A Box For Lily

I made this box for Mandy's daughter Lily for her Birthday. I put ribbon on the top of it so she could hang it up. The Back

Art Doll Atc's


Do they count as Art dolls as they dont all have legs and they dont really look like people - well one does but not the rest of them, but they will have to do. They are for a swap that my bestest Forum Buddy Nes is running. Two for the swap and one for her because she is nice for running the swap.

A Bird House

This is an altered Bird Box I did for a swap on a forum I belong to. I really like this set of plates by Paperartsy. I wanted to do the box with a theme and these to me just seemed perfect for it.
I did the backgrounds with distress inks and over stamped them with patterns and designs before cutting them to fit the box, then I collaged the images over the top highlighting bits with glossy accents to try and give a layered effect. I drilled holes in the top for the string so It could be hung. The front

An Altered Matchbox

This is for an Altered Matchbox Swap I did. I am very overdue with this and I do hate to be late with things, but in this case it was unavoidable as I was just a lazy cow and could not get my arse in gear LOL.
This is for Zuzu, I was planning to do oriental as I know she likes that theme, I got out all my oriental stuff and this is what I ended up with LOL. I think the Matchbox had other ideas :) The Box just decorated and closed.


The Matchbox open and empty showing the inside of it.
