Collection of skulls in my bedroom

Subject: Ask Vicente: Collecting
I am interested in starting another collection of some type but haven’t been inspired by anything yet. I collected Wedgwood Nautilus pieces for a while, but grew tired of them (I kept my two favorite pieces and sold the rest). I recently saw a picture of someone’s Ouija board collection displayed in their home office and thought that was a very interesting collection! I need something fun easy, affordable and interesting like that to collect! Do you collect anything or have any suggestions for an interesting collection?

Vicente Responds:
What peaks your interest, Karen? You can collect anything – from bottle caps to impressionist paintings. Analyze what appeals to you and what is available for you to select from to start a collection. I collect photography, buddhas, seashells, pipes, (check the story on Lonny) and sculls and I also have collections at the beach house.There is no right or wrong here. Just have fun with it.

I LOVE TO BRING BACK FROM MY WALKS EVERDAY IN THE DESSERT, ITEMS SUCH AS SMALL ROCKS, SEED PODS, THE OUTLINE OF DEAD CACTUS BRANCHES, THE LIST IS ENDLESS AND THEY ARE ALWAYS A THOUSAND TIMES MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ANYTHING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT AT A STORE OR BAZZAR..

Collections really give us good grounding in the world. It’s the balancing of the physical world and the ethereal/spiritual self. Much like language does for emotion. I like to collect marbles as they remind me of my childhood in california, drawing a circle in the dirt.
