This collaged trinket box is a breaking new ground for me -it's functional!
I liked the idea of having a piece of art that can be used.
I covered a little wooden box with brown parcel paper onto which I photocopied a brocade design, and embelished the whole things with vintage buttons, beads, charms and gems cos I just can't help myself!
Inside the box lid and base I pasted images of birds from a child's colouring book because I liked the contrast of having something flighty and free concealed inside (for views of this see my Folksy shop).
