On May 26, 1925, Dan Robbins, the inventor of the "paint by number" craft system, was born in Detroit. Robbins attended Cass Technical High School and conceived the idea for paint by number in 1949 after being inspired by Leonardo da Vinci, who would hand out numbered patterns to his apprentices.

🎨 We're paying homage to Robbins with a new paint-by-number style mural that will be installed this summer at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum! You can submit YOUR original art to be considered for the design at detroithistorical.org/mural

I keep some great finds for Facebook Marketplace and heres an example. Set five pairs costume earrings, in antique brass and coppery color ways. I replaced the ear wires on hoops and discs. For pick up in downtown Wayne or I’ll ship to continental US. Or DM me to make purchase arrangements. Love these!
