieces.
here is the small display of many things I collect, all scattered throughout my home and awaiting the moment to be used in my art...
1. Book covers
2. Metal tins
3. Bits and pieces (as older and dirtier as better)
4. Rubber stamps (everyone's astonishing about my investment)

Thanks so much for taking a stroll through my collections Svetlana. Your collections are super as well. I know what you mean about not being able to display all your collections or we'd be spending months just taking pictures!! Love your book covers- and do you have stamps inside all of those cases?? If so, now that's alot of stamps!! :)
Wonderful collections! Love the book covers...some much fun!!
Whoa ! WHoa ! and Whoa !
You have a very huge collections of them.
oh, wow, those rubber stamps are a fortune! Love it. I can't go into a rubber stamp shop or even browse a stamp website!!
I love those book covers, and the tins! I have a whole top shelf of tins. I can't believe I didn't think of those!
Thanks for sharing these collections. Rock on!
Ooooohhhh, you should't make your collection public. Very dangerous. You might get an intruder (a German intruder) very soon.
Oh... oh!
Kakva divna kolekcija!
Sada imam tačnu predstavu o tome čime ću se zabaviti ovog vikenda, odavno nisam cunjala po tavanu - a nakon ovog što sam videla, mislim da mi se smeše novi kreativni izazovi!
Hvala ti za inspiraciju!
Srdačan pozdrav s drugog kraja sveta!
WOW, fabulous collections! Love especially all the ruszy stuff!
I'm with you. I love seeing the things that people collect, so thanks for sharing! I think we share a lot of obsessions! Love those book covers!
xo
Loving your latest work!
Hi Svetlana, thanks for visiting my blog, nice to met you. I love the choice materials you are using. Your works are beautiful and very inspiring!
I missed Seth's Collections but I'm delighted to come upon yours as an offshoot of looking at your Stacks. I love what you're making so I'll be following you. I'm in NSW, still a long way from WA.
