Comment by Terry Owenby on August 29, 2020 at 1:41am: Thanks so much for having me. I love vintage, especially from the 40s and 50s. I enjoy using photos, papers (especially old books), and all sorts of ephemera in collages. I will upload some pieces soon.

Comment by Crystal T on May 14, 2020 at 2:22pm: I have been creating collage sheets with vintage materials that I have collected over the years. I would love to share them! Let me know if you would like some!

Comment by Carien van Hest on March 17, 2020 at 11:27am: I cannot tell you anything about this illustration. I searched for vintage on a free database website and found this gorgeous lady. I cannot detect anything about the handwriting, except that it looks very old....

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on March 17, 2020 at 12:42am: Yes, that's a lovely piece, Carien. The old handwriting seemed unique enough to each person to be a fingerprint. And the surviving examples are all so graceful. Could everyone have been graceful? In handwriting it seems they were!

Comment by Lani Burshtein on March 17, 2020 at 12:38am: Is anyone interested in swapping art with me? I have lots of free time now because of coronavirus.
