I have been wanting to do an altered match box. So when Tee offered a swap I jumped at the chance to make one. This is not the one I made for the swap, but they come to in a package so I made two! This is one side of the box. covered with vintage sheet music, cut out bird from a book with mesh ribbon. The other side of the match box. Covered with sheet music, stamped and colored with chalk pencils distressed and fake rhinestones. I love doing these!
All the goodies I put in the box.
Close up of doily. I found these in a old antique sewing box so I am thinking the are very old. Most every thing in the box was old enough to be antique.
I am not sure where these pic’s and text will end up on blogger cause I am using live writer, I will tell you again this is not the box I sent to my swap partner. Post that one soon as she gets it. All for now thanks for looking and come back soon
Blessings Donna

ReplyDeleteI love this. Actually. I love collage work of any kind. Re-purposeing and embellishment are such a worthwhile thing to do... useful and beautiful.
