LADY CHURCHILL WATERCOLOUR SET.





LADY CHURCHILL WATERCOLOUR SET
SOLD.
As I've mentioned before, I am always on the lookout for a vintage watercolor set or an old watercolor tin. I recently ran across this old Lady Churchill tin in an antique store. While not a watercolor tin, I like the way it looked with it's old faded colors and nice patina. I decided to buy it and turn it into a neat watercolor set. I added the Windsor-Newton / Cotman watercolors, some brushes, three handmade dip pens. A pencil sharpenew and pencil and a water siphon for adding water to the colors. Size is approx. 3.5" x 5.5".  Contact me at my email address  kenscottart@att.net  if you are interested in having me make you a set similar to this one.

RECORDS OF MARRIAGE & BIRTH FRAKTUR a wonderful way to remember the best moments of life! Great for anniversaries, weddings, new births and birthdays. A blend of original art and personalized sentiments.

In early America, these announcements featured primitive drawings of angels, birds, flowers, hearts, etc. The resulting Early American Folk Art art or Fraktur was often the record of a family's history. These items were hung on walls, pasted inside trunks and passed on from generation to generation.
