All boxed in…
July 14th, 2006Altered some papier mache boxes for a monthly challenge on my Yahoo group. I quite liked the way they turned out, although it wasn’t my intention at all, to make ‘pretty’ boxes, I found it quite became them.
I used fabric on one box, on the lid and along the outside, together with trimming braid. Inside I decoupaged a napkin onto a tiny bottle and finshed it off with some ribbon.
On another box I decoupages the lid with napkin and added some braid around it. I painted the box with Lumiere paints. Again I decoupaged a napkin onto a tiny bottle. I think this one looks quite dignified.
The last box, I painted and over-painted and distressed by rubbing and sanding. Inside is a tiny brass perfume bottle on some ribbon.
I have uploaded close ups of these into my Altered Art gallery.
