Boxes!

I love all kinds of fiber. So, its just natural I would be drawn to paper. I have been following Wendy's blog Threadborne at http://wendyfe.wordpress.com/ On her website she features beautiful fabrics and papers that she dyes with plants ala India Flint. One day she featured boxes she and her husband made at a workshop. I fell in love. I ordered the supplies and away I went.

These are my first two. These are 4"x4"x3". They are made from binder board, painted with acrylic paint, and papered with decorative paper. That's it in a nut shell. I added beads to the top as handles for these boxes. They were not complete until I distressed them with ink and paint. In the case of the pink box, I patted water on the ink and it bleeds to form a really cool texture.

Here is the lavender box.
