Large Configuration Box

I finished off this large configuration box by having a backing put on it which I covered with an embossed painted wallpaper. I made the drawer using foam core. On the sides I applied a texture using a few stencils. It now resides on my studio wall to store ink pads.

A short video of candles and a hand stitched lamp vignette. The base of the left and center thrift store candle holders were undesirable so I painted them white.

Upcycyled Tissue Boxes For Junk Journals

Results of a tissue box upcycled for journal making. I used my die cutting machine to cut out several sized tags from the side of the box. The flap acts as a tuck in spot. The top with plastic window is another tuck in spot.

Doily Lamp Shade and Ornate Wooden Stand

I painted a creamy white on this ornate carved wooden stand that was in it's original wood state. I then placed the lamp on it which I hand stitched vintage doilies on. This lamp shade was the most challenging with the circles on the bottom so I used chiffon rosettes to cover them.
