Silhouette Box

I created the image on this box from a photo of myself, years ago, as practice for working in Adobe Illustrator.  In the original black and white photo, I actually have short hair. Now, I have long(ish) hair, so maybe I was projecting forward back then?

I really love this item. It reminds me of old fashioned cameos and cut-out silhouettes...it also allowed me to create something soft and illustrative in a computer program I used to hate because I thought it was too harsh!  Live and learn, I guess :)

I applied one of my favorite artsy techniques...antiquing!  I love antiquing things. It goes along with my love of history and bygone eras.

This papier-mâché box is roughly 7" in diameter and 2" high, antiqued with water-based stain/varnish and made with love :)

Heart Painting Tiles

 

All put together

This week's featured creation is this beautiful set of 6 tile coasters!  

It's one of my favorites.  I scanned a painting I did while listening to music...back when I was in college. I'm fairly certain I was listening to the Titanic soundtrack at the time.  Please, don't judge :)

They are decoupaged and trimmed with ribbon.

 6 separate paintings when apart!

I'm changing how I do these featured articles...instead of donations (which are still appreciated) I'm going to link directly to the item on my Etsy page.

I'd love for them to have a good home!
