VINTAGE TRAIN CASES-
MEMORY BOXES
These pieces are what I like to call, 'Funtional Art', meant to be used. They of course can be used for the purpose they were made for, Travel, but they also make wonderful *MEMORY BOXES*. Keep your special items, and keepsakes safe and seperate from all the other 'stuff'.


I collect vintage pieces from the 1920's - 1960's, to redesign, ('Ebony & Ivory' is the only one that is not vintage, I just liked the shape) then I revamp these vintage train cases, as well as my VINTAGE BOX PURSES, inside and out. The outside is done in the same method as I use on my abstracts, using hand made papers, and either Gold, Silver or Copper leaf. The insides are re-lined, using either quilted satin, crushed or regular velvet, and sometimes fun fur, as I did in my 'Paris Blues' train case, and they all have my satin 'Debras Originals' label. Some have keys, and some do not.
Now just as I name my canvas art pieces, these are named as well. They are one of a kind, 'ORIGINALS', and I have signed the back of each one. There is litteraly no way, any two could be alike.
I also welcome your personal train pieces to redesign.
